One of the aspects I had not considered prior to opening the
Crafty Squirrel – was how nostalgic the shop would be for many visitors.
Some
of my customers have been well into their 80’s and of course many of all ages
as well, have entertained me with stories from their younger years prompted by the
memories - my vintage haberdashery, fabrics and assorted bits and bobs bring
up.
There has also been lots and lots of talk about Kewpie dolls
on a stick and how everyone got them as little girls at the Show and how they
loved them so much. Clearly after so much discussion about these dolls – I had
to do something!
SO! In celebration of our very own Ballarat Show – which will be held from Friday 11 November to Sunday 13 November…I thought it
only fitting to get some good old fashioned Kewpies on a stick to celebrate!
Each Kewpie is decorated in a different colour with her own
feather, sequins and glittery sparkles to match her gorgeous tulle skirt and is
attached to a hook stick that you can hang up anywhere you like.
You’ve got to love a bit of good old fashioned fun!
Please note: Friday
11 November has been declared a public holiday here in Ballarat in celebration
of the Ballarat Show – so on this day the Crafty Squirrel will be closed and
will re-open on Saturday 12 November as per normal trading hours.
