What do you think"? Phillipe asked Carolena? gesturing at the empty adobe walls.She thought the Hacienda would need a lot of work but being a sunny person she turned to the task at hand. Unloading her trunk.

Carolena carefully laid her new baby Charlotta in the cradle in the sparsely decorated bedroom.

Carolena held back tears as she thought of her parents back in Germany. That seemed like a lifetime ago. "Well it's getting dark" said Phillipe, "I think I'll go to bed".
The long journey had tired him. Carolena was glad to have him out of her sight as he was accustomed to being waited on and didn't really help.
She worked late into the night unloading her precious belongings.
It had been a long time since there had been a baby at the Hacienda and for Charlotta and Abuela it was love at first sight. Someone had found a happy home.Filipo is a Horsman doll, Carolena and Abuela contemporary imports (MUTTs manufacturer unknown @ this time) Baby Charlotta is an vintage hard plastic doll in original clothing.

Poor Carolena, not only is Phillipe not much help, but he also takes up most of the bed! I'm glad that Abuela and Charlotta have taken to each other - hopefully Abuela will be good support for Carolena.
Love your Starr furniture :-)
LOL you don't miss much Rebecca!!!!
I will have to add to Phillipe's list of faults that he is a bed hog!!!!! c
Lovely post.
Wonderful furnishings. That bed is great even though Phillipe probably is a bed hog! The dresser is fab too.
By the way, I always admire that tin washstand you have on the side bar.

Well, Pandora you and Rebecca certainly have Philippe's number!
The wash stand on the side bar is french and they pop up on ebay now and again at a range of prices, C
