This is  an Original Grandma Broom Vacuum Cleaner Cover, however, without a sculpted face.

Not only can she fit any vacuum cleaner, she can sit in a rocker and greet your guests.  She can even ride in the car while you are in the carpool lane!

She is wearing a red and cream homespun check dress with an osnaburg prairie bonnet and apron, but you can request other colors for the dress - just leave a note with your payment or email me ahead of time.

 According to Wikipedia..."There are several accounts of the origins of faceless dolls used by Amish children. One account says that a young Amish girl was given a rag doll with a face for Christmas. Her father became upset and cut the head off the doll. He reportedly said "Only God can make people." He then replaced the head with a stuffed stocking that did not have a face. The little girl played happily with the doll for many years. Some Amish children have wrapped blankets around small logs and pretended they were dolls. A sociological study from 2007 says that the dolls are left faceless because "all are alike in the eyes of God", and that the lack of facial features agrees with the Bible's commandment against graven images. " 
  
This particular Grandmas is a "newborn" just completed this month.  (Each is signed and dated).  

She is wearing a wooden heart saying
"Welcome ", but the heart can be changed to fit your needs.  Grandma can sit in a rocker, be a passenger in your carpool or cover any conventional vacuum cleaner.  She loves to be a greeter! You may have seen one of her sisters greeting patrons in a restaurant and customers entering a gift shop. This one would be happy to "man" her post on your front porch or in the foyer. 
 She is 4' 3" tall.  Each Grandma is handmade by me, the creator of the Original Grandma Broom  If you are interested in other vacuum cleaner covers in different fabrics, check our other listings and the fabric section for more choices.

If you know of someone who would delight in receiving her as a special gift, I would be happy to send directly to the recipient with a gift card enclosed per your instructions. 

Perhaps, the "Shhh...I'm hiding from my grandchildren!" wooden heart does not fit in her new soon-to-be home.  A different heart can be created just for them.  Some of the most requested are "I kiss better than I cook!", "Grandma's Busy...Take a Cookie!", "Welcome Friends", "This is no ordinary housewife you are dealing with!", "I'm not fat, I'm fluffy!", "Women who behave seldom make history.". As you can see, Grandma's attitude is "right out there"!  I am sure you or your recipient have ideas of your own so just let them flow and the appropriate heart will be pinned to her apron.  If you can't decide, just tell me to surprise you!

 Thanks so much for shopping!
