A young girl might get a faceless doll and be absolutely grateful for getting anything at all. Such items were hand made from older tattered and worn items that found a new purpose. Decorating your home with these items can give you a sense of times gone by and bring back wonderful memories of grandparents and great grandparents. As you journey into the world of primitive country décor and learn more and more about how easy and inexpensive this style can be to create, remember it's the simple things in life that bring the most joy.
