Kirsten's Meet Accessories were released in 1986 and retired with archival in 2010. Later sold as part of 35th Anniversary Edition Kirsten, released and retired in 2021.
Tuck her embroidered hankie in her apron pocket and tie her spoon bag around her waist. It comes complete with a wooden spoon. Swedish farmers had just enough knives, spoons, and forks for their own families. When they went to feasts or celebrations, they took their own eating utensils with them in a spoon bag. Tie Kirsten’s red-checked sunbonnet on her head and hang the amber-colored heart around her neck. It’s Kirsten’s keepsake given to her by her grandmother before she left for America.
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 The spoon was originally made from real wood, but I can not vouch for the current version which I have not seen.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.
