Summer Dress
A little knitted bodice and a scrap of Liberty Lawn makes a new summer dress for Min.

She immediately put it on and went out to the back garden, where she found the first June strawberry. Unfortunately Min is very short and couldn’t reach it!

Quimper Hittys 
Everyone is happy when Min is around……She has a delightful personality
Min is a very sunny girl she can’t help but induce smiles with her sweetness and charm!
This reminds me of The Borrowers books.
Oh the Borrowers! I used to love those stories!
Another delightful glimpse into the creative imaginations and kind spirits of the Quimper Hittys. Thank you for a sweet smile to begin my day.
You are welcome – it seems like a good day when it starts with a Hitty smile!
So colorful, so much community effort, so much effort to have a so pretty strawberry. We’ve been having a few everyday here ourselves. They are so good, aren’t they?
This was the best strawberry of them all, according to the four strawberry harvesters!
the girls are all quite fetching in their new summery frocks. Hope they enjoy their very large berry. Loved seeing them all work together to harvest the berry.
They were so happy it is finally summer frock weather, and Min especially with her pretty new one! That was a large berry! They all enjoyed nibbling their piece of it, and the humans were happy to help finish it off!
Every one of the 5 thoughts already recorded have echoed my feelings exactly! working together – and so simply joyfully. This little community provides such uplift to start one’s day…
Perhaps every task is lightened by cooperation, ingenuity and fun – the Quimper Hittys certainly think so, especially with a strawberry as a reward!
Oh, what an enchanting episode! Absolutely delightful in every way! Thank you!
You are welcome! We love to follow the Hittys around with a camera – you never know what fun they will get involved with!
The girls look darling in their summer dresses. They are so loving and helpful to one another and that outdoor table, chairs and tea cups looked so festive…especially with that sought after, delectable, juicy strawberry.
We love that they are cool and comfortable in these dresses – I was given the green top and yellow top one – they are crochet – which I never learned to do…Min is wearing my first successful knitted top with fabric skirt dress! We think there will be more!
beautiful frock, and brilliant basket (and such a gorgeous doll you carved)
Thanks! I take credit in this case for the frock only…well, and the photos, and the three bigger dolls. I have three dear carving teachers, and one of them (t c vollum) carved Min, and one of the others (Janet Cordell) made the basket from some kind of giant acorn cap.
