A Sunbonnet Card


I made this card after reading a book about one of my favorite childhood authors. This is a template card of a sunbonnet such as Laura Ingalls Wilder might have worn as a girl. Recently I wrote a short biography about Laura for my history blog as she lived in Missouri and Kansas too. I don't know who the rubber stamps are made by as they were given to me, unmounted, by a girlfriend and she doesn't remember where she bought them. As a sidenote, in 1915, Laura and Almanzo owned a dog named "Inky."

Here's a link to Laura Ingalls Wilder's biography on my History Nut blog.
