"Help Josefina get ready for bed with her blue-and-white Puebla basin and cotton towel. Then, pretend to light the candle in the silver-colored candlestick, and open her carved memory box—inside are six tiny treasures: a piece of Mamá’s lavender soap, a swallow feather, a silver thimble, a turquoise nugget, a rattlesnake rattle, and a heart-shaped charm called a milagro. Josefina’s stories tell why each one is special!"
This is a great accessory for Josefina and a great part of her story. The cotton 'towel' is just the same fabric and texture as Felicity's tea set napkin only bigger. Josefina's towel measures 8 1/2" by 11 1/4".
Josefina's Nighttime Necessities
The candle stick measures 2 3/4" without the candle; it is made of metal and very sturdy. The candle is rubber and it measures 1" tall. Josefina can actually hold and carry her candlestick.
Candle and candlestick
The tiny memory box is real wood hinged with real leathers straps. It measures 2 3/8" length by 1 5/8" wide by 1 1/4" tall.
The intricate carvings on the top of the memory box
Memory box
The ceramic basin is very big. The circumference is 4 1/4" at the crown and 2 3/4" at the base. It is thick, sturdy and very authentic.
Puebla Basin
The edge of the basin has an intricate heart pattern on two sides
Side of basin
The tiny treasures are very small, but very to scale. The rattle snake rattle is 1 1/4" long. The thimble actually fits Josefina's finger. The turquoise and the soap I added to my set because these items were not included. The milagro is metal and the swallow feather is imitation, but with a realistic look and feel.
Tiny treasures inside that are special to Josefina
I think Josefina needs her memory box especially. What else is her bedside table for if she can't have her things that are so special to her nearby?
