Poppet is a term of endearment for "dear little one," so it was commonly used to refer to cherished little dolls (now it also refers to voodoo dolls, but we won't go there for now). A moppet, according to a book on 18th century fashion I picked up in Williamsburg last summer, was the name given to the fashion dolls used by milliners (dressmakers, not hatmakers, at that time). I read somewhere that, because it was of the utmost importance that the queen be apprised of the latest fashions, the courier who carried her moppet was given special dispensation that allowed him to cross, unmolested, even battle lines. My poppet who wanted to be a moppet has decided she must be the queen's moppet. Thus, she has been dressed in silk with a fancy hat. Her name is Mariah Regina. Pictures soon, I promise (she still has no shoes).<BR/><BR/>NinaShadow & Lighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02314764583413692690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3640810635567117529.post-42159215407350389882008-05-14T09:29:00.001-04:002008-05-14T09:29:00.001-04:00p.s.
