TPD (Toilet Paper Debutante)

When I was a little girl, I would spend a lot of time in my great grandmother's bathroom. No, not because I had bowel issues. My Nana Blanche had a bunch of cool stuff in her powder room. She had a sign that said, "Don't sit here all day, there' work to be done!" and another that read, "Having troubles? Tried prunes?" She had a seat in the shower, which I thought was neat. Sitting was fun. Showering was fun. Sitting while you showered...brilliant.



But my favorite thing in my Nana's loo was the pretty toilet paper debutante. It was a plastic fashion doll with a flamboyant hat. Her hand knit wool dress hid an extra roll of toilet paper beneath it. What an excellent way for the small dress to maintain a billowed look and to keep some extra TP on hand! I'm all for adorable decor that prevents you from being stranded on the crapper.



I decided to make a couple of these for friends as housewarming gifts. I punk rawk'd it a bit. Nana B's looked more like a 'Little House on the Prairie,' type, whereas mine seem less wholesome...just like me!
