Some pretty 1920 hats!

Tante Marie shared this page from Sears Roebuck and Co from the 1920s Catalogue.

We love all the hats! We love hats. Maman isn't sure how to make these ones.

I wonder why little girls don't wear hats anymore?

They would sure be nice to wear to church!

A very pretty hankie dress.

Oh just look at this bee-ooo-ti-ful dress!

It is made by Tante Marie S.

She sews very neatly and quickly.

We all just love this dress which used to be a hankie.

This is Violet.

The garden swing.

Maman set up the garden swing.

Phoebe loves it a lot!

Zoe's new outfit.

Hi everyone! This is Zoe.

This is an older picture.

I was waiting for summer in my new outfit.

Maman bought it from Build a Bear. It was only $7.00!

I also had an ice cream and a pop.

We have now had nearly 6 weeks of fun summer time!

Love from Zoe.

A beautiful summer dress!

We just found this on eBay.

We cannot copy and paste the link. We don't know how!

But the seller's name is "mmarek2005".

We really love this pretty dress. Don't you?

Love from Helena

Something new and fun!

Hello everyone!

We haven't posted anything here for 3 whole months. Wow!

I wonder if you missed us?

Maman was very busy doing Family Tree things and travelling all over the countryside.

But we have two new sisters which were added to our family this year.

Fiona Barbie arrived on March 9th, and the new girl above came on April 15.

Her name is Anita. Marielle brought her home from France, but she has been very sick for a long time. She caught something on the cruise ship back and is finally up to taking pictures.

For the last week of July, the BSC challenge is a Pouting one where our Mamans must go out and shop so we stop pouting because we can't be at the UFDC convention in WA DC.

I will never ever forget when Maman and I went to convention in 2011!

Anyhow these are the items that Maman found the past few days.

Anita has a brand new dress made from a cute anchor print fabric.

She is sitting on a pretty carousel horse which was once a lamp.

She is holding a new umbrella to keep the sun off her fair complexion.

Two little frogs on in the pond. Part of the challenge was to find items which began with u, f, d, and c for UFDC. That was Tante Kimberly's idea. It was FUN for Maman to hunt for such things.

She was very surprised to find the carousel horse at a thrift store for only $7.99!

So this was a nice way to welcome Anita to our family.

Love from Yvette Marie   xoxoxo

Fun in France!

This is Zoe Marie, the winner of the pearl necklace from Paris!

She won the contest of trying to spot Marielle in the shopping arcade.

Zoe Marie said she loves her necklace so I am happy.

One evening before Evie and Juliette returned home to America, we all went out for a lovely dinner in a fancy restaurant in Paris. Isn't it gorgeous? Evie didn't get sick this time. Her tummy must have adjusted since she was here for 2 weeks. I get to stay here for a whole month. I just love it here.

A few days later I caught up with Emmy, my good friend from Canada.

Here we are by the Eiffel Tower. We loved touring on the Big Bus together.

We loved wearing our coats as it was a little chilly.

The sun came out as we posed by the French flag. I took my coat off because I was getting warm.

We had lunch at this little cafe near the Louvre.

After lunch we visited the Louvre. It has a very interesting entrance which looks like a pyramid!

Isn't this funny? Emmy didn't know what to make of it.

We loved all the old paintings. They are very beautiful.
