DTA Productions presents a classic piece of French film noir, He Wore a Blue Raspberry Beret.
He Wore a Blue Raspberry Beret
Our hero, forced to the streets at a young age, always relied on the kindness of strangers.
His good looks and charm provided him with many glorious encounters. Ooh, la la it was so sweet.
But would he ever find lasting amour?
He grew weary of waiting…
His heart was becoming as empty as his plate.
Until the day he spied her across the cafe…his heart leapt.
He noticed that the chair opposite hers was filled only by a beautiful basket. Was there a place for him? It was almost to much to hope for.
She lifted her cup to salute him.
Before long they were enjoying a tête-à-tête.
He fit in her beautiful basket, but wondered if he would fit in her heart, her life?
The thought of losing her made him hang his head and whimper.
But alas she said she could not live without her sweet chien and they lived happily ever after.
Now available in glorious technicolor! Starring Rudi, a loveable orphan adopted from the Tucson dachshund rescue shelter 5 years ago.
Rudi’s Costume
His scarf is a simple construction of two triangles sewed back to back and enhanced with a bit of machine embroidery. His blue raspberry beret was created with a simple circle of felt.
We hope you have enjoyed our show and will perhaps consider adopting a shelter dog as a beloved pet.
Merci Beaucoup!

Laura, I am so THRILLED to see that I won the French basket/tote!!! I am so excited. I have not bought a straw purse for the summer, so I will LOVE using my new bag. Although I really like both of them, I think I will go with the St. Remy, since it will go with more of my outfits. I went to 2 more Target stores looking for your sandals, but no luck. I guess that shoe was popular everywhere. I'm sorry I could not find them for you. Hope you have a wonderful weekend. I will send you my address. Thanks again so much!!! Love & blessings from NC!
You clever creative girl!
Hahaha you cracked me up! Love the star of the show and his costume of course! I just lost a hat like his 🙁
I'm just popping over to say 'hi' after a long blog break. Hope everything is well in your neck of the woods. Wishing you a lovely Memorial Day weekend.
What a great giveaway! She is one lucky winner.
I had my fingers crossed, but oh well, maybe another time.
Loved this post, your outfits and your wit.
Happy Memorial Day!

Oh my gosh, this is so funny – unlike most French cinema, this made lots of sense!!! Loving this leading man in his blue raspberry beret, I can see how he sweeps ladies off their feet!
this is too adorable to not comment. love it, love it, love it. off to see if my cat will let me do that to her…doubtful…
i giggled all the way through this, then giggled all the way through again while making my husband read it. my dachshund needs a beret!
i've come to the conclusion no man will be enough for me, so, i think i will marry rudi 🙂

I don't know how on earth I missed this, Laura! OH, I love Rudi!!! He is a little doll. And I can't believe he was in a shelter! But I can't believe any dog or cat is in a shelter. I'm so glad he found love with you.
XO,
Sheila 🙂
I get a tear every time I read this post, seriously….and now it's further enhanced by the talented Fifi! What is even more beautiful is that you rescued little Rudi, who fits with you like hand in glove it seems….the special bond of a dog and his Mistress. xxoo to both of you!
I don't know how I ever managed to miss this before but it is sooo cute! 😀 LOVE the B&W photos!
You really need to scrapbook this story. 🙂
