Red, White, and Blue With a Re-do Too!

Once upon a time there was a beautiful Lady named Liberty, who lived near a port. She loved to welcome all the newcomers to her shores. One day Liberty met a very handsome man named Sam. She learned quickly that he was very patriotic, believed in equality and justice for all, and had fallen head over heels for Liberty. It was a whirlwind romance and the two knew they were destined to become one. They lived an idyllic life and one day Liberty and Sam found they were to blessed with a Little Miss they named  America and thier bliss was complete..
May we introduce Miss America..........................................
This isn't the real Miss America, but a Brown Gingham Creation Angelic Inspiration tribute to her.
I found a 1940's patriotic doll who needed some TLC. Her hand-crocheted dress and hat needed a few 'alterations' ( she is 70 ya know, so , sometimes we are  all in need of a little nip and tuck here and there.) There are sequin stars stitched to the dress too, but the pic couldn't  catch them. Her wings are a 1940's doily, and she waves her new flag proudly. She never goes anywhere without her favorite book by Guest,
Poems of Patriotism dated 1941. This vintage inspired tribute is available for your collection at $29.99 just leave a comment.
