Return to the Garden Spot


After a 4-year-hiatus, I have returned to this blog. Since I didn't stop collecting Hitty in that time, I hope to have plenty to write about. If all I did was introduce you to all the residents of the Garden Spot, that would take up most of the year! I do hope to post once a week to converse with the universe about all things Hitty.

Since starting this blog, my collection has expanded to more than 30 Hittys, I started carving Hittys (for my own pleasure, since I don't think they up to sellable standards yet) and I have become unemployed. So while I prepare for a new career, I plan to keep Hitty at my side for those days when I need her charming companionship.

Please, too, let me introduce you to Hitty Martha Washington Brown, who joined the family in 2004 at the Friends of Hitty 10th Anniversary Convention in Williamsburg, Va. She has several lovely colonial costumes but asked to wear this Valentine's Day dress to convey her feelings to the many collectors of Hitty. "Thank you," she says, "for cherishing me and my sisters and keeping our Ancestor and her story alive."
