Connie Conker and Tommy Tortoise by jackie
My mother made her granddaughter “Connie Conker” and “Tommy Tortoise”.

Connie was made from a large conker for the body and a smaller one for the head. Then a material hood and cape were glued on and matchsticks for arms and legs. Tommy was made similarly from a large acorn and a small acorn (with the end still on to serve as a hat). Likewise, matchsticks for legs. These had matchbox beds.
This memory was originally submitted to the BBC Memoryshare web service.
