One day I was in a Habitat for Humanity store and saw this incredibly detailed paddleboat. It needed a few repairs, but it was utterly charming.

The three decks had handmade railings.
|
 |
| The adorable dolls were made of stockinette and had detailed clothing and facial features. |
 |
| The bow of the boat was missing its railing but featured a band. |
 |
| The band members had crocheted clothing and wooden instruments. They were so well done |
 |
| A couple of elegant lady passengers are enjoying the view from the top deck |
 |
| The boat was up for auction and no, I didn't take it home. I wonder who did. |
It's fantastic! The detail on the boat and dolls is amazing. Thanks for sharing it. I do hope it went to a good home :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks Rebecca. I thought it was so well done and cute I couldn't resist sharing.
ReplyDelete"utterly charming" is a great description for this awesome paddleboat! Wouldn't we love to know the history behind it.
ReplyDeleteYes, I would love to know its history. Someone put lot of work into it. I sometimes wish I had brought it home.
