Doll-A-Day 2023 # 175: A Pair of Mice from Haworth

   If you read today's Grand Tour post, you will have seen that we went to Haworth while we were in England. It's a small village in the Pennines in the West Riding of Yorkshire. It was home to the Bronte family, which included sisters Emily, author of "Wuthering Heights", (and nothing else. Talk about your one hit wonders.), Charlotte, who wrote "Jane Eyre", and Ann, author of "The Tenant of Wildfell Hall", and their sometimes artist brother Branwell.

  While we were there, shopping the pretty little shops, I bought these mice. I never could resist cute mice.

The little white mouse is felted, and sold by a company called Shoeless Joe.

The lady mouse isn't hand made or felted, but she is cute.

She's a 'Norse Mice standing', made by Shudehill.

  They're both about 4 or 5 inches tall. They were in the bag they were put in at the shop, in a small plastic tub with the lid mostly off, in our bedroom. The one side of the tub got a bit sooty, but the mice survived unscathed.

  Those are the dolls for today. See you again tomorrow.
