Happy Easter from Betsy McCall and Blue Bear



Miss Betsy McCall wants to show you the pretty ruffled dress 
she plans to wear on Easter Sunday.
She would have modeled her bunny suit, too, 
but her friend needed to borrow it today.



Oh.... here comes the Easter Bunny (aka Mr. Blue Bear) now,
with a basket full of eggs for all the mice and bears who reside in the Little Blue House.
What a good natured bear, to dress up like a bunny for his children.

Happy Easter everyone!

(My sister found the 8" Betsy McCall made by the Tonner Doll Company 
at a doll convention she attended a few years ago.)

    She is beautiful! I can remember the paper dolls very well but I've never seen an actual doll before. I love her dress. The bunny suit also looks very cuddly on Blue Bear.

    I think my Mom's arrival of her McCall's magazine is one of my earliest memories. We would turn to the Betsy McCall page and read the picture story when I was 4 years old.

    I remember Betsy McCall. I had Ginny and Jill dolls and instead of Betsy, and had the best time with them. Learned to sew to make them clothes. Betsy looks so pretty in her Easter finery.

    Gayle, that Betsy McCall doll is absolutely precious. Why is it that they don't make dolls like that anymore? :( Love the little ruffled dress she is wearing also.

    Happy Easter week to you, my friend! xo

    Oh what a pretty doll. When I was a little girl she would have been one I would have loved. I always wanted dolls with dark here and all shades of purple have always been my favorite. So pretty. Have a Happy Easter! :)

    What a cute post! I too loved Betsy McCall when I was young. My grandma Patta would save me the pages with the paper dolls. It brings back such sweet memories.
