"Created by well-known children's book illustrator Ellen Segner in the early 1940s, Little Miss Sunbeam was actually drawn from life, based on a little blue-eyed blond girl Ellen saw playing in New York City's Washington Square Park. Based upon these drawings, Ms. Segner developed the original oil painting that became the Sunbeam trademark."
I only remember one other painting, the little girl eating buttered bread, so I was surprised to see this one and thought it very appropriate for this time of Thanksgiving, when stores are open all day and I fear our day of thankfulness may be forgotten in years to come.
Happy Thanksgiving to my blogging friends,
Charlotte
I had to get up from the computer to go read the Little Miss Sunbeam story on our loaf of bread...so sweet and, yes, so appropriate, I think.
ReplyDeleteQuite a story, thank you for sharing. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family. I am off to a good start, baked two frozen Marie Calendar pies and overcooked both of them. Will make some real pumpkin pies in the morning. All these aprons and I can't bake a frozen pie. Go figure!

ReplyDeleteThat's so cool! I had no idea that was even on the bread bag, even though that's the kind we almost always buy. Just goes to show how we ignore so many little details in life, doesn't it.
