This page will be a Who's Who of the Hittys at Rose Cottage.  Alongside each Bio will also be a photograph.

Hitty Patience :  Arrived 6th August 2012  Gustav Trulet Hitty from Argentina (Hand painted and finished by me)

Hitty Patience is the author of this blog, is very patient as her name implies and works hard to welcome all newcomers and friends.

Hitty Ethel is the seamstress of the family.

Hitty Moana Kauri:  Arrived 24th August 2012, formerly Hitty Kauri carved by Bruce & Fung Hicks from USA.

Hitty Moana is rather special to me being carved from New Zealand Kauri - she is a link to 'home'.








Hitty Carol Faith - Arrived 31st August 2012, fully ball-joined Hitty carved by Wanda Harrigan from USA.


This Hitty is the 'Diva' of the family.  She can be prone to histrionics and fainting fits and is very expressive with her hands.

She has also become one of the resident 'witches' in more recent years.
