*Sitting on top of an old box in pride of place is a most wonderful and authentic tiny 1920s doll called “Sarah”, fully aged and looking rather beautiful, which has been especially created and donated by Sandra Morris of Diminutive Dolls. “Sarah” has been sitting up in the loft for a very long time, and was “Florrie’s” much cherished doll.
*A gorgeous old fashioned china nursery plate, donated by Karen and Peter of Stokesay Ware has been placed in such a way that it looks like it has just been unwrapped from old newspaper.
