HAPPY BIRTHDAY IZANNAH WALKER ~ 200 YEAR Bicentenial

On November 4th 1873 a patent was filed

and Izannah Walker became

the first woman to receive an U.S. patent !!

Her invention was a mold

that could produce a

very special doll!!

Betany Bounty, Patience Faithfully,

and Freedom Liberty

are planning a lovely picnic in her honor!

A perfect day and there were

many wild flowers to collect!

 And the table to be set for tea and lunch,

and some crafts were to be made!

Joyfully the girls worked in

anticipation of a sweet feast!!

Betany Bountiful

became a bit lonely

when she came to live,

so she got some dollies

But this was only a distraction

and she still felt lonely

and longed for a real baby sister!

Sweet little Baby Iddy~Pim

came and it made her very happy!!

Sometimes Betany got to babysit

sweet Noel a very special doll !

Then she found a Best Friend 

named Freedom Liberty

and this gave her much joy!!

 Molly Goat by Michi Ball

 They love to play and dream together !!

But soon Betany found out that she

had a cousin that was all the way from

Australia, she was beside herself!! 

Patience Faithfully came to live

and there was much joy,

and many things in common!!

Happiness indeed!

Mama Mildred and Missie 

want to wish a Happy Birthday

200 years to Izannah Walker

and thank her for paving the way for women!!

The Mousiekins enjoy visiting with the girls!!

There are other Dolls at the residence 

and Betany loves to socialize and 

reminisce about times past!
