Santon Creche Figures

Now that the tea has been cleared away, Mimi and Bijou have set up the creche with Provencal santons, the "little saints" made of porcelain.  It is a tradition in many French homes, and, of course, we have a tradition of nativity scenes here in America, too.  Our scene features a new "stable" this year.  In the tradition of many Bleuette crafts published in La Semaine de Suzette, it is made from cardboard.

Mimi is a 27 cm. SFBJ 60 8/0 Bleuette, while Bijou is a taller Unis France 301-1 & 1/2.
