She was sent as a gift to a pre-teen girl who'd first fallen in love with the (work in progress) Fairy Godmother doll when she was just six years old. This young girl was a magical child, unforgettable. We only met the one time but shared a brief, intermittent exchange of letters regarding the Fairy Godmother doll, until six years later I again had news of her from her auntie.
The Fairy Godmother doll had since been completed and given to one of my nieces. I had always regretted not immediately giving the unfinished doll to the six-year old niece of my friend. So, years later when I heard again from her, the Rose doll was at hand to send, inspiring the realization that these flower dolls, off-springs of the Menopause Faeries, were equally significant symbols for female rites of passage!
This doll was the first of the Flower Dolls.
