I had a blanket there for about 6 months.... well, not one of mine, but one I found going through my mother's things after she died. A small baby embroideried with sunbonnet sues. Mama's name: Louisa Ann Conner. Her Grandmother's name, Louisa Ann Conner. I actually threw it into the "dump" pile, thinking it was a rag, but felt something in it. Another thrill, it was a home-made doll, the kind Mama made us girls during the war. Absolutely beautiful! But, apparently it was made right before the war was over and she put it aside and got us dolls from Montgonery Ward catalog (our commercial source). I loved my homemade dolls, each one absolutely different, and each with a wardrobe of several outfits. La Conner is a great place to spend a day, and if you wander about the area you'll find Native American artist too, across from La Conner. [Sorry about all this... but it's my only claim to fame!) :>) She was an upstanding, very moral woman.
