The gallery - girls

What ho,
 this week the gallery's topic is girls. It fits in fantastically with what i planned to blog today!

So here is my girl - All dressed up in her evacuee outfit - 1930's/40's girl
She had a great time a school yesterday, they had jelly and plain biscuits and plain cakes (she made sure i knew they were plain with no icing cos they didn't have that then!) and sandwiches, ham, cheese and jam (very excited about the jam she was! Then again she was also very excited about the real fabric hanky i put in her pocket!)

Her new dress and hair in a ribbon
with the hand knitted cardy (by grams) and label.
 
Ready to go out, complete with woolly leggings, hand knitted hat and scarf (couldn't find the matching mittens!), coat (a handy down) and her 'gas mask' (aka box in brown paper with string!)

She loves her dress so much she says she is wearing it to the school disco tomorrow!
 Winner!
