A SURPRISE PARCEL ARRIVES......

" Oh What a large box" says Paige
" It's addressed to mum and you. You should have a look inside" replies Ginnie

" They are mine!" exclaims Paige looking in the box.


" They are nice, I love the colour" says Ginnie
" These were made for me by my other mama , she has sent them to me "


" Hello" says Liberty coming in with Mathilda " Whats in the box?"


" It's from my last Mama" states Paige
" Look at this love dress and apron" says Ginnie lifting it out to show the others.
" Are they all yours?" asks Liberty
" No just the overalls and blouse.The others are to share"


" Here Tilly you try it" says Liberty to Tilly who has been watching quietly.
" I think it will look really nice on you" says Ginnie.


" And I think you should try this one" says Paige shyly to Libby
" Are you sure?"
" Yes"
"Ok lets finish checking the box first"



"Look here's a card" says Paige handing it to Libby " can you read it please"

Libby takes the card and reads aloud " Hi Dee, I hope you enjoy these clothes for the redheads.Paige is quite a Tomboy, so I included her overalls for outdoor play, love Ellen.  Oh No "
" What ?" asks Paige worriedly
Libby laughs " Mum was hoping you'd be a little lady but your a tomboy like the rest of us!" the girls giggle Paige looks a little worried still " I can be a little lady" she says with determination
Libby pats her shoulder " You be you, thats all mum wants" she states firmly.

Tilly and Libby go off to try on the new clothes. Ginnie says to Paige while they wait " Dont you want to put on your overalls?"
" No" says Paige " I like my new dress and I will wait until another time to wear them "
Ginnie grins " Ok" She thinks Paige is going to prove she can be a little lady.



The girls return in the new clothes.
" You look so nice " says Ginnie and Paige together.
" Yes even without red hair" says Libby smiling.
The three red heads smile in sympathy " I like blonde hair! " declares Tilly " Me too " pipe up Ginnie and Paige.
Libby laughs" Here comes mum with the camera, get ready to pose"




The girls with Tilly wearing the apron.


Tilly without the apron.
" Come on Mum wants to take some pictures outside while the sun is out" says Paige.


" Why is mum making us stand so we are in shadow?" whispers Tilly to Libby
" Because she wants the nice green leaves behind us" Libby whispers back


The girls all stand patiently while mum takes half a dozen photo's.

Holding hand Ginnie and Paige pose for the last few photo's.
" I'm glad I came to live here " says Paige
" I'm glad I came to live here too" Says Ginnie " I think we are going to be the bestest of friends"
" Me too" grins Paige " Me too"
