...Exploring West Virginia...the Craik-Patton House...Five...

...now on to the adjoining Nursery...

...a small bed...with some period clothes laid out...

...a white dress and petticoats...I'm always amazed at how much white they wore...I always think it would be difficult to keep clean...

...a china doll in a toy cradle...

...little shoes...our tour guide told us that to make it easier for the children to put the shoes on they're cut the same...i.e., no left or right...

...a doll sized table chair and cabinet...with some crockery too...

...another pretty china doll showing us her petticoats...

...our tour guide also told us that little girls were expected to stitch their first sampler by age 7...this little girl (Sarah Thomas) managed to stitch hers in her 7th year 1829...

...another cradle with some cloth dolls and a cute little quilt...

...a tiny tea set on the mantle...and the wallpaper is the same as in the adjoining master bedroom...

...what a sweet room...I think the children living here were very lucky indeed...

~Have a lovely day!
