The little one is bits and bobs of things---some saved all these years from my childhood dollhouse (yes, the one in which I painted the kitchen walls pink with my Mother's bottle of Cutex PINK). And the BIG one was almost exactly that long coming, as well, through a long progression of yellows and greens and then a great seventies foray into BRADY ORANGE counter-tops which you could see from the moon.<br /><br />We finally got the real one two years ago, and since, I've been given quite a few pink kitchen items, so it's a study in roses and pastels, with all the utilitarian pieces hidden away in drawers and cabinets.<br /><br />I love when you visit, and hope you're having a lovely SPRING!<br /><br />rachelRachelDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11204947567574886675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7869212964119628808.post-33790386796046960252017-04-06T18:59:26.554-07:002017-04-06T18:59:26.554-07:00Oh Debby, your photos should be on notecards, and ...Oh Debby, your photos should be on notecards, and I always enjoy learning a little more about you through your answers.
