- Featuring the former New England Lighthouse from Real Good Toys Company
It’s official . . . the previous owners of the New England Lighthouse have been hit by the current economy and have had to abandon their precious lighthouse home leaving all belongings behind. The Emerald Coven of Witches has purchased the lighthouse to use for future local chapter meetings and a shop to sell magical goods. The problem is that none of the coven members have time to spend fixing up the lighthouse to suit their needs. But . . . they have come up with a solution that should work well.
In a recent unfortunate event, a coven member named Zelda was found to be dealing in black magic which is against the coven rules. The head members have bound Zelda’s magic powers and banished her to the lighthouse. As punishment, Zelda will have to work on the lighthouse, without using magic, making it ready for the coven to use. What she once could have done with a few flicks of her wand she now has to do with good old manual labor! Most unfortunately, if Zelda ever wants to get her magic unbound, she will have to report her on her progress each week to the coven. After each report, a coven member will visit the lighthouse to make sure Zelda is not getting any help from magical friends in fixing up the lighthouse. Fortunately for Zelda, one old non-magic friend has agreed to help even though she is old and can’t do much.
Zelda and her friend Matilda arrived to find the lighthouse in this run-down condition. It would appear that the previous owners were very neglectful of the property and extremely unhappy about having to leave.
Neither are happy about the daunting work ahead of them but at least the lights are working and there are sleeping quarters for two. The windows are not broken and if they can find wood, the fireplace will provide warmth from the chilly sea air. It could be worse they decide as they walk off in search for wood.
It will be interesting to see what these two get up to while working on the lighthouse. If you would like to follow along, bookmark this post and keep watch for weekly updates! You might also join the Covered Chipboard Facebook page to get notice of their progress reports.
