It's a ceramic or porcelien doll, the top of her hat is the pincushion, she has a place for a thimble and scissors...absolutely adorable and I love it! It was most likely a gift to her those many years ago...so it probably qualifies as the least expensive! ;)
I just love this thread, and love these answers. I am so glad I asked.
Stories like this make me feel so sappy. Your right, if sis had not thought about how happy this little doll/pincushion would have made you, it might have disappeared later on.
What a great story, charlee.:-D
