Good evening to all! I was already to announce that I had two Premiere Jumeau Bleuette’s available for purchase but one sold before I got it up here on the website. In the photo below the brown eyed one is no longer available. They really did make a cute pair.

The one on the right with the brown eyes is made from the Seeley mold and the one on the left with the blue-grey eyes is made from the Collectible Doll Co. mold. The matching costumes were created by Sue Sharp of The Sharp Needle. Since the brown eyed one is no longer available I have listed only the blue-grey eyed one on the Dolls For Sale page here on my website.
