Beautiful linen handkerchief made into a keepsake doll called a Church Babies doll was used long ago to entertain children during church services. If children became restless during church service, mom or the grandmother would pull out her handkerchief and tie it into a doll to entertain them. Since the handkerchief was soft it didn't make any noise if it dropped on the floor. Years later when the child would wed they would carry this handkerchief on their wedding day. The Church Babies doll soon became a treasured heirloom and the perfect religious gift for a new baby or child. Made to keep the traditional look of the days of old when the dolls were made by hand and to allow for a child's imagination to form the face, dolls of today are also made without a face.
This keepsake linen handkerchief doll is definitely a treasured gift. If given to a little girl she will keep it and carry it on her wedding day. If given to a little boy he can keep it and pass it to his bride for her to carry on their wedding day. Mother's and Grandmother's will embrace the memory of when their child was young, as they see their son or daughter use such a treasured gift. The Church Babies doll is beautifully packaged in a clear top gift box and includes a special poem that explains the history of giving and using this unique handkerchief doll. Your gift recipient will adore their heirloom present and cherish it forever!
