Emilie's little helpers.....

It would seem that my predictions of dire consequences arising from Small Dog and Archimedes gaining entry to La Mignonette, may be a tad hasty.

Apparently they've been 'helping' Mademoiselle Emilie prepare the shop ready for opening.

Archimedes serenades Mlle Emilie

It would appear that they've also been helping themselves to some of the shop stock.  Small Dog has appropriated a rather fetching lacy bonnet, decorated with a silk ribbon to match her leather collar, and Archimedes has fashioned a dramatic curly moustache from Emilie's wigmaking material.

I have a feeling it won't end there......

However, Emilie, who is an avid champion of animal rights, seems unperturbed about being serenaded by a moustachioed rat, whilst a small Yorkshier Terrior sporting a lace bonnet looks on from her vantage point on the work table.

I shall reserve judgement........
