Learn About New Orleans in the 1800's And Have A Great Adventure With Marie-Grace and Cecile!

The Haunted Opera House Mystery I thought may be appropriate choice today as it is Mardis Gras. This Marie-Grace Mystery takes place in New Orleans in the 1800's! I love that the mystery books include a looking back section that talks about historical times that Marie-Grace and Cecile "lived in" these books are wonderful stories and true gems!

Mardi Gras With Madelon!

This year, I thought it would be fun to do a Mardi Gras color theme challenge. I don't have a lot of outfits in the traditional Mardi Gras color palette of yellow, purple and green. So I pulled out some clothes of purple and yellow and added a green Mardi Gras mask (2 for $1 at Dollar Tree). I looked for foods in those colors, too. Here, I put together a bowl of candied apples, plums and pears.

An OG beret, and shoes our Madame Alexander doll wears an American Girl purple dress with matching shoes and Kaya's top over the dress.

Look in your dolls wardrobe for fun colors and outfits you can put together.

Enjoy!

Perfect Pear!

Apple delight!
