Friar Henry

Dear Diary,

I dragged out my suitcase to start thinking about packing and of course Henry wanted to know our itinerary so he could pack suitable clothes, fashionista that he is.  When I told him we would visit a few old abbeys he insisted that I make him a wee monk's robe...Franciscan of course.  So here is Friar Henry complete with his illuminated mouse-uscripe and the bell for ringing the hours.  He is a stickler for detail!

I dug around in my sewing box and found some tiny snaps that I'm sure my mom had used when she used to sew doll clothes for me.  (They are really old!)  I think she would approve their use for Henry's robe!  It pays not to throw anything away!  They finally got some use over 60 years later!
