Half-Pint Hitty Goes to Washington
Little Hitty gets to take her couch
Little green-dress Half-pint girl is on her way to her new home in Washington DC. She is taking along a funny unpainted wooden couch, with burned-on speckles and words.
The couch once resided in a dollhouse made in the 1930’s for my mother and her sister. My great Uncle Henry built the dollhouse, and he and Great Aunt Lucille furnished it. The dollhouse itself is long gone, but my grandmother salvaged a few bits of furniture which have ended up with me. The couch and the wee green-dressed doll are now going to live with my mother’s sister’s grand-daughter, whose ninth birthday is in March.
The two remaining half-pints are sad to see their little friend go, but wish her many adventures and fun times with her new family!

Quimper Hittys 
You’ve made truly endearing episodes with the incoming and outgoing of these half-pints…I’ve really enjoyed all of what they’ve brought to the Quimper Hittys and the rest of us.
They are rather sweet, and I will miss the gang of five, but I must say the Hitty Cupboard is a little more peaceful since their numbers are shrinking!
What a magical birthday your little relation is going to have! I think that she should call her half pint Hitty Lucille Henrietta! I love the little sofa. I wonder why it has ‘Washington, DC’ on it? But how perfect that it’s going back to Washington. Will the half pint Hittys be staying in touch with one another? We can hope….
It is the perfect place for that little couch to end up – I don’t know if the 9-year-old will love it right away, but her dad will, and likely she will in time!
a gift to be treasured – maybe for several more generations? lovely.
I thought it was a little treasure too, and am so happy to send it to such a perfect recipient!
Sweet. And it’s nice that the sofa stays in the family with a few doll to enjoy it.
I am glad about that too, and I know my little relative loves the big Hitty I made for her, so I expect the little Hitty will be in good hands!
What a wonderful gift she will be having…just love the sofa, a treasured bit of history to go along with Half Pint Green 🙂
I think the funny little couch is a more endearing souvenir with its little bit of history, and I think the little girl will be a good caretaker of it!
Safe journey little one!
Thanks very much – the parcel is in the postal system now, with all our good wishes!
What an incredibly generous and caring gift. the Quimper Hittys have a very amazing person taking care of them.
I was so happy to pass the little couch on to a little relation, the dollhouse belonged to her grandmother too, (my mother’s sister) and it is just perfectly perfect that the she now lives in Washington DC!
