Why the difficulty in finding an Easter bonnet this year? Wasn't there even a song about an Easter bonnet?It isn't every day when someone in Acorn Hill wants an Easter bonnet, but this year Autumn Fern really liked the idea of owning one. Unfortunately, a bonnet,- aka, pretty, white straw hat with flowers and ribbons or the like was not easily found.
Main House First Lady Mom was resolved to the fact that Fern would not have one. On Easter morning Sarah Daffodil said, "Mom, come here." Daffodil revealed a delicate and pretty wreath that she had made for Fern's delicate and pretty head.
"It wasn't easy measuring her head," said Daffodil. "She kept on moving." Fern was sleeping while the measuring took place. Daffodil braided raffia with tulle and ribbon. She added artificial flowers that she pulled off of her pens, (Refer to Pretty Pens in the AHP archive.)
Mom is thankful that stores don't dictate what the citizens of Acorn Hill do and wear.
