Lavender Clothespin Angel

Scottish and American gypsies in the 16th century used wooden pegs or clothespins to make dolls.  They used bits of leftover fabrics and ribbons to dress them.   Angel dolls go back for centuries and from various countries.  The crocheted angel is a lovely way to pay homage to the dolls made and collected over the years.
Lavender Clothespin Angel is an ornament that should bring back some of these old memories.

-hang from the Christmas tree or year round as a sweet ornament
-give as gift by adding to the outside of a present, or have her waiting inside!
-decorate by hanging from a car mirror or picture of loved one
-makes a perfect wedding or shower favor
-she would be happy to keep watch in the baby's room

She was crocheted with love and care and can be considered an heirloom that can be reused for generations.
