Léopoldine : I am too much i' the sun...
oh give me some shade
lunch hour at repulse bay... deserted beach frequented only by a handful of expat mummies sunbathing their kids and babies who have no choice like Léopoldine... i hope my plastic girl won't melt
unfolding one by one these blythe clothings give me a lot of fun... This lovely set (sugarmag) even looks cuter when being put on a girl
A rainy evening, Caprice and Constance invited Leopoldine to their pyjama party, while i went to the opera (finally given up, sorry)...
Pyjama party (or slumber party) is held and considered much fun among children, for a sleepover, inviting guests to stay overnight at one's house. Kids are delighted to dress themselves in fancy pyjamas, stay up late, and talk and play until they fall asleep. Invited children often bring along their own pillows and other bedtime paraphernalia (teddy bear, doll...). They may play pillow fight, build blanket forts, or play board games, mastermind, monopoly..., and of coz also video games and watch movies. Some other ideas are playing tarot, playing the piano or other instruments together., or baking cakes together.. (these photo story activites will be continued next time...)
Leopoldine brought her teddy bear, SD sized rune cinderella doll and her royal pink pillow!
On Caprice and Constance, pyjamas from Dollsville, on Leopoldine, nighty night
Leopoldine dates with Plume today to go sunbathing. In the heat of these days, they have changed into yukata - the 'dawn' and 'dusk' yukata.

alfresco teatime a la japonaise... (even the dolls seem to be heat struck!)

Dusk :
A glimpse of today's dusk at home... still cannot imagine myself at the hour of dawn!
on Leopoldine "dawn" yukata by dollsville; on Plume, a mix-and-match and improved yukata by me from a garage sale yukata of ths same fabric with different tone, that I called the "dusk" yukata, to match with the dawn!
Food are from Gourmet de Kitty (i like this brand naming by takara!)
Two of the girls are hospitalised, undergoing surgery... Last night while waiting for the news of their sisters, during a tedious operation for days, Beatrice and Leopoldine reclined in their pink couch

Towards dusk, I dashed to kowloon park to utlise the end of this Sunday, to take some pix. I haven't got chance to for more than a week...
i just needed a green background. Just when i said there was nothing in this place, a vague rainbow came to my eyes...
in a momentary fleet of time, i wasn't able to get out Léopoldine and focus in place... only a phantomal rainbow captured

Léopoldine danced in the spring air
An idyllic place was found in the wood
Petite Léopoldine set the 'table'
Like a bee, Léopoldine smelt the nectar from tiny flowers
They have brought along baguettes with camenbert, pastry rolls of salmon, mushrooms and wild rice, a bottle of chablis and lot of juices
It's a shady day but if felt so good
Léopoldine was wearing a sky blue spring ensemble with hovering bees...
Play hide-and-seek
Get caught and fallen into sleep
A princess family pix - les Vagabondes (A vagabond is a travelling person who roams wherever they please)
a little rhyme, let's think of it, from a troubadour, lyric poet-musician in Medieval ages in provençal France, in langue d'oc, with a lute, sung of chivalry and courtly love...
wherever I roam, whatever realms I see, whoever I meet, my heart, untravelled, fondly turns to thee

A breeze steals into the air, hundreds (not exaggerating) of yellow leaves falling... what a nice treat to the eyes, to the ears and to the mind
She meets the princess Léopoldine in the wood! Both of them got green eyes. Caprice's eyes are moss green and Léopoldine got emerald eyes.
