Pink Saturday

at by


MeetTressa. Tressa is my sweet doll with two left feet. I have written about her before, but I thought she deserved special attention on Pink Saturday. My friend Heidi and I found Tressa when we were antiquing. Heidi had her in her shop but I knew I would bring her home to MHC someday. I did. She really does have two left feet. At some point she must have needed a replacement leg and for some reason, the replacement leg had another left foot. When we purchased her, we were told that a true doll collector wouldn’t want her because of her two left feet. Well….you can understand why we immediately said, “We’ll take her!” And now she lives here. I adore her.

Doesn’t she have the prettiest, sweetest face?

Here she is with the edge of her bonnet flipped back.

Stop by Beverly’s blog to see a list of everyone participating. Happy Pink Saturday!

  3. She IS adorable. Some dolls can be scary looking but this one is pure sunshine. I’m glad you adopted her and give her the glory she deserves. We all have two left feet at one point or another in our lives!

  12. Well, sometimes a Gal needs an excuse for not being able to dance. Teresa doesn’t need a right foot, bless her heart, she’s just perfect with two left ones. Thanks for visiting CollectInTexas Gal and adding your memories of Annette Funicello…Sue

  20. Oh Claudia, I LOVE dolls, and I LOVE stories like this! She is BEAUTIFUL, and I am sure I would have brought her home too! She is absolutely darling! Happy Pink Saturday, and hope you have a wonderful weekend! ~tina

  21. Tressa is lovely indeed and I’m delighted you’ve given her a loving home. I must say the doggies in your sidebar are adorable too. Methinks my Molly would love to play with them.

    I missed Beverly’s deadline so I’m not on the ‘official list’ but I did share PINK today for the third time.
    Hugs and blessings,

  23. She’s beautifully pink and adorable. Her two left feet only make her more gracious, don’t you think? All of us probably have those two left feet at times in our lives. Have a beautiful Saturday.

  24. I love your doll, thanks so much for sharing your delightful find for Pink Saturday. Thanks also for your visit to my blog, my best for a wonderful week, Claudia.

  25. I remember her! :-) She certainly deserve to be in a Pink Saturday post – all on her own. And I still love that you adopted her into your home Caludia.

    Happy Pink Saturday!

    Mizpah,

  26. Good morning to you and sweet baby doll! She DOES have the sweetest face. Just wanted you to know I added a link to your blog in my Pink Saturday post as Beverly asked us, and thought it was funny we BOTH had doll posts! You have a lovely blog and I’ve enjoyed my time here. Happy Pink Saturday to you.

  31. Oh she is soooo sweet, how lovely and Happy Pink Saturday to you dear. Thank you so much for stopping by, I love the little baby girl shes sweet.

    Have a good rest of your weekend,
    Blessings,
    Heidi

  33. Oh she is cute! Glad she made it home with you. I love the details in her shoes and clothing. Thanks for always leaving comments and stopping by to visit. I appreciate that so much. Have a wonderful weekend!
    Hugs and glitter,
    Patti

  36. Oh my goodness, Claudia, I adore her, too. You are a lucky girl to find such a sweet, sweet doll! Happy Pink Saturday and thank you for dropping by for a visit. Vicki

  41. Oh sweet Claudia, who would ever know. I think a true collector would know that non perfect things sometimes hold greater value. What is perfection anyway? I think you lovely little lady is perfect with two left feet, Happy Pink Saturday, Char

  43. Claudia, she’s just gorgeous! What a lucky doll to have found her way home with you . . . I’m sure she’ll be well taken care of loved, even if she does have two left feet! LOL!

    I went back for the pink brooch yesterday, but ended up coming home with a totally different one! LOL! I’m still thinking I’ll go back for it . . . maybe next week. I keep looking at that darn picture and it gets me going all over again! LOL!!

    Thanks for sharing Tressa with us and Happy Pink Saturday!

    Hugs,
    Teresa

  46. Love this! Those little shoes are so sweet, and she has a lovely face and expression. Have you seen the spoof documentary film Best In Show? One of the main stars has two left feet, and used to walk in circles. Hysterical!

    So glad you liked my first attempt at a blinkie – it took some time, but was well worth it. (My shortest post ever???)

    Happy Pink Saturday, sweetie!

  50. She is a true beauty, and I can see why you adore her. We all have little flaws, and hopefully they make us even more special.

    Happy Pink Saturday, Claudia.
