Last Friday lunchtime the Quimper Hitty human rescued this small reproduction china doll, from a charity shop. The doll’s name is Elizabeth according to a hand-written label stuck to the underside of her little stand. She is sewn into her pretty hand made clothes which include a silk dress and hair ribbon, and nice underthings. Elizabeth has taken up residence in the human’s office, on top of the filing cabinet in the Museum. Elizabeth will enjoy the daily company of whichever Hitty comes with me to work! This week Hatty is the pocket Hitty, and she and Elizabeth spent some time visiting the current display in my Hitty-sized Office Art Gallery.
It is always nice to walk home from work with a Hitty in my pocket…Hatty wore her favourite blackberry-patterned dress, and pleated pinafore, but didn’t bring a wrap because it was a lovely sunny day when we left for work.
