Maple's (Cecile's) Parrot Set

The Week of Maple starts today -- so we'll try and do a couple more posts

with her before the week is over, haha.

Yep, Maple was very insistent that she get that parrot set that was released for Cecile last year. She received it around Christmas from her adoring minions (family members).

When we took these photos (around Christmastime) Maple decided she would show off her workspace - a human-sized desk/office where she has gathered some of her favorite piratey items. (This was before her new Laboratory idea.)

"How can I be a good pirate without a parrot?" she had asked.

So here she is dressed as a pirate, wearing Felicity's hat and jacket, Lemieux Doll Boutique jeggings - and with her parrot by her side. A very trendy look for the runaway this season. ;-)

We took these photos before we bought two completely awesome pirate outfits from See Joan Sew's Beds N Blankies site, see her ultra-beautiful pics below (not our pics):

(Doesn't that pic make you want to run out and buy Marisol?!)

(We have yet to take pics of these sets - even though we received them awhile ago - where does time go so quickly??? That actually gives us an idea for a new Pinterest board for our account.... Hmmmm)

For this photo shoot, Maple was pretty satisfied with the set up and her outfit. She was also very happy with her new parrot. Cecile calls him Cochon, which means pig. It is also kind of an insult - so we're not sure why she calls him that. Why would you call your parrot a bad name as his actual name? Maybe somebody who read all the books can tell us?

Anyway, Maple wasn't about to follow in Cecile footsteps. She named her parrot Capitán Sílex. I think she specifically named it something with accents because she knows I hate taking the time to insert accented letters into these posts. :-/

Maple says people "in the know" will get why she named her pet parrot Capitán Sílex. I don't get it. But it does sound very piratey and simultaneously posh, so I'll play along.

The set comes with the parrot, cage, newspaper, magnifying glass, paper dolls, and school/tutoring book. All very useful things for Maple - she likes to play with old-fashioned objects and carry out various types of quests, hunts, and investigations. :-)

Enjoy the rest of zee pics!
