Valentine Wish

PEG AND POG SEND A VALENTINE WISH

Peg and Pog and Glenda send a special Valentine wish to all lovers.  February 14 is the traditional day for sending a Valentine wish to your sweetheart.

Romance is in the Air

Romance!  What exactly does it mean?  According to the Macmillan dictionary online, the countable noun, ‘romance’ is “a feeling of excitement that you get from new and slightly dangerous experiences.”

Until Pog met Peg he had not experienced anything particularly exciting or dangerous.  Break dancing, although being somewhat exciting and dangerous, had not had any romantic effects on Pog.  Of course break dancing on his own, in private, did not set Pog up for any likely romantic experiences.

Peg and Pog Valentine Wish

Peg and Pog stars of Dolls are Different, or are they?

Peg and Pog know a thing or two about romance

Pog can thank his unique execution of the ‘orbital rotation’ break dance move, as the catapult (literally) that lands him among the roses and his ‘romantic awakening.’

Peg captures the very essence of romance in the language of love as only she knows how.  Can Pog say ‘no’ to the angelic vision of Peg as he regains consciousness (among the roses)?

Of course, the only response he can offer is that of a gentleman, “Yes, thank you very much.”  Pog feels an overwhelming urge of love for the angel who appears before him.

Such sensitivity!  Such insight!  The wonder and mystery that overtakes Peg and Pog must be romance.  Feelings of ecstasy, unconditional love and joy as two souls reach out to each other and meld together in harmony!

What Peg actually says to Pog is not important.  For Pog, the message is clear and he is excited.  That is all that matters.  The language of love is indeed powerful and potent.  It sweeps all concerns away and, as Pog finds out, it can snap a bloke from a dazed state to full alertness in a moment!

Bush Wedding Gumdale Brisbane

Bush Wedding in Gumdale

Celebrate your bush wedding in Gumdale, the delightful outer-Brisbane suburb in Queensland.  The Gumdale Historic Museum is an authentic pioneer’s house right in the heart of Gumdale.

So near to Brisbane and the southern Bayside areas, this charming venue is just perfect for an Australian bush wedding. 

House in the Bush

Experience the feeling of living in a house in the bush in the early 1900s.  The house is constructed of depression-era, 1920s-1930s, tin shingle and weatherboard.  It has furniture, clothes, books and tools that are authentic depression-era, and these are just delightful.

The house sits in an Australian bush setting with grassed level ground and is next to a sealed car park.  This makes for easy access, especially for the Bridal Party and guests.

There are lots of fantastic natural bush photo opportunities too!  Not only are the outside areas great, but the inside of the house are also perfect for those fun photos.  Create your own bush life with some props from the museum’s collection.  This truly is the authentic bush adventure!

The adjacent Gumdale Progress Association Hall is also available for hire, either as a ceremony venue, or reception venue.

Please contact Robyn Nalder:  International – 61+732455009  Australia – 07 3245 5009 for hiring details.

I Love Bush Weddings

I love bush weddings!  Not only are they relaxed and fun, but everyone feels welcome at a bush wedding.  I create unique wedding ceremonies that capture the true essence of an Australian bush setting.  Contact Glenda to book  for your Australian bush wedding.

Bush Bride

Meanwhile, please enjoy the following tale of a ‘Bush Bride’ as she settles into domestic life in the Australian bush.  She may be new to the bush, however this Bride is no shrinking violet!  She is always cheerful as she comes to grips with the various challenges of life in the bush.

7 New Cleveland road

Episode 6: Madame Noscova’s Moscow Mission

Madame Noscova’s Moscow Mission

Madame Noscova’s Moscow Mission is the sixth episode in the micro-series, Dolls are Different…or are they? a pegdoll production.  The Doll community has wedding planning fever!  Family and friends, both old and new, are busy thinking up ways to contribute to the wedding day of Peg & Pog.  The suggestions and ideas come thick and fast from family and friends on what should happen on their wedding day.  They are not sure that they can cope with any more ‘helpful’ ideas.

Madame Noscova and Ballet Class

Madame Noscova and Ballet Class

Madame Noscova, that exotic Russian ballet teacher is excited!  She is busy planning for the newly-formed break-dance ballet group, the Beat Belles, to dance at Peg & Pog’s wedding.  Peg & Pog really do not know what to say to an exotic Russian ballet teacher, not having previously met one!

Before Peg & Pog know it, Madame Noscova and the Beat Belles decide on their contribution to the celebrations!

Madame Noscova and the Beat Belles find their inspiration

Madame Noscova declares that she needs inspiration!  She must visit the home of the Bolshoi Ballet in Moscow, Russia.   Anjeanette, Anjoane, Anlouise, Anmarie and Antenile, Madame Noscova’s ballet class, who with DP,  Peg’s little 8-year old brother, form the Beat Belles, decide that they also need inspiration.   After all, they are the ones who bring Madame’s inspirations to life in their dance steps!

DP, ever the dedicated artist, stays home to improve on that famous break-dance move, the ‘Orbital Rotation’.  Pog performs the ‘Orbital Rotation’ in his break-dancing moments.  This is the move that Pog demonstrates to DP at Peg & Pog’s first meeting in the Rose Garden, and DP is keen to invent his own ‘busting’ move that is impressive.

Madame Noscova and the rest of the Beat Belles take off on their Moscow Mission for inspiration!  Adventure, excitement and delightful scenery await the little travellers.  They cover long distances in the air, on the water, and over land to reach their destination.  They are fearless and dedicate themselves thoroughly to the task.  At last, ‘inspiration’ is within their sights!  Madame Noscova and the Beat Belles find their inspiration at the Bolshoi Theatre in Moscow.

All dolls and the creator/director/producer etc etc, Brisbane’s Really Good Celebrant, Glenda J Ashleigh, hope that you enjoy Episode 6: Madame Noscova’s Moscow Mission

Episode 5: Big Bee’s Wanderlust

Dolls are Different, or are they?

a pegdoll production

Big Bee’s Wanderlust leads to big adventure

In this episode Big Bee’s wanderlust takes him far and wide.  Big Bee is a real ‘homebee’ who is content with buzzing happily among the roses.  Big Bee loves the Rose Garden and buzzes around the lovely blooms all day long.

Big Bee

Big Bee

 

The sun is shining in the Rose Garden and Big Bee inspects each rose closely.

He takes his time, and lands softly on a delicate rose petal.

The rose garden is the most beautiful and peaceful place, and Big Bee delights in his home garden.

 

 

Big Bee feels the urge

It takes a lot to disturb Big Bee, however a ‘stunning’ encounter with Pog causes Big Bee some unrest.

Pog Doll star of the micro-series "Dolls are Different, or are they?"

Pog Doll

The twins, Pip and Pepper, chase Big Bee who takes refuge on Pog’s head.  Polly, Pog’s Ma, rushes forward to save Pog from Big Bee, however disaster strikes!  Pog and Big Bee end up among the roses.  Although this is the second time that Pog finds himself on the ground, among the roses, this is the first time for Big Bee.

This changes the Rose Garden for Big Bee!  It is not a peaceful place any more.  Big Bee, dusts himself off and feels the urge to follow new flight paths.

The urge to ‘wanderlust’ grips Big Bee and he catches the first breeze to his new adventure!

Big Bee discovers many new places, strange sights, gardens, dazzling colours and lovely flowers.  Big Bee makes friends with Bizz and Bozz who love to buzz.  The new friends enter a local bee-buzzing contest.  Big Bee wins first prize for the ‘Best Buzz’ and receives a handsome trophy for his buzzing efforts.

The effects of too many frenzied buzzing contests however, take a toll on Big Bee’s particular ‘Bee-ness’ and Big Bee decides to take a break from wanderlusting.  Big Bee times his arrival home to the Rose Garden brilliantly!  It is Peg & Pog’s wedding day and all dolls are excited on this joyous occasion.

Big Bee and all dolls and the creator/director/producer etc etc, Brisbane’s Really Good Celebrant, Glenda J Ashleigh, hope that you enjoy Episode 5: Big Bee’s Wanderlust
