Last week, my daughter and I opened the very old small suitcase that I use to store my vintage hankie collection.
We were looking for the perfect hankie to make a dress for the little wooden doll that I had carved for her.
Miranda, the Mermaid that I carved last year, has been feeling the sudden onset of cold weather.
I overheard her complaining about the cold to Bessie Gnome, Coco, Thallie and the dogs about the cold.
As a Mermaid, Miranda doesn’t mind cold water, but the dry cold that she is experiencing feels very uncomfortable.
Luckily, there was a silk hankie with elegant lace that suits Miranda perfectly as a shawl:
She’s thrilled!
As Miranda was posing for the photo, perched on the edge of the suitcase, I noticed that there was a very sweet hankie that looked perfect for Lettie Bunny:
Lettie is now a cozy bunny, and tickled pink about it.
She feels that she can face winter in the Wall Doll House without a shiver.
Lettie spotted a tiny elegant silk hankie that she was sure would make Peggetty very happy.
She’s right!
Peggetty, Lettie and Miranda are all very content with their new wraps, and are so grateful that a friend blessed us with her mother and grandmother’s hankies!
