This little blue house was mine when I was a little girl. (in the 60's) My parents bought the velvet Blue Bear and Brown Bear when I was 2 or 3 years old. A few years later my Mom made Blue Mouse for me. And as I learned to sew by hand, I made Orange Bear and White Bear myself.
My 3 sisters each had their own little Bear, Mice and Cat families and we would play for hours, wrapped up in a world of make believe.
To this day, when we sisters travel, some of the critters go with us. Last summer I met up with one of my sisters at a doll convention. Guess who came along? Blue Bear and Red Rat. (My sister's Red Rat got too close to a light bulb once and suffered burns to his knee, but he still manages to hobble along.)
They came with us:
to breakfast,
to the antique store, (this is the resident cat)
to the rare and used book store, (this is a cool old cash register)
and to the sweet shop.
