Miracle on 34th street, while Granny lets in a visitor.
"Thank you for letting me collect when no one's around Granny " says James
" You are welcome " Granny says " although you have me in big trouble!"
"I do!"
"Yes you do! a certain someone wanted to buy one and I had to say that they were all sold and make up stories " Granny smiling " and I am not good at making up stories!"
They open the box and unwrap what was inside, a pretty teacup covered in sprigs of holly
" Oh she'll love it" says James happily
" Mm " says Granny " she did so want the one with the spots "
"She did? "
" Yes"
"Well it's too late now" says James turning the cup round
"Yes it is " agrees granny " I'm sure she'll love this one too and she can always get the spotty one herself after Christmas if it's not sold!"
James admires the writing on the teacup.
" I'm so glad we had the name added " James grins at Granny " It will hopefully make up for you telling her about Tea drinking elephants !"
Granny's not so sure!
"Now I just have to sneak it into the house without her seeing " sighs James " She seems to be everywhere at the moment!"
"Let's put it back in the box and if she asks you can always says it's a box of teabags!" giggles Granny
Soon the cup is all wrapped and boxed and thanking Granny once again James picks it up and leaves, allowing Granny to get back to watching the film " I hope Santa's still in court " she mutters hurrying towards the stairs.

Oh bless!! Oh bless!!! I am grinning from ear to ear.....this is just my kind of a story.....she is so going to love this!!! Good luck getting it into the house without being seen now James!
ReplyDeleteAnd I agree with Granny....the best parts of that film are the courtroom scenes!
I so love Emma Bridewater and she these cups came out well even though they are slightly on the big side I just had to get a few for the dolls :) and of course Hatties's must have her name on!
DeleteI love watching all the really good Christmas films in December.. Will have to watch the classic it's a wonderful life just before Christmas... Need to ring those bells so the Angels get their wings 😀
So pleased for Hattie. She will be absolutely delighted when she opens this present, spots or no spots.
ReplyDeleteIs everyone there getting a gift then or just the chosen few that make up the main original Village cast?
She will Kendal, you know she likes to be the boss! Maybe I should have had that put on it!
DeleteI'm sure they'll all have gifts but you won't necessarily see them all!😉
What a fab gift! You have done (yourself) and the Village proud this year Dee...such wonderful attention to detail...Top Girl!!
ReplyDeleteLove these cups😍 Glad you are enjoying all the little details in our village shop! :)
DeleteBrilliant - Hattie is going to be thrilled.
ReplyDeleteNow we just need some tea drinking elephants to turn up for the other cups!
She will be !
DeleteDon't tempt them Rosie! That's all I need just before Christmas a heard of Tea drinking Elephants! 😉😀
Super storyline, Dee! Love Hattie's cup. Like most village shops it does seem expensive, but full of lovely unusual things. Cheers to the season of suspense & surprises🎄
ReplyDeleteThanks Carol. Me too! 😍
DeleteI'm sure we are willing to pay a little more to keep them open
But I am sure the price quoted for the Tea drinking Elephant was to put Hattie off buying! 😏
Aw, so sweet of James - and poor Granny, NO WONDER she needed to tie herself in verbal knots, trying not to sell Hattie something she knew would take the shine off James' lovely gift.
ReplyDeleteThat James is a sweet heart! Yes poor Granny she does not like to tell tales that's why it was so outrageous! 😀
DeleteOh my goodness what a wonderful surprise Hattie is going to get on Christmas Day, as long as James can get the box indoors without her seeing and wanting to know what's inside.
ReplyDeleteA beautiful gift Dee, I love the writing on it too, it's just so pretty!

DeleteI do love Emm Bridgewater pottery and so does our Hattie 😏 Xxx
