Does anyone remember a character with a huge bonnet that totally covered her face except for nose and mouth?

Question

She definitely featured on merchandise but not sure if she was in books as well. She was dressed in old-fashioned clothes, hence the bonnet, and may have been called Victoria, but I'm not sure about that. Also I seem to remember her on a garden swing and in another picture tending flowers.

If this rings a bell and anyone could help me out with a name I'd be I'd be really grateful.

Answer 6

Sounds like Victoria Plum!  Although her hat was a BIG flower!

Answer 7

I think Minki and Man Magnet are right.  I remember them because a girlfriend in the late 1970's had a thing for the Holly Hobby stuff.  IIRC, in addition to prints, figurines and other dust catchers, she was featured in a number or children's books.
