Pink Saturday

at by

Happy Weekend and Happy Pink Saturday! Thank you Beverly for organizing our little party. Please stop by her blog and take some time to visit everyone and leave a comment. We all love receiving comments!

This week we are taking a little trip down memory lane…to my childhood. Those of you who have been reading my PS posts might remember that my mom called me her ‘pink bunny’ when I was a little girl. Look what I found in my dresser drawer: proof.

My overalls – I couldn’t have been more than 2 years old – I think I was even younger than that.

A little robe. Hard to believe I was ever small enough to wear this…here’s a closer view.

The palest of pinks.
Truth be told, I loved being Mom’s pink bunny! I wonder if there are any children’s books with that title? Wouldn’t it be fun to have one? Have a great weekend!

  1. Happy PS, Claudia! How wonderful that you still have those sweet pieces of clothing. Did your mother embroider on the legs of the pink overalls herself? How adorable I’m sure you were wearing those!!

    Happy Pink Saturday!

  2. Oh, how cute! I wish I had kept some of my daughter’s baby clothing…but I am keeping my granddaughter’s baby clothes! Happy Pink Saturday!

  6. What precious memories, Claudia AKA PINK BUNNY… Who wouldn’t love to be mom’s pink bunny? Happy Pink Saturday!

  7. It’s interesting what pieces of clothing we choose to keep of our children. My mother kept some simple white gowns, shoes, and a winter muff I had. If you think of a way to display these, let me know. Come visit me at Applejack Lane!

  8. Happy PS, Claudia! OMGosh, your little jumper is too darling! I love your palest pink robe with the pretty silk bows on it! My favorite shade of pink! How wonderful you Mother saved it for you! I’ve done the same for both my daughter and son.

    Have a lovely weekend!

  10. Sounds like you need to start working on that children’s book! Such sweet stuff. Amazing that you still have clothing from your childhood.

    I have given you my Kindred Spirit Award today!

    Warmest regards,

  11. How special that you still have your baby clothes. They are lovely and they keep the beautiful memories alive. I had a friend who framed hers in a shadow box and hung it on the wall.

    Happy Pink Saturday,

    Karen

  13. Claudia, how wonderful you still have clothes from when you were that small! What wonderful memories!

    Thanks for sharing!

    Happy Pink Saturday!

  14. What a darling post! I have carried a small box with my childrens baby clothes all around the country in my numberous moves.

    I love and cherish them…obviously as you do.

    What a wonderful post.

    TTFN~~ Claudia ♥

  15. Claudia:
    They’re so beautiful! I love old baby clothes, even though none remain of my own.

    Also…You won second choice in my 100th Post Giveaway. Come on over to find out how to collect your gift set.
    Congratulations!

    Hug,
    Donna

  16. Amazing that you still have those. I have a couple of my son’s things.

    I mowed the upper 40 and John’s going to mow the lower. Heehee. It’s just two acres. On a hot day it seems like much, much more.

    Happy PS! Hugs

  20. Oh so much to say here.

    1. I love that you’re living in your dream cottage… those words just make me smile all over.

    2. Your banner is wonderful, I feel like I’ve just peeked inside your bunny hutch

    3. Those cute overalls laid out LOOK like a pink bunny… the straps look like bunny ears :-)

    4. So sweet that you have clothing from your childhood.

    5. Remember seeing some “Pink Bunny” books at an estate sale. Oddly, they were wintry themed.

    6. Scrolled down & looked at a few posts… I’ll definitely be back :-)

    Happy Pink Saturday!

  24. What sweet little bits! I wish my Mum had saved some of my baby things, but she pitched everything when we were finished with it. She did NOT like “stuff” around….I wonder if that’s why I save EVERYTHING! :-) The little bows all over the robe are just too sweet, aren’t they?

    Have a wonderful week, Miss Claudia!

    Hugs,
    Spencer

  26. How wonderful that those items were saved for you. Thanks for sharing them with us. I hope you have a wonderful day.

  30. You were probably a really cute pink bunny too!

    Thanks for stopping by. I love the pink drill too. It would make me want to do some major work around the house.

    Have a wonderful Pink Saturday Claudia!

  31. That’s wonderful that you still have some baby clothes of yours! I don’t have any, but I remember a favorite dress of mine was when I was like 9 years old, It had a white background with big yellow SMILEY faces all over it! I LOVED that dress! Happy PS! Suzie

  32. Hi, Claudia,
    Your baby clothes are darling. I always loved dressing my children in corduroy overalls. I am sure you looked like a pink bunny in that sweet pink robe. Thank you for paying me a visit at Bunny Cottage. Have a blessed weekend. Vicki

  36. You can tell a lot from childhood clothing like –
    you are MUCH younger than me!
    Thanks for visiting

  38. What great keepsakes. I might just have to go pilfer my Mum’s hope chest to see what she has of mine:)

    Maybe you should google the name for a book.

    Thanks for visiting!

  40. What sweet, sweet precious memories.
    Your little clothes are just adorable..Happy Pinks..have a most lovely weekend.

  41. Claudia, you must have been a very well-loved pink bunny. This story of motherly love makes me smile.

    And, these little pieces of clothing are wonderful treasures.

    Happy Pink Saturday.

  42. What a sweet Pink Saturday blog post! Sadly, every Saturday for the past few weeks it has been raining in northern Michigan. So, this day always brings a little sunshine my way. Thanks so much for the treat!

    ♥Wishing you and yours a wonderful weekend♥

  44. You’re so lucky to have things from your childhood. I have very little and have always wished my mother hadn’t gotten rid of everything. I guess she’s not as sentimental as I am.

  46. Hi Claudia! Love these sweet little baby girl clothes! How nice that you still have them! My mother wasn’t quite so sentimental, but I definitely am! I appliqued my kids’ baby bonnets onto a family quilt I made!.. and I, and future generations will always have them to remember now! Happy Pink Saturday, and hope you’re enjoying a wonderful weekend! ~tina

  48. My Dear Friend Claudia:
    You may want to come and check out my blog real quick. Things are not good honey. We need prayers, and quickly. Please pray. It is so critical right now. I love you, Sherry

  51. You could write a childrens book, Claudia! I love your little clothes. I wish I had memories like that. I have nothing really from my strange childhood. But I have lovely memories of my life now! So I guess that’s the best thing.

  53. Hi Claudia
    Thank you so much for your visit to me today…so sorry I am late in responding,I had to work,just got off.
    Isn’t is cool when one comes across such items,it like..”there’s no way,I was that small”
    That would be a great title to a children’s book…I often think of titles to books that would be intriguing…maybe its a sign,you should write a book???:)
    HPS
    talk to you when I return…Gracie

  54. aw … the little robe is just the sweetest.

    i think you have a childrens’ book idea here, miss claudia. something to think about …

    happy pink saturday!

  58. Hi Claudia~
    Thanks for dropping in! So are you missing San Diego yet?
    Your baby clothes are so cute, what do you plan to do with them now they’re out of the drawer? Have a wonderful weekend!
    Ciao,
    Mary

  59. Amazing these pieces have survived all this time! Love the embroidery on the overalls, what fun. My mother said she embroidered everything except terry nappies!

    So glad you found the blog hints helpful. Thanks so much for visiting, and Happy Pink Saturday!

  61. Claudia, I have a question for you. How do you get your signature on each blog post? I’m pretty computer savvy but I’m not sure how to do that. Can you answer please, sugar.

    I have a nephew who just got his masters in theater. I think Antony wants to be an opera singer though. Flits between Idaho, Utah and New York.

    Thank you for the visit and the comment on th’ blog, honey. It is much appreciated.

    xoxo,

    My email is on my profile page….

  64. I think it is great that you are able to still have those clothes. Sweet pink colors too. Hope you had a great Pink Saturday!

  69. ohh how adorable are these! It’s funny isn’t it – you know you’ve been a baby once but seeing so tiny clothes really makes it hard to imagine way back when we were a wee one LOL

    Lucy you Claudia for still having them.loving the overalls.

    Happy Pink Saturday!

    Hugs…Jeanne

  77. Oh my gosh! How fun that you still have those baby clothes. I’ve saved a few treasured outfits from my boys’ babyhood. Maybe their wives will appreciate it! LOL!

    Happy Pink Saturday,
