White Vignettes 'at home'




I looked around my home and found I have many 'white' decorative pieces.
Packing Hare with baby
(vintage tag says: Eskimo made Rita from Spence's Bay)
with a Beswick white bear and a white sugar bowl from home (that makes it vintage +)
Brigadoon demi cup and saucer with flow blue/white sugar
and a few of DGS's clam shells from his 'collection'
vintage pitcher and cows (likely from a nativity scene) on crochet
and a Graphics Fairy teapot in a white frame
this banner follows after yesterday's post - this is the next set with white lace
and another picture of my kitchen display shelf, "Family"
Packing Doll information

a direct quote from:
Ulukhaktok Packing Dolls
Inuit women have made dolls from the earliest times. Packing Dolls bring together this heritage with the materials brought by the traders. Packing Dolls are made wool duffel, They are hand-embroidered and wear a parka. A baby is created and placed in the hood of the parka. These dolls are delightful and are collected by Inuit art collectors and doll collectors alike.
Another reference site is Canadian Collections Nunavut.

    Hi
    I saw you over on Cladia's comment page. Then when I read your profile I knew I had a lot in common with you. Then when I saw you had a pack animal similar to ones that we carried in our gallery, I knew we had a lot in common!
    I just became a follower and can't wait to visit your past post and future ones as well!
    Blessings-Kimberly

    What a good idea for those who enjoy displaying lambs or cows...using a manger scene. I may have to dig out my lamb based on that information. Sweet vignettes and lots of whites.
