Meet Accessories

Kirsten's meet accessories include her red and white checked sunbonnet, amber heart, spoon bag with spoon, red and white cross stitch handkerchief. Kirsten's sunbonnet is made from light weight cotton. The bonnet is gathered with elastic at the neck and has long ties to tie it under her chin. The brim extends pretty far over her face, so if you're taking pictures, it is hard to see her face. It is floppy enough to you can fold the brim over or push the bonnet back if you wish. Kirsten's amber heart is made from amber colored plastic (I think). It has a silky cord and metal clasp. It's very tiny and hard to open and close. My Kirsten has never worn it much.Kirsten's hankie is a 3" square of muslin with a red border of about 1/4" wide and blue cross stitching in the border. Her spoon bag is made from cotton and appliquéd with red and blue patches and embroidered in red and Swedish blue with her initials and date. It ties around her waist so she can carry her spoon with her wherever she goes. The spoon was originally made from real wood, but I can not vouch for the current version which I have not seen. It has a flat head and a rounded handle. It is very small and not sized to really give Kirsten much of a meal.

I like her accessories and think they are well made, but the only part I've ever really played with is her sunbonnet.
