Teeny Baskets & Brooms

I am always on the lookout for handmade

   accessories that are period appropriate for my dolls. 

 Not an easy task.  I was surprised & delighted

 to receive these wonderful primitive baskets from my

 dear friend Teresa.

  She gathered the materials for the baskets in the

 woods at "Hard Cracker Farm" where she lives with

her husband Dave.

I will not enjoy parting with them!

-------------------

I attended a historic arts show at Arrow Rock,
Missouri a couple years ago and met a young
apprentice broom maker.  She liked my dolls, and
 I liked the brooms.  Long story short,
 The Widow Perkins now resides with Miss Emily.
 &  I have handmade Ozark
 brooms......doll size!

Emily has done a beautiful job & the

size is just right.

 I'm sure the Dolly's are looking forward to

 using these fine brooms!
