TIS MY MOTHER'S PINK JEWELRY BOX 
costume jewelry was such the rage back when she was young....she kept her better jewelry in another jewelry box but, alas.....it isn't PINK
so it will slip into another posting one day....
OOOOO, this little BABY JESU' isn't VINTAGE but HE is so ADORABLE, with HIS little PINK face, that I wanted to share HIM with you.SUZANNE at THE FARMERS WIFE, made this precious little GUY and, as most of you know, I am NOT a crafting person AT ALL. Her instructions look so easy and, even tho I will PROBABLY make a hugh mess, I am going to try making one for my shelf in my entry hall.... IF ever I get just a little extra time, that is....
If you'd like to see SUZANNE'S step by step instructions, COMPLETE WITH PICTURES, go on over and......
then, if you make one, PLEASE LET SUZANNE and MYSELF know....and share pictures.......

Love, love those ads! So much fun, and so many memories. Thanks for the fun memories. laurie
Is it just me, or are some of those photos "gasp" -sexual! Especially the ice skater! Wow- our parents were racey! Loved every one of the photos!
Yep, Lux soap is still manufactured by the Unilever company! That's a pretty good track record.
I had a blast scrolling through all the vintage ads. Marilyn being my favorite - gosh she could probably have sold ice to eskimos.
And just as I thought your fab post was coming to a close, I am left with a gorgeous pic of Johnny Depp! What a treat!
Wow, this is a post filled with nostalgia, eye candy and Pink Saturday Fun.
In the spirit of this season of giving, I have a gift for you today. I am giving away some art...because I BELIEVE. Please stop by and take your art home, or leave me your e-mail and I will send you the file. You can use the art for tags, cards, prints or in your creations for the Holidays.
Happy Pink Saturday.
It was my job to squeeze the bag of margarine and mix in the color capsule! Thanks for the memory. Sally

I really love Happy Pink Saturday! Loved seeing all the adds and Johnny too...I think he is too cute. Your mom's jewel box is a treasure...I remember my mom had one (not pink) and I use to just love playing with all her pretties....hugs, Linda
Oh BJ, what an amazing Pink Saturday post! Sure brought back some great memories, with those ads!
Well BJ, I was going to say how much I loved all of those vintage ads and then I saw that last picture and oh Lord have mercy...he is my favorite pink post today :) Hope you are having a lovely evening.
Hugs,
Dena
What a fun, fun post---and I DO love the looks of that Johnny Depp! That guy has so much talent!
Your mom's jewelry box is just so sweet--love the little fleur de lies on the lining.
THose old ads are a hoot. I don't think we ever had any squeezeable margarine, but I do recall many of the other items!! You are such a good little Pink Researcher!
Hope your Sat. was a great one! Dana
I love vintage ads... they're so much fun to look at! And what great jewelry!
BJ, you are a hoot. I don't think it matters where you get your pink or how much there is of it, your post is so much fun. The ads are awesome. I love the old ads and I believe they had a lot more interest than they do now. I too remember the oleo with the yellow dye. As kids we hated how it tasted. We lived on the farm then and most of the time we had real butter. We did live on a dairy farm. LOL.
Today at our church women's luncheon we were asked 25 questions about what we were remember about way back when. I remembered 24 out of 25 and I was so proud of myself.
Then the hostess said if you remember all of those things you are older than dirt. LOL. I was sure deflated.
Have a great Sunday sister friend...love, Jeanne
Hello...it is so nice to meet another pink lady. Adored all the ads...but they make me feel old for I remember most of them.
Do stop by some time and check out the pink contest that we have going on right now @ themanyshadeofpink.blogspot.com
Hope to see you there.
Sondra
i love all the ads-even the not too pink ones! and i love johnny!! happy pink week and thanks for sharing all that goodness!
Wow! Love all that vintage!! Especially your mom's jewelry...what a treasure chest!!
Happy Pink Saturday!

Hello BJ!
The margarine thing still has my mind, it seems amazing some how.
Betty
