Welcome to my blog and my very first PINK SATURDAY. I'm glad you're here and I hope you enjoy your visit.
I decided to share with you my childhood Vogue Ginny Doll that I received for Christmas in 1954. I decked her out in pink so she could celebrate her birthday and Pink Saturday at the same time. Her birthday hat was from Carolyn at Carolyn's Rock and Roll Ginny site. If you enjoy dolls (and vintage Ginny Dolls in particular) you'll enjoy her site.
This was me at Christmas in 1954. My sister and I both received Ginny Dolls that Christmas and for some reason her blonde Ginny was put in the doll stroller for the picture. My Ginny was exactly the same except she had red hair.
HAPPY PINK SATURDAY!!
I don't think I've seen that photo of you, Betty, it's so cute. Can't believe little Ginny is perched in there looking in PERFECT condition LOL.
ReplyDeleteWelcome to pink Saturday. Your doll and the little pink things are so cute. Happy pink Saturday
ReplyDeleteWelcome to pink Saturday...so glad you decide to join in on the fun.
ReplyDeleteYou are so lucky that you still have your childhood doll....I so wish I still had one of mine.
Rember me in November ...for I will be having a doll contest then.
What a fabulous post! Your Ginny doll is in great shape. I have my mothers Ginny doll and her little chest of clothes. I used to play with when I was little, so my doll is a little worn...Thanks for sharing!

Happy Pink Saturday!
WELCOME to Pink Sat!!!
ReplyDeleteI LOVED that photo of you with the dolls! I receive a "walking doll" at about that same year and in my mind she looked so much like the great doll you showed in your first photo! How I wish I had her!
Have a great First Pink Sat!! Dana
Welcome to your first Pink Saturday, Betty.
ReplyDeleteI love Ginny, and I still have mine, too. In fact, I believe she might have on that same dress. I'll have to go look.
Hi Betty!
ReplyDeleteWelcome to Pink Saturday! It's my first Pink Saturday as well.
I love that Ginny doll. And I love that party hat..too cute!
Have a wonderful Saturday!

Hi! Sewprimitive Karen sent me here. I love your Ginny doll. You have taken very good care of her.
ReplyDeleteYou did a great job decking her out with the pink. How nice of you to have kept her all these years. Doesn't time fly! Happy Pink Saturday!
ReplyDeleteThat is so sweet! We had Ginny Dolls, too, and unfortunatly I took mine to the Beauty Parlor. It was actually the Unbeauty Parlor after I had finished with them. ;-) Welcome to Pink Saturday. Glad to have you onboard.
ReplyDeleteXO,
Sheila :-)
Hi Betty, and welcome to pink saturday. I always love the Ginny doll. I had a couple, I have no idea where they might be now. THank you for a great post, hugs
ReplyDeleteOhmygosh, are you ever lucky to have that doll and I am lucky to have popped over to see her! Welcome to Pink Saturday!
ReplyDeleteWhat fun! I have some Ginny's. I have been craving a new Nancy Ann and a Madame Alexander lately. I collect dolls, mostly wood and cloth, and I carve the wooden ones. I don't have any featured today, but you can find them in the category "Hitty" if you are interested. Thanks for posting! Happy Pink Saturday!

Hey, Betty! I live near your old neck of the woods (Newport News, VA) and I'm just dropping by to say BRAVO to you and your DH for taking in poor little Zoom! And also for spaying and feeding MaMa. My husband and I are also Crazy Cat People - we had 4 cats when we managed to catch 2 feral kittens in a lot across from our local Wal Mart! The ferals, Sammy (Sam's Club) and Wally (Wal Mart - they are both females, though) are still skittish after 2 years, but when you look in their eyes, you can see that they appreciate the care they receive...
ReplyDeleteI loved your post! Happy PINK Saturday! ♥ Diane
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty doll and you look cute, too!

HAPPY PINK SATURDAY BETTY,
ReplyDeleteHAPPY FIRST PINK SATURDAY...IT IS MY FIRST PINK SATURDAY ALSO. ENJOYED YOUR BLOG VERY MUCH. WHEN I WAS YOUNG I DIDN'T REALLY WANT DOLLS MUCH BUT NOW THAT I AM 53, I COLLECT THEM, GO FIGURE.
I DID HAVE THE DOLL, I CAN'T REMEMBER HER NAME BUT SHE had RED HAIR AND WORE ROUND BLACK GLASSES AND I THINK HER CLOTHING WAS LIKE A SAILOR DRESS...MY SISTER GOT A SHRINKING VIOLET THE SAME YEAR AND STILL HAS HER....ONE OF HER SAYINGS WAS, "I'M AFRAID OF NOISY BOYS!' SHE IS REALLY CUTE....MINE MIGHT HAVE BEEN CHATTY CATHY BUT I DON'T THINK SO.
MEMORIES...
THANKS FOR THE SWEET POST
BLESSINGS

Happy First Pink Saturday! I love your Ginny vignette, it is adorable and looks like she came right out of the store! I only have heard of this doll once before..my SIL lost her in a move and was so upset, I can see why!
ReplyDeleteHope your enjoying your day!
Hello Betty, Welcome to Pink Saturday..I hope you enjoy yourself here.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the photo of your with your Ginny doll.. how adorable you are! I always wanted a Ginny doll back then..

Oh how neat! Love the doll! That reminds me I have my old doll upstairs and she has a PINK DRESS On. I will have to take a picture of her. She walks , but I can't remember her name. Maybe mom can help me with that. Fun childhood memories!
ReplyDeleteBlessings!
Happy first Pink Saturday, Betty! Isn't this fun? It will take me all week just to visit all the beautiful blogs. Guess what it's doing today? (starts with an "s") Your post is lovely. I love all your old photos, and I adore your darling Ginny. Where do you find the CUTE accents, such as the table, screen and birthday cake? You are soooo creative!
ReplyDeleteI'm running very late but I wanted to wish you a happy first pink Saturday!! I love your Ginny doll!
ReplyDeleteWelcome to Pink Saturday! Love your photos from 1954. Can't believe you have your doll. I think I had the same red plaid dress you were wearing. LOL
ReplyDeleteBlessings, Lana
How sweet! I wish I had some of my dolls from my childhood! She is in great condition and I love how you staged her!
ReplyDeleteI'll put the coffee on!
Have a happy week!

Hi Betty,
ReplyDeleteSo happy that you have joined PS. i am a little late visiting veryone's blog this weekend. Really enjoyed your Christmas memory. I never had a Ginny doll, but many others were the highlight of my Santa presents over the years. Thanks so much for stopping by for a visit.

I'm so happy that you commented on my blog. I added you to my "Inspiring Visits" because I, too, have a collection of Vogue dolls. I also added Carolyn's Rock and Roll Ginny site.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comments and for the chance to meet other Ginny enthusiasts.
Precious post. I love that you still have your Ginny doll.

Love the little doll, the stew doesn't sound half bad either. Hugs, Rosemarie
ReplyDeleteWelcome to the pink world. The doll is so cute. I remembered we four sisters shared a doll, the size of a baby, but I played with the doll the most and it ended up being my doll..lol.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful post. It is so nice to meet you. I hope you had a super Pink Saturday.. hope to see you again soon.
ReplyDeletehugs ~lynne~
How cute!! My grandmother was Virginia but everyone called her Ginny. I was named Jennifer but called Jenny in honor of her, so your post made me smile thinking of her!!
ReplyDeletePretty little thing.
