From Wikipedia:

A trilogy is a set of three works of art, usually literature,
film, or video games, that are connected and can be
seen either as a single work or three individual works.

Mine are three individual works.
Each story stands alone. 

  
Book One-- Do you believe?

 In the Land of Sha Bebe

**************************************************

Book Two -- Cajun Fairies
In the Land of Sha Bebe

************************************************

 

  In the Land of Sha Bebe

"Do you believe?" is about grief and change.

"Cajun Fairies" is about courage and perserverance to confront evil.

 "The Wizard of Swamp Alley" is a portal between "this side" and the "other side".Sometimes, the presence of the other side may be near YOU.

Joy, happiness, suspense and mystery thrive in the sugarcane fields of the Doll Land of Sha Bebe. Remember "The Land"! It will become VERY familiar one day!

___________________________

Mary Lynn Plaisance is affectionately called BeB by her husband Teddy. They have been married for 40 years. Both were born and raised on the banks of Bayou Lafourche. They met in high school and started calling each other BeB before they were married.
The name BeB is a term of endearment that is used by many in Cajun country. After high school, they were married and raised a family of four boys. They now have nine grandchildren.

When the boys left home, BeB wanted to do something different.
This is when Sha Bebe was born. *Sha Bebe means dear baby in Cajun French*. She made her first doll in 1991, and had the doll copyrighted in 1993. The face of Sha Bebe is what identifies the doll.When something is made by hand no two pieces are exactly alike, but the dolls have a look that you know.

BeB always wanted a story to go with the dolls, and when she acquired BeB’s Place in Mathews in 1999, she knew in her heart that this was the place to display her dolls and her Cajun family heritage.

The old house was for her great grandma. Teddy restored the old house for BeB. During this time of restoration is when a story began to unfold in her mind. With so much sugarcane around the place,
this magical story of an enchanted land started to evolve.

The cover photo is of the sugarcane that was growing when they first moved the dolls into BeB’s Place. The sugarcane field is truly The Land of Sha Bebe. The fields are enchanted in parts of Louisiana, and the dolls do bring happiness to everyone. Many people have said so. Do you believe?

Louisiana is the Home of The Cajun Sha Bebe Dolls.They reside at BeB’s Place in Mathews. The dolls are indeed special and are indeed "dear babies" to me, as the fairy tale story is, which is considered adult folklore.

*** INTRODUCTION ***

The Land of Sha Bebe © is a story of how rag dolls, Jolie and Beau, are “born” by Madame Plume in the enchanted parts of the sugarcane fields of Louisiana. The story tells of how they live for one month in their enchanted doll land. They learn good manners andcommon sense from their teacher Miss Betty Lou. Their month in Sha Bebe Land is catered by The Sugar Mill Ladies who cook and clean after them. When their lessons are learned, all the Jolies and the Beaus are ready to enter human land on a magic flying quilt, made by Madame Poulette. The magic quilt brings
them to their destination.
They are left under Christmas trees, in pirouges, on back porches, on office desks, in gift wrapped boxes, at boucherie's and crawfish boils. Anywhere they are needed to bring someone love, and to make them happy, they are there! They come to human land ONLY
after they have approval from Queen Faustina.


No one leaves the sugarcane fields without the Queens key seal! It's a rule! The Cajun Angels always fly over all the lands to protect and bring hope. This first tale tells of Jolie and Beau who come to Emily,a 44 year old woman, who has lost her dad, and they help her in her time of grief. While they are there they tell Emily all about The Land of Sha Bebe, where no human has ever gone.

Or have they?

Is there a way for humans to get into the Land of Sha Bebe by following the braided rug road?

!~ Waltzing along the braided rug road ~!
!~ Waltzing along the braided rug road ~!
 
Dancing and dancing we all sing this song !~
While waltzing along the braided rug road ~!

Is there a way for humans to get into the Land of Sha Bebe by following the braided rug road?

-- Only Emily knows! --

~The book has a lot of Cajun fairy tale magic to it~
Destined to become the next Louisiana fairy tale classic. Adult folk lore that's about CHANGE~~!
