LAFAYETTE, La. (AP) Colastie Hebert LeBlanc, known as Tante Colastie by family and friends, was one of the few women still making brown cotton trousseau a dowry for new brides. But she had 108 blankets.
When asked to sell one of her blankets LeBlanc responded with, “Oh no! Madamoiselle! I can’t let you have any of those. I have made them for my children.”
But with so many extra blankets, people were confused with how many children she had.
“Nine,” she would tell them. “I have completed my supply, that is one dozen for each. Now I’ll be able to make blankets for others and my friends who need them.”
