Cats are good company and this family of felines is no exception. I originally stitched and stuffed this gyspy-like quartet to sit on a nursery shelf, but they have since provided hours of fun for little hands who like to dress and accessorize. While the dresses and aprons are sewn together, a basket holds several interchangeable shawls, collars, ribbons and hats that are merely attached with straight pins. (Luckily children are unaware of voodoo!) Even though their simple construction has a basic appeal and the old-fashioned clothing has a primitive elegance, I will admit I am surprised that little girls of today find these very uncontemporary playthings fascinating!
