What's Up with the Castle People?

By Vickilane

As most of you know, my corner cupboard, once the place I displayed special seasonal objets, is now half Josie territory. I still get the top two shelves but as she grows, her empire may move upward.

I'm always interested in how she arranges the Castle People. Often by the time she leaves, they are just a Big Mess but on Monday she left an interesting scene.


The horses and the Dire Wolf were on the second shelf with four Faery riders, pretty much as they'd been before.

On the bottom shelf though, Something was going on.

The two Magical Glass Barges (plastic tops from Christmas card boxes) seem to have become party boats.

This one's very crowded.

I think this king is propositioning the lady in blue. 

And this barge is atop a yellow rock, some of its passengers are caught in a net, and the purple queen has swooned.  Or something. It's her king that's propositioning the blue lady.  This king (whose wife is on the other barge party boat) looks to be having entirely too good a time considering the situation.

Meanwhile, trees and thimbles are congregating atop one of the castles.

And the party spirit has spread upward to the third shelf where Mary and Joseph have put Baby Jesus on a sled.
