The Pink Poodle that Lost Her Head...

Once again I wanted to join Beverly at How Sweet the Sound for Pink Saturday, but I keep having technical difficulties sending an email to join the party. :-(  I promise I will keep working on that and maybe one of these days I can link up! If you haven't checked out Pink Saturday, I encourage you to do so!

Anyhoo,  I was going to share this sweet pink poodle figure:

Doesn't her haughty brows make her look sort of sassy? Or like a femme fatale?

She has a puppy attached to her collar on a chain. Usually when I see these, there are two pups, but she only had one. I always call these 'dresser poodles', but I don't collect or know much about the 1950-60s so I don't know what they are really called (I assume these were popular in the 1950s or 1960s). They looked like something a lady would have to adorn her dressing table. I  own her sort of by accident. In April when I went treasure hunting at a large antique mall I was looking at some pink Depression glass and I accidentally knocked this poodle off the shelf below. She fell and her head broke off. Of course, I put her in my basket and bought her. Luckily, the booth she was from was having a 40% off sale and the folks at the antique mall were kind enough to reduce the price by another 20% because she was broken, even though it was me who broke her. So, I took her home, glued her head back on and now she sits sweetly on my dresser in my room.


I also wanted to show this interesting item:

I had some extra pink spray roses from a centerpiece I made for my Queen Victoria Tea , so I put them in this. I'm not even sure what to call it, exactly. It has a glass bowl that rests on a silver-plate base with swans and small candle holders.

The glass bowl has a metal cover with holes in it; sort of like a flower frog. The candle holders are really tiny; none of my regular size tapers fit in it, so I'll have to look for skinnier ones. My mother-in-law found this somewhere and gave it to me, knowing my fondness for making centerpieces and flower arrangements.

Thanks for stopping by!
