Some modifications were made to the Meet Accessories while this version was in production, including replacing real gourds with plastic ones. This set was retired in August 2014 and replaced with the BeForever version, which coordinated with Addy's new BeForever Meet Outfit.
When Addy and Momma escaped to freedom, they could only take a few possessions with them. Use Addy's kerchief to make a bundle for her to carry. Tuck her water gourd and the half dime from Uncle Solomon inside—it’s only money she and Momma had. Tie the calico ribbon of her straw bonnet beneath her chin. Then, most important, hang the cowrie shell around Addy’s neck. It belonged to her great-grandmother, who brought it all the way from Africa, and it’s Addy’s most precious treasure.
Later description (after some authentic items had been replaced): When Addy and Momma decide to escape to freedom in Philadelphia, they have to carry everything they want to keep. This set includes all of Addy's most prized possessions: A straw bonnet with a blue calico ribbon to tie beneath her chin. A faux cowrie shell necklace to hang around her neck—it belonged to her great-grandmother, who brought it from Africa. A faux water gourd with a replica half dime from Uncle Solomon inside—the only money she and Momma have. A kerchief to make a bundle for her to carry.
Addys' meet accessories include a straw bonnet with a blue fabric trim and tie, a real cowrie shell necklace on an adjustable leather cord, a water gourd, a fabric square to bundle everything up in, and a half dime coin.
My Addy's gourd is plastic due to a gourd crop failure in the early 90's that required AG to switch from real gourds to plastic gourds (urban myth?) The plastic brown stopper in the gourd came with an accessory lot I purchased last year. My Addy's gourd did not come with one.
