The Lost Pines Kennel Club

Uh oh – I can't remember if I've ever  shown you pictures of this or not!   I'm going on the assumption that you probably don't remember either so I'll proceed.  Any objections?  You may continue.  I mean I may continue… Three guesses as to what I've been doing the past few days.  Good lord – the testimony seems to be getting in the way of the sidebars.   Anyway…. Here it is time for Pink Saturday and I'm scrounging around for something Pink.

 

This is a box I made for my friend Judy for her birthday back in April.  I've  developed an interest – ahem - (obsession) with figurines from the 50s that were made in Japan.  So for my yaya buds April birthdays they all got figurines!

I covered an old Frost Bros box with soft blue '40s wallpaper and vintage dictionary pages.  An old prize ribbon floret was the perfect embellishment.

I was going to replace the ribbon part with a different one

but I decided to leave it because nestled inside was this sweet little figurine.

A little pup who looked so much like Judy's sweet old Bailey who died last year.

 

Bailey, Big Lilly, and Spanky – three old dog friends belonging to three old girlfriends.  They were all so darling together.  First Bailey died, a year later my first Lilly  died and just a few weeks ago Barbara's Spanky who I absolutely adored   - died.  She was a little Yorkie so full of vim and vigor who seemed to have nine lives.  At almost 15 years old she quietly slipped away… blind, mostly deaf and on her own terms.

Spanky used to come stay with us on a regular basis – we all just adored her and she's missed – a whole lot.  Isn't it wonderful how our pets bring so much love to our lives.

Stop by to visit Beverly at How Sweet The Sound for Pink Saturday.  Thanks for letting me have a little doggie remembrance today.  xoxo Nancy
