*Persnickety Hilda*

Persnickety Hilda 

age 119

*Persnickety Hilda* is the second in a new line of poppets at "The Merry Ghost"...our "Small Folk"; sweet, button-jointed dolls in lilliputian sizes... 

We at *The Merry Ghost* respectfully acknowledge and thoughtfully defer to Hilda's 119 years of wisdom.  We are more than willing to admit that if you live that long you're probably doing something right--maybe even a couple of "things"....

After out-fitting and trimming Hilda, we believe she has lived so long through an astounding amount of cantankerous opposition to....everything.  Her lace was changed out twice.  Three different prints for her skirt were cut, sewn, and considered (only 3 were acceptable...from hundreds of choices!!!).  Her star button was 3 boxes deep in storage--and her hanging loop covered in a mulberry paper flower (not shown) took a solid 45 minutes, 5 attempts and 7 swear words.  (There's also a broken needle incident which still, literally, pains us.)  

So. In short--you have been warned.  We've no idea what sort of requirements Hilda might have in regards to her new residence but we expect they will be substantial and consume a great deal of your time, all in all. 

Regards,

The Merry Ghost
