Unexpected find today!

[RainbowRay]

Found something quite interesting during my charity shop round today! Look at this mildly-grumpy lady!

She looks like a handmade one! (from one of the old Butterick patterns, am I right?)
I was really excited when I found her! Makes me wonder where she came from! Who made her? How old is she?
 
She's missing a horn, maybe I'll make her one. Some of the felt bits on her are a little pulled too, I'll probably need to trim them a little, but other than that she seems fine.


I also found some other good things in the charity shops today: a family of Sylvanian mice, a Buttershy masquerade Zelf, a fuzzy little puppy in my pocket, and a blender (now I can make smoothies!!)

I guess her exact past will always remain a mystery to us! I love the thought that somebody put so much work into her, probably made her for a daughter/granddaughter.
I quite often find toys that look old and handmade, and I'm often kind of tempted to bring them home because of the thought of the history behind them, but I just don't have room to keep stuffed toys that I don't REALLY love. There's always room for a pony, though.

On another note, I really love the kind of short fur fabric that old toys like these are made of (handmade ones or otherwise). Why can't I find plush fabrics like this anywhere these days?

What a cool find!

What an interesting find. I too wonder what her history is.  She is still lovely and white.  Congrats

I just noticed something about her. Look at her eyes! No wonder she looked a bit grumpy, lol!

She is super cute, and I think you're right-- we definitely know what she's grumpy!

But the unevenness aside, whoever made her did a pretty great job (way better than I ever would!!)
