Treasure In The Attic

      Hello everyone! Today I have a very exciting story about an amazing treasure that Liliana Tuxedo Cat finds in her attic. Enjoy!

      Liliana Tuxedo Cat threw herself down on her bed. She was mad. Really mad. Her mother had just told her that if she wanted new roller-skates she would have to pay for them herself. Roller-skates were expensive, Liliana had no idea how she would pay for them. Then it dawned on her! She would have a garage sale. All she needed was to find some stuff to sell....

      She looked over at her sister Rosetta's vanity set and makeup. Liliana thought that the vanity took up precious room, in the room she shared with her sister. Now, she had an excuse to get rid of it. Liliana started to fantasize what she could do with the extra space, when a thought dawned on her. There was no way Rosetta would ever let Liliana get away with it. Ever.


      Liliana decided to look behind her bed in the so - called "attic." She was sure that there had to be some old toys that she could sell. With all her might, she pushed the bed aside so she could reveal what lay behind the bed.

      Old toys were scattered all around the alcove, and there was dust ... everywhere. The dust blanketed the toys in a thin layer of grime. Liliana tried to blow off the dust on top of an old play table but all the dust just came back into her face. Liliana coughed, and swatted the dust away from her face.

She saw that didn't look like a toy under the play table. She picked it up. It was a newspaper. On the top of the page it said "A Day In Brambly Corners." She touched part of the newspaper, and it disintegrated into her paws. The pictures were very old, she decided to look through them all very carefully...

Town Photo: 1885

Liliana was stunned, she couldn't believe that this newspaper was from 1885! Liliana realized what great money she could make off of this newspaper! She would be able to buy those roller-skates in no time. She was about to put a price tag on the newspaper, when she suddenly realized that it wouldn't be right. This was a town treasure. If was rare to find photos from so long ago, in such good shape! Liliana firmly decided to take the newspaper to Mayor Tippytail. Liliana decided that she could wait until Christmas to get her roller-skates. Before, giving the newspaper to the Mayor though, she took a last peek at the photo of Laura (Lillian's great - great grandmother), Ida, and Rebecca. They reminded Liliana so much of her friends Isabelle and Renee. Maybe, just maybe they were Isabelle and Renee's great - great grandmothers.....

Brooke and Rosetta's Sleepover

Hi everyone! It's Ellie here, and today I have a post on the sleepover Brooke Tippyscotch and Rosetta Tuxedo Cat had. Enjoy!

Rosetta Tuxedo Cat woke up in a jolly state of mood, for she was so excited for her sleepover with Brooke Tippyscotch, that day. Like always her sister Liliana was up before her, probably eating breakfast before going exploring with her best friend Isabelle. Rosetta literally jumped out of bed and started packing her suitcase. She packed slippers, her nightgown, hairbrush, and vanity set. Liliana called the vanity in their room vainty. She said this because she believed that people were usually "vain" when they wore makeup. Rosetta went downstairs after she packed her suitcase, she was already to go to the sleepover. Rose told her mother "I'm ready!" Rosetta's mom Natalie and Rosetta's sister Lily looked at her in a confused way. "The sleepover starts at 5:00 tonight, sweetheart" said Rosetta's mom. "Oh..." responded Rosetta, now she understood. "That why it's called sleepover, Rosetta" Liliana said rolling her eyes.


9 Hours Later


"Can we go now, mom?" Rosetta asked her mother. "Sure, go get on your jacket and boots and then we can leave" Rosetta's mom replied. Snow drifted down from the gloomy sky above, as Rosetta and her mother walked through the snow over to Brooke's house. Brambly Corners Susanne Tippyscotch warmly welcomed Rosetta and her mother into her house. Brooke helped Rosetta unpack everything from her suitcase while Susanne and Natalie talked over some chamomile tea and lavender tea cakes. After, Natalie went home Brooke showed Rosetta up to the reading alcove. As soon as Brooke and Rosetta arrived up in the alcove, they found Brooke's younger twin siblings Hopper and Honor playing around. Hopper and Honor were both quite adventurous and usually were finding some new way [usually pretty dangerous] to express their curiosity. Hopper and Honor also refused to sleep on the ground. The Tippyscotch house only had one floor so Susanne had to construct a safe way to put Hopper and Honor's crib up in the air. She attached the crib to a rim along the edge of the house with some glue dots. The other side of the crib is held up with a wooden ladder also used to reach the alcove. Susanne was originally thinking of putting the crib in the alcove area but Brooke refused to give up her special reading space.

Brooke and Rosetta had some Berry Salad for dinner. Almost every meal in Brambly Corners included berries and it was the main food for every animal that lived in Brambly Corners. A Berry Salad was a classic for many of the animals who lived there. Berry Salads included Açai Berries, Blackberries, Blueberries, Boysenberries, Chokecherries, Cloudberries, Dewberries, Elderberries, Gooseberries, Huckleberries, Juniper Berries, Lingonberries, Nannyberries, Persimmons, Raspberries, Strawberries, Sugarberries, and Thimbleberries. After dinner Rosetta and Brooke played with Honor and Hopper. Soon Honor and Hopper were tired and they went up to their crib. Before, you knew it Brooke and Rosetta got tired too and went off to bed. Before she drifted off to sleep she was thought about what an amazing sleepover she and Brooke had, had that day.

Thank you for reading my post for today! I will have more coming soon, so keep your eyes open! Bye!
