Ella & Tutu in Cologne

Story by Anna Mares. Doll by Lenna McGraw. Photography by Laura Mares

Ella and Tutu have finally arrived in Cologne, but they are a little frightened by all the new faces and strange voices.

Luckily, Ella devises a brilliant plan. They will explore around the house and uncover some hidden treasures.

Shortly after hiking into the backyard they uncover something they had never dreamed of finding, their very own private garden. Ella carries Tutu's travel fatigued body into a flower palace with an amazed expression.

 Ella gives Tutu a tour of the gorgeous flowers in the garden and Tutu adored every unique petal.

After exploring the garden, they decide to trek to the center of Cologne to see the beautiful Cathedral they have heard so much about, so Ella buckles Tutu into her stroller to prepare for the ride.

​

Once at the Cologne Cathedral, Ella and Tutu look through another beautiful garden. They find many unique flowers.

Soon they decide to wonder over to the majestic architecture. Together they jump off their bench to look around.

Ella and Tutu dance together in front of the cathedral and tourists giggle for them.

 ​

The girls make a silly pose for the camera and then run off to see the front of the Cathedral.

They stop in their tracks when they catch a glimpse of how high and large it is. Ella spots it first and then holds Tutu up for a better view.

 Finally, before it's time to leave, Ella and Tutu lay down to gaze again at the full moon, clouds and the beautiful Cathedral. They want to take in every wonderful detail!

If you know of a girl that would like her very own rag doll, let me know and I'll get you in touch with the seamstress.
