~Swaps~Pink Polka Dots~& Poodles~

~It is that time again......the weekend and Pink Saturday~
~I set this post for 12:am but it did not work~oh well~


Remember These boxes?......I teased you and would not show you the contents
This is from the first swap I ever entered.....I entered two at the same time~Vintage Boudoir and a Parasol swap........I was not sure what to expect as I was a newbie to blogging and swaps too. My partner for the Boudoir swap was Lori and my Parasol swap partner was Shannon.....from, Paint Mine Pink.
My package from Shannon came from afar.....

I was tickled Pink at what I received.


~Here is a peek~

Love the tissue paper and cute card
Everything was wrapped so pretty.....Should I open it? Of course, I will

Look at all my beautiful things........Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
~(Lori made this)~
I never posted what Shannon sent....I was too excited and spread my goodies throughout my house.......but I have to show this.....I love it so much!!!

Do you see why I love it?.......that is my SOPHEE-A!!!
Shannon got the picture from my blog or website and she made this just for MOI.
Love ya....Mrs. Pink Cuppie

Now here is something I purchased and I adore it.....does anyone know what comes in these cute polka dot boxes?......Here is a hint~it is a doll, and a lovely vintage beauty she is
It started with me ordering this book and then......
Isn't she beautiful? A genuine Nancy Ann doll called~Pretty maid~
She has her original tag and cute little box that also still has the stamp
I fell in love with these dolls when I saw them on a lot of my blog sisters~BLOGS
I am drawn to this particular type.....the little bisque dolls from the earlier years of Nancy Ann
I have my eye on several others...a blond of course and I added this sweet, Religious icon.
Although I am not Catholic(Hubby is)......I could not resist her.....she is a daily reminder to pray and also....I will be carrying a few items in my shop in a new category"Prayers and worship".
*Look for this in October*
I hope you enjoyed your "pink" visit today and I will see you all in 2 weeks. I just participate every other week...this is a busy time of year....The holidays will be here before we know it.
Have a wonderful "Pink" weekend...remember to hug the ones you love and give thanks for the brand new day.

Sheri, Please again accept my deepest apologizes for the enormous delay in getting your swap to you! I knew what I wanted to make and it took me forever to get it mailed out! Hubby will not mail for me! So do you remember likeing the napkins? make sure you let me now if you ever do a post with them at the table would love to see them! Glad you liked your poodle box, it was fun to make and love useing vintage cards! Take care, and really hope were o.k with each other cause of the delay! Lori

I love Nancy Ann dolls, and yours is beautiful.

You received so many pretty new and pink things. It must have seemed like Christmas opening so many things.

Packages are just the best and I loved Sophee-A's gift best.
I forgot to tell you. I told you I would be going to a wedding on sunday. I have been going such full throttle, I had the wrong day! I will out of the store on that saturday. Thank god, I was able to switch coverage. I need to slow down but the projects won't let me. You know what that's like!
How are the new site changes working out?

Cute Stuff!! That is so funny now you can see my old blog perfectly, thats cause I deleted everything by mistake! LOL. Oh well a fresh start I guess, except hardly anyone has stopped by my new one, was it hard to get to the new one? I left the link on my old blog, is that what you used to go to the new blog?
