Diane took along her bucket as she walked
along the hedgerows and Corgi Creek. She filled it with lovely
Dame's Rocket. It took awhile to walk back to the house so when
she returned Diane placed the bucket of Rocket in her cellar
where it would be refreshed by the coolness. The flowers sit in
front of a large stone pier, which was built as the base for a
center chimney with three fireplaces on the first floor and
another one upstairs. The walls and the floor in the cellar are
all beautiful big stones. After the bouquet was refreshed Diane
brought it up into her old fashioned kitchen which also serves as
Emily & Ethlyn's Potions & Perfumery. E & E's P &
P is the Corgyn's pretend apothecary. The fragrance is delightful
and as the petals fall the doll family at Corgyncombe will also
gather them to save for potpourri. Dame's Rocket has always been
one of Diane's most favorite flowers.
