What is new?

Hello everyone! Maman is very busy with her studies.
She has a big exam coming up in one week.
We have a Christmas tree up at the Bleu Manoir.
There are pretty lights on it.
We will decorate it very soon.
Mammon's big computer broke an it is in the repair shop being fixed.
I don't know how to fix my spelling mistakes on the iPad.
So I will say good bye for now.
Love from Yvette Marie. Xoxoxo

11 11 11 on the 11th day of the 11th month at the 11th hour!

Maman has borrowed this photo from Tante Peggy who made it.

I do so wish Maman would make one just like it for me!

Maman is buried in WWI research right now.

She has forgotten all about sewing. But it is so exciting!

You can read about what she is discovering on her blog at House of Houben.

The outfit above was sold by GL from 1915 to 1917.

This is the era that Maman is studying. Her great Uncle William Williams died when he was only 19 in Greece on Feb 22, 1917. He was fighting with the Royal Welch Fusiliers.

That's why I'd love to have this uniform.

Our 100th post and Happy Halloween!

This is our 100th post!

Isn't that amazing?

I, Yvette Marie, have been the main poster here.

I love to tell about our life and adventures at the Bleu Manoir.

Maman helped us do a Halloween story.

You can read all about it on the main blog that Maman writes.

These are just a few pictures.

Maman has a new hobby.

It's called knitting.

She made the scarf hanging in our room up above.

We think the colours are pretty!

This picture is by Tante Donna.

We just love the costumes her Bleus are wearing!

This is our friend Emmy.

She lives with Tante Linda.

We really like her pretty dress!

This is a most gorgeous display!

We don't know who took the photo.

This photo is by Tante Laurie.

She made the very pretty dresses.

I just LOVE the black one!

This is Tante Jane's photo.

Maman says this is her most favourite photo of all.

We don't know who took this photo either.

Maman loves Halloween costumes.

Tante Robin made this dress.

It's soooo bee-ooo-ti-ful!

This photo and dress is by Tante Kathy.

Isn't it pretty?

And this photo is by Tante Vanessa at the Fanciful Twist blog.

Maman likes her blog very much.

This is an old picture.

Right now it's very windy outside. We hope many trick or treaters come to the door.

Maman made them all some little ghosts.

Happy Halloween!

Tee hee...

When things are bad and getting worse, keep a cookie in your purse!

It's autumn!

This is me. Zoe in the garden.

This picture was taken last year.

The pumpkins are beginning to come out in the stores now.

Maybe Maman will buy some more this year.

I love pumpkins!

I wonder where that dress went. It must be in my trunk.

Maman is neglecting us. She has bought another Big Girl.

This Girl is Very Big. Her name is Ruthie.

Love from Zoe.

An autumn Bleuette tea!

On September 15 2011 we had the second Bleuette teatime of the year.

But it was Robinette's first one!

Here is Maman and Tante Isabelle.

The tea table looked really nice!

Here is Tante Linda with Tante Isabelle and Kelsie the dog.

Here we all are!

We had a fine time onboard the good ship Amitie!

Ada Mathilda is playing darts with us.

Ada Mathilda scored the bullseye!

My new friend gave me some gorgeous batiste for Maman to sew.

It was a great way to spend the afternoon!



Robinette's latest adventure...

At the wooden boat festival on Granville Island, August 25, 2011.
