The Craft

Show


Hollyhock Hill

Town Hall.
                  
The doors of the Town Hall opened at ten am sharp this morning. Main St was a hive of activity as the awaiting crowd of eager spectators milled around outside the big oak door chatting happily amongst themselves. Preparations for the show have been in progress for some weeks now and the ladies were thrilled to have the day finally arrive. Many an hour had been spent with needle and thread in hand; everyone did their best to make sure this would be a grand show and the ladies were so pleased to have their handcrafts on display at last.
It was a glorious spring day and tables had been set up under the old willow tree in the town square and the partaking of refreshments was already underway. After an overnight rain the morning sun was streaming down through the branches giving the whole scene a picture postcard look. Everyone was dressed in their best and full of enthusiasm, anticipating the many compliments that were sure to be forthcoming.

The first exhibit upon entering the front door is

Cloth Dolls

made by Mumma Bunny





The hall was ablaze with colour and charm, such wonderful exhibits of excellence in needlework. Mumma Bunny has done herself proud, such a beautiful array of dolls.

They are all exquisitely put together with lovely detailed faces and the stunning  dresses are made of fine cottons and antique lace. Each doll wears delicate vintage lace pantaloons and pettiecoats above hand painted shoes. There was much ooooohing and aaaaahing amongst the admirers. There were so many dolls that it was very difficult to choose which ones to photograph. Mumma Bunny was inundated with requests to purchase the dolls, but she gently explained that she could not part with any of her dolls as she was very attached to them. Not only that but her four daughters also loved the dollies and would often hold tea parties with them in the garden or have them sit on their beds in amongst the lovely cushions Mumma Bunny also enjoys making. She did relent and offer to take orders and  hold classes for those that wished to learn the art of cloth doll making.

Mumma Bunny was beside herself, so many orders were taken that she declared she didn't know how and when she could fulfill them all. Little Nessa Bunny brought her Mumma a nice cup of tea and a yummy cupcake, and set to writing down the details of the dolls on order thus giving Mumma Bunny a chance to collect herself.
