Apparently, I have liked the color pink for a very long time. And to prove this to you, I am showing some of my Childhood Pinks today for Pink Saturday. Thank you to Miss Beverly at How Sweet the Sound for letting me participate! This pretty little ceramic doll was made for me by my mom when I was about 6. She made her blonde with blue eyes to look like me. She also made my older sister one that looked like her. In fact, I think we both still have them! This doll has the prettiest pink dress with vintage lace trim, a hat, a book and a little teddy bear.
Her little book has a picture of a house on it and says something about bears in the forest. The bear came unglued years ago and I used to hide my diary key in it when I was younger! It made a very good hiding place!
My room when I was little was decorated in Unicorns. I had curtains, a beadspread and all sorts of stuff with unicorns. My mom made me this cute little unicorn jewelry box when I was probably 5. It has purple stars and pink swags in the middle and pink flowers in the grass. He's lost his horn, but I think it is still pretty obvious he is a unicorn!
This little ceramic jewelry box still sits on my dresser and holds a lot of little pink ribbons from Breast Cancer Awareness things.

This little lamb is as old as I am! I have had it since I was a newborn baby! She is actaully in pretty good shape being 28 years old and all!
I love her pink little mouth. And she has the sweetest pink rosebud above her ear!
And last but definitely not least is my peek-a-boo pink bunny! She too has been around since I was a tiny baby. You pull her cord and she plays a lullaby and plays peek-a-boo. I love the little pocket watch on her tummy-reminds me of a certain rabbit in Alice in Wonderland! Her pinkness has faded over the years, and I am so glad that I have her still. I hope to someday let my own babies listen to her sweet lullaby and show them how to play a fun little game of peek-a-boo!

Oh Trisha Sweetie...
Happy Pink Saturday and thank you so much for sharing with me today. What a beautiful share.
What a treasure to have such a beautiful doll made by your precious Momma, and that you have kept her. She is just beautiful. Love the blonde hair and blue eyes and her detail is remarkable. What a great job your Momma did with ceramics.
The lamb is so sweet. I love lambs. Maybe someday you will have these wonderful treasures to pass on to a little girl of your own, or should I say a little Princess.
I remember that peek-a-boo bunny. I think I was given one for my youngest son when he was born 29 years ago. Love it sweetie.
A beautiful share. Have a gorgeous Pink Saturday. Many hugs and much love, Sherry
You have some adorable pinks around. I enjoyed seeing all of them, but the little girl is my favorite.
There is just something about a lamb--so innocent and tender. I have a few ceramic ones that I keep out all year. Love your little pink one---Happy Pink Sat.

I have a little lamb from when I was little too. In fact I have a whole box of stuffed animals I can't bear to part with. I've whittled them down to the one box the last few years.
I think the little unicorn is all the more special because of it's broken horn. Happy Pink and welcome to the madness!
OMG! Did you get to play with the lamb?!? It looks fresh out of the package. You were one clean little lamb yourself! Love the memories you shared this week.
