    It was a box series, either 3 or 4 books. About a young girl around the 1900s. I remember a few things... Like her wearing a hoop skirt to church and sitting down and the hoop flying over her head... And her trying to make skin cream with honey and something and it sticking to her face. Sound familiar to any one?

    Yes, it actually does sound familiar! I can see images in my head, but can't think of any names. Is that the one where she melts wax with the honey to get rid of her freckles?

    Thank you so much! I've been trying to remember for 3 days now and the more I searched and tried to remember, the crazier it was driving me!
