 Bleuette was a French
child fashion doll who was the companion of little girls in France from 1905
to 1960.
Bleuette and her wardrobe were
found in a girl's magazine, La Semaine de Suzette, or Suzette's Week, which
was designed to help little girls become good wives and mothers.
La Semaine de Suzette contained
stories, games, etiquette advice, recipes, and, most important, patterns for
her wardrobe, for a period of over 55 years.
Elaine has reproduced this
adorable Bleuette using photos of the antique as her guide.

This book is the second
publication dedicated to creating darling toys, a candy store, a wooden
trunk to hold Bleu, vintage valentines in a box, luggage labels, and items
to fill a French toy basket called a "Hotte" typically worn on the back of
a child at Christmastime. Of course, Bleuette had to have one too. We have
used many of our new little molds to fill the basket plus paper items from
this workbook and Global's miniatures called Toyland.
Price: $35.00 ($5
