Thirteen
Unusual behaviour
Constance is sitting around in her underwear…
.
.
Awful noise
…and she’s listening to horrible music, turned up way too loud, her clothes are on the floor and her bed is a mess!
.
.
Concern
What is going on…the rest of the Quimper Hittys are very concerned!
.
.
Flowers
But Perdita brought her flowers…
.
.
Cake for breakfast!
…Tansy and Carrot Soup brought cake…
.
.
İyi ki doğdun
And Constance regained her equilibrium!

Happy Birthday
Constance is a teenager now – thirteen years ago today I finished carving and painting my very first wooden doll…Happy Birthday dear dolly….and thanks for the fun you have generated and included me in!

Quimper Hittys 
A very Happy day indeed! A wonderful, spirited and inspiring wooden was born, a talented carver revealed and…we all got to participate in this great adventure of sharing and smiling! Life is oh! sooooo good! Happy birthday Constance and may you enjoy countless returns! 😘
She has been good fun and good company, through thick and thin, I couldn’t have asked for a better little wooden friend!
Happy Happy Birthday Dear Constance, and thank you for all the joy you have brought into our lives! Thank you for leading the way to a whole constellation of delightful little wooden wonders! And, here’s to many many many more birthdays! ❤
Constance hopes for many more birthdays too, and many more days of fun and frolics in the Hitty Cupboard!
Happy Birthday sweet Constance. I’ve appreciated your steadfastness over the years.
Constance is my constant companion! She is probably going to be my least difficult teenager!
Happy Birthday Constance! May your teen years pass quickly!
She says thanks, and we hope so too!
Happy Day indeed!! Dear Constance the Country Hittys apologize for missing your birthday …They all wish you
the brightest of days. You have given all of us a good deal of fun during your lifetime. Thank you!
Not to worry! Constance had a wonderful day, though it was dull weather, we had a nice outing in the afternoon, and even cake!
Happy Birthday Constance, you share the day with my granddaughter Carrie who is 19. I hope you continue to bring us many more years of delightful stories.
Happy Birthday to Carrie! Doesn’t time fly! Constance plans to be around for many more years of delight!
Happy birthday dear Constance, Happy birthday to you!
Thanks so much! She did have a happy birthday!
I can’t believe I missed this story.
What an adorable narrative. Just loved it.
Happy 13th Birthday dear, dear Constance.
Thanks! Constance says that birthdays are best when stretched out over days, and she is surely delighted with all birthday greetings, no matter when they appear!
Happy Birthday, Constance! Wow, it doesn’t seem that long! Life has a way of flying by. Congratulations to the human for picking up a piece of wood and a knife thirteen years ago.

It doesn’t seem so long ago at all – and thank you, we’ve learned so much in thirteen years of doll-carving! All the Quimper Hittys are glad I learned and improved, though Constance will always be my first and dearest!
