Viola
Constance brought home a sweet little sister from her trip to the Ozarks. Her name is Viola, because she has a Downy Wood Violet in her hair…

…and she is a little shy.

Tuesday offered to carry her stuff to the Quimper Hitty bedroom…
.
…and Gilly came to play!
We just came back from the Hitty Aux Arc event (say Aux Arc in french and you’ll hear “Ozark”). We met many Hitty friends, exchanged gifts, learned new things, ate delicious food, and had a busy time! Every delegate to the event received a wonderful hand-carved and dressed doll made by the organisers, sisters Janet Cordell (Click here for her website) and Adina Huckins (Click here for her website). I am sure my new Quimper Hitty, Viola is the most beautiful of them all!
Rose is now busy knitting a new pair of socks, and Jane is cooking up a welcome feast…Eugenia is reading the new book I brought back, and Constance is having a little lie-down after a whirlwind of excitement and a long journey home!

Violet IS stunning indeed. How nice to have a new sister to join your household.
We loved the sweet downy violet in her hair! I am kind of wondering if she is musical too, with a name like Viola? Rose will have to enlist her if so!
Violet is indeed very pretty but I am afraid I received the prettiest of the event Hittys! (grin). the girls welcoming her home is very sweet. I look forward to her adventures in the Quimper Cupboard
Your girl is adorable, they all were…what fun it was! Rose says socks before adventures!
That was a quick trip, welcome to Victoria, Viola. What a lucky girl to join the Quimper Hittys. And she will need a pair of socks and slippers as quickly as possible.
It was a very quick trip, and we think we are the lucky ones…we met many friends, and we are pretty sure Viola will be as gentle and generous as her makers! Rose is knitting!
Viola is a very special Hitty. She is simply lovely, from her face to her profile to her sweet feet and that flower in her perfectly carved hair is picture perfect.
So glad you all had such a wonderful time…it’s nice to have you back safe and sound.
We enjoyed our trip, it was a long way to go for a short visit, but very enjoyable, and we think it will be fun to have Viola in the Quimper clan!
