Photo Challenge: Show the arrival of Little Peach

Isn't it just great when a book underlines how we can redeem ourselves/behaviour! Belinda has made a great turn around and this is a lovely happy chapter to read, as everything comes together. Er, unlike my Japanese dollshouse (apart from the room I have) ... however I am still intending to try to get it made, and will post a pic some months down the line?!

Everyone is happy now, new friends have been made, new avenues explored, we have fruition!

And then there's the book Little Plum ... which is more about Belinda's journey as well as the others'. It's a nice sequel.

And I loved the way Little Peach is introduced. It was kind of Nona to think of him for Belinda!

I enjoyed how Nona came up with her elaborate and secret plan to bring Little Peach home.

She and Mother must have enjoyed being co-conspirators very much,

And I imagine Nona was almost bursting with excitement.

In the meantime, Nona remains dedicated to maintaining Miss Happiness and Miss Flower’s lifestyle

in a culturally appropriate way and is fortunate to have so many supportive  helpers to accomplish it.

They have a new kimono, hats, scroll, and flower arrangement appropriate for the season,

And their table is freshly set for breakfast as well.

The arrival of Little Peach bodes well for a deepening friendship between Nona and Belinda.

It is a very satisfying conclusion.
