It is Grandma's week this week ...
...... and a very special fairy doll xx
Please meet Queenie, she is my grandma's sewing box fairy..... the material for her dress I mentioned in a previous blog was an old cushion I had seen in her house forever, the rest of the trinkets are from her lovely old button box, a button, press stud or 2, crocheted collar and flower, hook and eye earrings, and last but non least a bobbin hat. Her necklace reminds me of a picture I have of my Mum with teddy bear xxxx
A lovely large press stud, these were on one of those cards A reminder of a picture I have of my Mum, Nanny's
so gorgeous very 1950's xx daughter, and a stylish bobbin hat xx

I have cards of those old press studs (poppers) and hooks and eyes that belonged to my Mum. Also lace collars and old lace ribbon.

All beautiful Chris. I think you should make more pocket fairies. I think people would love to buy them in these uncertain times. Also good for children starting school - a bit like a worry doll. I for one would buy one. Take care - Miriam x
