BESSIE
& CORKIE
This
figurine was made to represent Martha's grandmother. Bessie, and
herself (nicknamed Corkie by her grandfather). When Martha was about
eight years old, her grandmother cut up her Aunt Nell's old green satin
evening gown and, using her treadle sewing machine, turned it into a
beautiful long housecoat just for Martha. She felt like a real
princess "playing house" in such an elegant outfit.
