Let me introduce you friends to another one of my weaknesses. I love girl pictures, any kind but specially Victorian images. I'm constantly looking for Gibson girls but they are the hardest thing to find. One thing I have no problem finding is girl figurines.
This one was found by my brother @ Collectors Market in Georgetown TX. She is holding a gift in her hands and I like her even better because my brother said to me "Look, she looks like your girls" which I thought is sweet, he really pays attention. She is a Reubens.This one is a powder box. Her face is the sweetest and I love the hat full of roses.
More power boxes. I like the girls better than the ladies which tend to have a severe look to them.
Are they cute or what?. These cuties cost me a good penny but at that point I have never seen the figural atomizers plus they are in mint condition.
More girls. The planter in the back is another Reubens ( the same company that used to make the very collectible lady head vases). I don't love her but she was cheap enough to pass up. The one in the front is occupied Japan and she is a sweet girl.
Another Reubens planter
She got no markings so I don't know who she is, I don't care for branding or perfection, if I liked it I buy. I mentioned names a lot just as extra info since most of my knowledge I have acquired from Ebay, bloggers or the net. It comes handy when you resale.
The pink ballerina with turquoise got the cutest face and the girl with the rose hat is a half doll from Germany.
Now, this is my favorite planter. She is in mint condition and I got her for a song.
This is all for today pinkie friends. Thanks again to the Pink Saturday belle of the ball Ms. Beverly. You can visit with her @ http://howsweetthesound.typepad.com/my_weblog/ for a list of more places to visit. Blessings, Marta.

Hi Marta,
I love your sweet girls..they're all so sweet and beautiful.I don't think I would be able to choose a favorite. Happy Pinks..have a great weekend.
Oh my goodness these are so adorable. I love your favorite girl but mine is the ballerina! She is just the sweetest. Thanks for sharing these!
I'm with you! I love vintage images like these too. Your little girl pushing the strawberry cart is adorable, she's my favorite! Happy Pink Saturday Marta and have a glorious weekend!
Pretty in Pink! How sweet are those girls! I have a girl figure that I got as a birthday gift when I was a little girl, and just recently gave to Reagan. I may have to add to it!
LOVE Collector's Market!

What a great collection, they were all fun to look at!
Hi Marta: I just have to tell you. I too notice how much we are a like. The way you describe shopping is exactly the way I shop with my friends. I alway thought it was a little weird to go shopping but separate until you are done with a shop. You do it too! I collect the exact same things you do. This is so weird. I love getting to know you. Thanks for sharing so much of yourself with me. Blessings, Martha PS - I was born in Texas. The name on my birth certificate is Marta. I will have to tell about that story some time.
Happy Pink Saturday! These figurines you posted are soooo cute. ta ta for now.

A precious collection! Love the atomizers. Happy Pink Saturday!
These are SO AWESOME! I went back to look again and tell you which ones were my favorite...but could not decide. They remind me so much of the stuff my grandmothers had scattered around their houses. Just little treasures here and there. Thanks for sharing!

i collect little girl figurines too, though i'm sure i don't have as many as you. there's just something about them ... innocence? sweetness?

Darling, just darling. I have enjoyed looking at your girls. I love the Victorian prints, too, but transferred to fabric so I can include them in Crazy Quilting projects.
