Poppets, Wednesday, 27 May, 2009:

Shortly after my brother died in January, my daughter made and sent me the above 'poppet.' It's about six inches tall, soft and squishy.  My granddaughter helped make it and made the note attached.  I'm not sure which is cuter, the poppet or the note.  I don't collect dolls, don't have any other dolls, and only ever had one doll when I was young, but I was surprised how much comfort this one brought/brings. Send someone a poppet today?
