Gracie - likes hot, weak tea and a nice custard cream. Sits on park benches in the sun, sucking on Mint Imperials and disapproving of the younger generation.
On Wednesday afternoons she meets up with a few like minded friends for a game of Bridge and a gossip - but she always gets home in time for 'East Enders'.
Is a close relation of Dolores, who jetted off to live in America. Gracie is staying firmly put in the good old UK. They will exchange spider-writing letters on thin, shiny paper, because naturally, neither of them approves of the internet.
Hello Gretel,
ReplyDeleteSo I should be checking the post for letters from Gracie?????
Gracie, despite her grumpy grin, is beautiful. She is welcomed to visit Dolores anytime.

How lovely that Janet sent you a picture of Dolores in her new home! I love it when customers do that. :) I very much approve of Gracie's colour choice!xx
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty sure Gracie and Dolores would both tut a little if they were to meet Florence..... such a boisterous girl!
ReplyDeleteReally lovely character, I love it when toys have a story!
ReplyDeleteLOL. What a haughty girl with her nose stuck up in the air like that. So cute.

Is she a member of the W.I.? I think she would enjoy it!!
ReplyDeletemmmmm, sounds like another book . . .
ReplyDeleteWhat a character! She's wonderful. :)
ReplyDeleteI love the position her legs take because of her shape, and the way her toes curl inwards. Wonderful!
ReplyDeleteIf I could figure out how to play bridge...I'd fit right in with the gals......
ReplyDeleteHot weak tea and a nice custard cream - my favorite refreshment!
ReplyDeleteGracie is perfect. Could there be another book shaping up from these well-knit characters?
Gracie is a girl after me own heart........comfy slippers and knitting and a devil may care air about her!
