Happy Pink Saturday

Today I am sharing a doll that was made to resemble my Grandmother. She is wearing a dress made from her wedding gown.And the dolls hair is made from my Grandmmother's hair. The dish with PINK lid was also hers. I think it was used to hold cosmetics. I use it to hold jewels.

Here are some more digital images you can use for your pleasure. Click and enlarge, then save image to your computer. Thess images do not have backgrounds so they can be used on top of another image.

Last week I went to La Chambre Rose blog for the first time. I enjoyed the visit very much. If you have not been there before, here's the link.
