Mormeltje ,beloved since the 60ties (1900)

A while ago i was at the 2nd hand store in our village and in a trunk filled up with nowadays pluche i immediately recognized her ...... MORMELTJE .

She brought me way back in my memories ,i think 45 years ago !

Mormel was a design of a knitted troll and placed in the long gone magazine Prinses (Dutch ) .

Each 14 days there has been added a new pattern for making her clothes .

OOOO ,how i loved her but.... never got one .

My both grandmothers ,always knitting socks ,didn t feel the need to surprise me with this little creature .

My best girlfriend got one on her birthday and growing up in a family of 13 children she was able to share easely ,lucky me !

We played with Mormel ,made a bed for her and telling her stories ,a very lovely memory .

I never forgot Mormel and i tried to find her pattern when i had my own children but ...no succes.

Now .... i got her pattern ,received from a dear friend who is born in the same year as me and we share the love for Mormel .

The old Mormel i got for 10 cent but her value for me is un payable
