These lovers stood upon my grandmother's sideboard and my mother loved them. She called them "Oh, Don't". I didn't remember them and thought the name curious but then again all families are curious at some time or another so I didn't give it much thought. Much later after
granny had died and the house had been cleaned out and sold mother wanted to know where "Oh, Don't" was and I happened to mention it to my cousin, Sandy. Later he came bringing me a box which I opened and there they were! Plus the answer to the name--on the base is inscribed "Oh, Don't!" The demur little peasant woman is a hesitant lover!
I remember those two lovers but never noticed the "Oh Don't" on the base. What a neat story! Can't wait to see it again soon.
