Goodbye Sailor!

​​Children can fashion and take home little peg dolls of a sailor and his sweetheart,
dressing them up in fitting costumes of C18th inspiration.
 Gifts traditionally made and exchanged between families for centuries, to keep
and remind loved ones that you are with them, in effigy, even if you are away.
A sentiment similar to a lock of hair or locket with miniature portrait.
Our thoughts are of sailors making such dollies; someone for the little ones to talk to and carry
around in their pockets, whilst their real daddies were at sea.
