Greetings, dear friends. Have you ever heard of Frozen Charlotte? I had not until I read that Bobbie bought a Frozen Charlotte necklace at the Holly Hills primitive show in March. You can see hers here.
Here is a synopsis found on Wikipedia.
Frozen Charlotte is a name used to describe a specific form of china doll made from c. 1850 to c. 1920. The name comes from the American Folk Ballad Fair Charlotte, which tells of a young girl called Charlotte who refused to wrap up warmly to go on a sleigh ride because she did not want to cover up her pretty dress. She froze to death during the journey.
Just a bit macabre, don'tcha think?

A Google search finds a plethora of information on Charlotte and her male counterpart, Frozen Charlie.
Bobbie brought one Frozen Charlotte necklace to From Our Hands, and I knew it had to come home with me. Made with an antique Charlotte and vintage heart, I just love her.
Friend Melissa comes up with the best ideas. This little pendant is made with antique paisley and vintage buttons. Isn't it sweet?
I am in a creative slump :( I could hook on Daisy . . . or start a new project . . . or get busy on my Rebekah L. Smith mystery stitch along (that I cannot share) since I am now three months behind, but I just am not motivated to do anything. I'm still not out doing yard work since the weather is not cooperating. {{Sigh}} I hope this passes quickly.
Thanks so much for stopping by.
Pug hugs :)
