The Hitty Doll is a much loved favourite of doll collectors. Our Hitty is a faithful reproduction of the treasured antique doll and her friends Hattie and Louie are our original creations. Hittie and Hattie will be the souvenir dolls at one of the luncheon events and Louie the Jazz Player will be offered as the companion doll at the event! Be a part of the celebration of the Dolls of Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow and enjoy a full week of exciting programs, seminars, workshops, and meal events! Each doll stands 6.5 inches tall and is carved out of maple with wooden pegged arms and legs. These lovely ladies, dressed in charming printed cotton and traditional Mardi Gras beaded necklaces are ready for the New Orleans summer celebrations. Our dapper jazz man Louie is dressed in cotton slacks with suspenders, a classy bowtie and holds his prized metal saxophone for tonight's show at the club!

If you're lucky enough to attend the convention and receive your very own Hitty, Hattie or Louie, be sure to register your doll on our Doll Registry page.
A Little Hitty History
Hitty (short for Mehitabel) is a tiny wooden doll found by author Rachel Field in a New York City antique shop in the winter of 1927. The original Hitty doll was carved from mountain ash wood, about 6½ inches tall, with pegged arms and legs, each pair moving together, but no one knows by whom. The original Hitty is on display in the The Historic Room at the Stockbridge Library Museum, in Stockbridge, Massachusetts.
