The first time I saw these dolls, my Grandmother took me to her bedroom, opened a drawer, brought out a white linen towel and carefully unwrapped it......here is what I saw.
Her little boy and girl German porcelain dolls. See she is dressed in pink.
She even has a little pink hair bow!
Pink petticoat and pink shoes!
Little pink bows in her dress.
I am sure you want to see her beau too.
A fair haired boy, dressed in blue with blue shoes
He has such a sweet face
and rosey cheeks
they make a great pair
Now don't you think this was the look on my Grandma's face when she opened them up on Christmas morning?
These dolls are about 100 years old now, after my Grandmother died my brought home her corner cabinet and placed them there. I have the cabinet in my dining room and had them there for awhile. I moved them to the pink bedroom where they sit on my hutch I had as a little girl.
Happy Pink Saturday!!

I love it... I have my grandma's music box.
And a collection of old dolls that I am in the process of liquidating (they were not hers).
My collecting has created too much stuff, what was I thinking?
These little dolls are gorgeous and a wonderful reminder of your grandma and the picture is precious.
You must have been enchanted when you first saw these. What a treasure!
What wonderful treasures from your Grand mother you have! They are just beautiful and what memories they hold for you!!
HPS!!

What great vintage pieces you have there...and especially nice because they were handed down.
Thank you for the detailed photos of these treasures from your Grandmother. They have been looked after so carefully. Lovely detail on the clothing too.
