I thought you might enjoy seeing one of my Ebay listings which happens to be SO very pretty and...PINK! She is from the 1920's and is a powder puff holder. She holds 6 powder puffs in her skirt. Isn't she just adorable? I may have mentioned that I love 1920's flapper boudoir items. Some of them are totally useful, some are totally useless, but most are somewhere in between. I think the thought of the day was that if something held still, you should embellish it! And boy, did they.
I am going to head out to the beach for a family vacation this week, so I must keep this post short and pack my swimsuit and book! When you read this on Pink Saturday, I will be either en route or enjoying the sand and surf. See you all when I get back (or before if I find something interesting...). Until then, pop on over to Bev's and check out the other Pink Saturday participants. It's never boring!
Until next time,
What sweet and wonderful pink antique lady, how very cool! I love your blog name too, just neat. I'm adding your link to my blogroll - will you add mine too, please? Happy Pink Saturday and Mother's Day to us, one and all!

Happy Pink Saturday and Have a great Mother's Day ~ Susan
ReplyDeleteSuch a l♥vely post for Pink Saturday. This is the one day of the week when I get to visit some of the best blogs in cyberspace and indulge my passion for pink.
ReplyDeleteHappy Mother's Day. I wish you all the peace and joy that a day in celebration of motherhood can bring. You don't have to grow a baby in your womb to be a mother...all you have to do is to l♥ve a human being with compassion and tenderness.
She is just beautiful. I love your blog, so pretty. Happy Mother's Day!

ReplyDeleteHappy belated Pink Saturday. I am so jealous that you are at the beach right now. I am going in two weeks and can't wait. And the May Day flowers you left your neighbors was so sweet. They had quite a surprise. ~ Lynn

ReplyDeleteThat is just the most darling thing! I have something similar to that on my current post but she's a pin cushion. I put her on lay-away yesterday! LOL!

I'm trying not to be jealous of your family beach vacation! How wonderful, have a great time!
ReplyDeleteYou are not going to believe this, but I just got back from Texas and found a French looking half doll just like yours at an antique store. Mine is exactly the same except she has blonde hair and no skirt. The dealer told me it was a pin cushion doll, but I didn't care what she was as I instantly fell for her. How lucky you were to find one with the delightful skirt.
