I heaved a sigh of relief when Emma arrived back home. I had been worried that she might not make it after what happened to famous travel doll Molly (see Molly's thread in the archives).

She made it - along with Jack and the Vicar Hawthyn (whose arm was tidily sewn into a sling).

She also arrived with the cutest and tiniest souvenirs and some lovely items to start her dowry with!!

She first went to consult with her own local Vicar:

And then attended a welcome home tea:

You can see several of her wonderful souvenirs on the table and cabinets surrounding her. In the bag is a miniature gouda cheese!!

The postcard album is adorable and contains little postcards of her actual visits!!

In this photo, you can see the vicar and Jack standing in the back (they didn't want to take any attention away from Emma's return):

Jack's traveling compartment containing the marvelous little items that came home with Emma:

Included was a tiny bag of sand and seashore shells from Jersey!!

Many many thanks to everyone who hosted Emma, and posted all the great photos.

It was a treat seeing your collections from a "doll's eye" point of view.

Thanks so much for taking part in this project - I had sooo much fun keeping up with the stories and pics.
