Bitty Bebe in a Box--Little Doll with Accessories

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 02:37:18 -0500

$50.00
Really, is there anything cuter than a little bitty bebe you can hold in the palm of your hand? In my world, sometimes the smaller something is, the sweeter it becomes--particularily when it is a little plush bebe.

This bebe also happens to come to with everything a bitty bebe needs to get by (all except for your love, of course)--its own little turquoise wool hat, a little wool felt bunny, a red fleece blankie, a bib with a birdie applique, a comfy button tufted red polka dot mattress, a terry cloth diaper, AND a little bitty quilted box in a woodland patchwork print to put her to sleep in. Sweet as all get out, loves to play, perfect for holding in the palm of your hand, deserving of your unconditional love.

This Bitty Bebe is an original Beeper Bebe design and is handmade from cotton muslin and all features are hand embroidered. It is made from a combo of new and reclaimed materials because here in the Beeper Bebe workshop, I like to find new uses for what is already out there to work with.

The bebe is approximately 3 inches in length and the head is about 3 inches wide. Due to the teeny nature of this toy and its accessories, it is not intended for children under the age of 3 years. While sturdily sewn, I do not think this bebe would like to be thrown in the washing machine (how terrifying!), so would recommend you only gently surface clean her with mild soap and a wet cloth.

This features a blue, purple, magenta and teal print, a lavendar terry cloth backing, and a the words "starving child" stamped onto a piece of muslin with fabric dye then sewn securely to the front. The neck closes with a velcro tab. It comes with a removeable cardstock tag that reads, "I used to be someone's unwanted bath towel."
