Homestead Emporium ‘pacifier blanket’,
the Poppetjie

Homestead Emporium's Poppetjie (Poppie) blankies are
aprox. 12 inches square in size.

To fasten your pacifier to the Poppetjie, simply put the ribbon loop into the pacifier handle, and pull the pacifier through!

This Poppetjie has been created with super soft
Hand Dyed bamboo velour on one side
& cute cotton knit print fabric on the other side.

How did the name Poppetjie come about?
While researching the history of the pacifier, we found some interesting information that ties in with HomesteadMama’s own history.
Of Dutch descent, we found it very interesting that the Afrikaner mothers of the 19th century (a people descended from European settlers, including the Dutch) had used rags with sponge cake (suikerbrood) tied into them. This was used to keep the baby ‘pacified’.
This blanket was called a Poppetjie!

While I’m sure we can all agree that sponge cake is not healthy for a baby
(we’ve come a long way in history!) we hope our new pacifier blankie,
the Poppetjie, will be well received by parents, and babies alike!

Just the right size for your little one to snuggle,
and keep that pacifier right where you can see it!
No more feeling around in the dark for that small lost pacifier,
with Homestead Emporium's Poppetjie blanket, it will be an easy find!
