Once, there were two adorable Dutch salt-and-pepper children who loved to play outside. One day they stumbled across a needleworker’s work-in-progress:
They started looking around to see if anyone was watching them because they were afraid that their calf that had tagged long might have soiled that piece of expensive-looking linen:
But the kind needleworker told them “no harm done”, and was glad that they stopped by to visit! The end.
Thank you for stopping by today, my bloggy friends! I hope you have had a great day so far!!
Ha! Those Dutch sweeties look so mischievious! Hope your week is going well…
I think I have the twin brother and sister of these Dutch figures …. they are living in my cabinet, nicely behind glass doors so my 3 Y/O can not get her hands on to them….. I love everything that is DELFT ware. And colors blue & white go together perfect don’t you think? Oh btw, that whole-cloth quilt with the 3 era design you are making looks sooooooo marvelous to me! I wish I could do that too… but for now it is me trying to get to grip with the BSR…. lol
Hugs from the Netherlands

These things are darling.
Those little figurines are adorable! Very impish, I think.
Those adorable Dutch children do look a bit sheepish, like they’ve done something wrong! They are cute though. Love your lil’ story too!
I haven’t seen a platypus myself, even though it’s an Aussie mammal. They are usually active at night, I wasn’t sure about yours because of the colours, their fur is brown and their bill dark in real life. I wasn’t sure if it was a plush toy either, that was why I called it the “thingymagig”, hope you didn’t think I was ignorant, haha!
Beautiful!
what a cute story! I love blue and white, that Dutch boy and girl look like angels!
