The Sailboat from Marseille 6. sailboat plush

Description

On his noisy moped Petit Pierre made his way to the port of Marseille and got a job in a fish factory, where the gruff manager had him prying the scales off deep-sea monsters caught with golden nets. (Soup made from these scales was the new fashionable energy drink amongst the salarymen of Japan.) Three Tuesdays after he arrived, he met a a slimy black octopus thingy with kind eyes and very long lashes who, with his dying breath, told Petit Pierre of an island not too far away where only the pure of heart can gain entry. The very next day he exchanged his moped for a sailboat and, after stocking up on baguettes and goat cheese, he was on his way. Petit Pierre was never heard from again.

All my Petit Pierre sailboats are made partly from recycled material. This one is made from one of the back pockets of a very old pair of black jeans. And yes, it's a pirate sailboat--the cutest one ever to sail the high seas!

The sailboat lists, meaning one side is higher than the other, as it prepares to battle the ocean waves.

Other materials used are gingham and white cotton. The details are hand-embroidered.

While this sailboat is sturdy, it is not meant as a toy. It will, however, be perfect on a table or on a shelf to decorate a little boy's room.

The boat body is about 6.75 inches or 17.1 cm. long. The entire sailboat is about 5.75 inches or 14.6 cm. high. It is stuffed with polyfill.

This plush toy will come to you wrapped in a repurposed cloth bag and the fairytale above printed out on an attached card.

** This is a one-of-a-kind item! While I make other sailboats, I always use different styles and fabrics. **
