Description

Wee Forest Folk, handcrafted ceramic miniature mouse. Beddy Bye Mousey sculptured by Annette Petersen.

The finished sculpture is molded and hand cast at the “mouse factory” in Carlisle, MA. Carefully selected artists flawlessly paint each one by hand bringing to life a sweet little mouse personality. The initial of the  sculptors adorns each of the piece.

It all began more 46 years ago by Annette Petersen in her old fashioned kitchen on the family farm in New England USA. Annette celebrated her 100th birthday in 2019 and still produces a few pieces a year,
