Peg Doll Repairs
Sweet FaceYoung Human spotted an old doll in my cupboard and cried out what a sweet face. I thought that anyone who loved the doll enough to think her face was sweet should have her…
This is a very old doll (turn of the last century), one of several that my grandmother bought in Pollock’s Toy Museum in the 1950’s. My Grandmother told me that thousands of these peg dolls had been discovered in a barn somewhere, and ended up in a bin for sale at the Museum. I have three of the dolls, so was very happy to let Young Human take this girl home with her.
Surprises in the April Garden
Big Tulips
We are so glad that our Tulips are growing, and budding – but they look like they are going to be plain old yellow…not an exotic red with yellow stripes like the picture on the label…
Floradora’s Frosty morning
Warm
Floradora is glad of her knitted dress and thick sweater…there was frost on the ground this morning! Siyah doesn’t much mind, as she still has her winter coat!
Floradora’s March Delights
Tulip leaves
Sunny again today! Floradora was chilly when she went to the garden last time so she wore a thick, comfortable “Mini Sock Yarn Sweater” when she went out this time.
Spring Buds in the Garden Trees
Pear
It was a sunny moment after the hail and before the rain, so Floradora went to the garden to encourage the buds on the trees. She sat in the pear tree and whispered to the buds – please produce plenty of perfectly plump pears!
