Beatrice is a
lop bunny with soft
brown eyes, large floppy ears, a wiggly nose, and big feet perfect for
hopping
about. She is known far and wide for her sweetness.
|
 |
One day,
after Beatrice had just
been to the Bunny Boutique to buy a new outfit, she happened to pass by
the
Bunny Baubles store, which is also in the bunny shopping district.
There in the
window, looking pleadingly up at her, was a beautiful baby bunny doll
in a
green dress.
|

|
Unable
to resist, Beatrice brought
her home that very day, and named her Beulah. She had a special pocket
for
Beulah sewn into each of her dresses, as bunnies aren’t very good at
carrying
dolls.
|

|
Beatrice and
Beulah don’t have tea
parties, but Beatrice tosses up fresh endive, romaine lettuce, parsley,
and
cilantro for wonderful salad parties.
|
 |
All
the neighborhood bunnies hope
to get an invitation, and Beatrice tries very hard not to overlook
anyone.
|
 |
Beatrice and
Beulah are original
one-of-a-kind works of art, created from our own pattern and design.
Beatrice
is made from 100% cotton fabric which has been sewn, stuffed, and
completely
hand painted with acrylic paints. Beulah is sculpted entirely from
paperclay and
painted with acrylic paints. Beatrice is 12 ½ inches tall, and Beulah
is 2 ¾
inches tall.
|
 |
Beatrice’s
big feet have
needle-sculpted toes, and her paws are button-jointed with
antique-looking
buttons of filigreed silver on black, so she can easily pose. Her face
is
sculpted from paperclay smoothed into her fabric head, and her whiskers
are
made from stiffened cotton thread. She has a soft fluffy tail made from
yarn.
|
 |
Beatrice can
be propped on a shelf
or a table, or in a cabinet. She can also sit in a chair or stand with
a doll
stand. (Chair and doll stand not included.) Beatrice and Beulah are
meant for
display only.
|
 |
Beatrice
wears a pretty pale
yellow blouse with a scalloped neckline, sleeves, and hem. Painted
purple
flowers on the front of her blouse match the flowers in her skirt. Her
bunny
bloomers are painted ivory.
|
 |
Beatrice’s
charming country
pinafore has a pale yellow skirt with a pattern of purple flowers and
soft
green leaves. The apron with straps that cross in the back is also soft
yellow,
and edged with off-white lace. The big patch pocket meant for
transporting
little Beulah is edged in green satin with darker green patterns of
decorative
stitching. A little green heart is hand appliquéd onto the pocket.
|
 |
Beulah’s tiny
green dress has
puffy sleeves with a white collar. Her white bloomers show from under
her pink
petticoats. A delicate pattern of pink flowers is painted around the
bottom of
her dress.
|
 |
Beatrice and
Beulah are signed and
dated, and sealed with matte varnish for protection and preservation.
|
 |
Many
hours go into the making of
each of our dolls. We strongly believe in fine craftsmanship and
artistry,
and we pay great attention to small details. Each doll is a
unique work of
art, and we are able to produce them in only a very limited number. We
do our best
to create little dolls with big personalities because that is what we
love to
do.
