DARK & LIGHT

 

NoNo Nanette and YesYes Yvette

Both young ladies have personalities to match their contrasting colored fur.  NoNo Nanette is much more tomboyish and speaks her mind.  YesYes Yvette is shy and retiring, content with her place in the background while NoNo Nanette dominates the scene! Both are 13” tall, all-mohair flirts!!  Their long eyelashes add a saucey look to their appealing faces. Watch them bat those beautiful eyes at you while trying to convince you that apart, they are nothing - but together, they're a loving team!

Beautiful eyelash yarn accentuate the winsome features of this oh-so-precious big sister and little brother. Anna is 7 inches, all decked out in a lovely shade of sky blue, topped off with a shell pink crocheted collar.  James William is 4 1/2 inches, barely big enough to walk!
