Pink girls

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.

Another view of the belle of the ball.

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.
