I have a very special Pink Saturday item to share today... It's a beautiful vintage hankie that I won in a giveaway late last year from sweet Nancy of My Crafty Little Page!
I was able to choose between a kitten or a puppy hankie, and the minute I saw the puppy I knew which one I wanted!
The hankie has a delicate scalloped border and is adorned with pansies. And the puppy reminded me so much of our sweet little Gizzy Girl, who we lost in March of last year.
She had blonde fur, big fluffy ears, and gorgeous brown eyes, just like the puppy on the hankie.
The hankie is the most gorgeous shade of peachy pink....
(I don't know why it looks yellow in this photo!)
I tried it out in several locations...
...before deciding to use it on the white tray that sits on an end table in our living room... I've also toyed with the idea of framing it so I can hang it somehwere.
Here's a photo of little Gizzy on the sofa, right next to where the hankie is sitting. (This was taken in her later years after she'd had one eye removed due to an infection, was blind in her remaining eye, and was getting insulin shots 2x a day... but look at the smile on her little face. She was a happy little troll dog until the day she left us.)
Having this little hankie displayed so prominently...
...is such a sweet reminder of our little angel.
So thank you, Nancy, for this beautiful hankie... And thank you, Beverly, for another great Pink Saturday!!!
Donna
Happy PS

And thank you, Donna, for sharing Miss Gizzy. What a precious little girl, you must miss her so. Having the beautiful hankie so prominent is a lovely tribute.
ReplyDeleteWith our little PINK SATURDAY having a birthday this week, I am on "pink overload" and that is difficult to do to me! I'm lovin' it like crazy!
ReplyDeleteWhat lovely pinks this week you have, my dear. The better to see your through my rose colored glasses!☺
Have a great weekend. Not all that warm up in my neck of the woods but the sun is out and that makes the day good. I hope you are surrounded by those you love and that you, too, are bathed in sunshine.
Awww Donna how sweet! Happy Pink Saturday!
ReplyDeleteAwwww I love your little doggy, sorry to hear she's gone but what a lovely reminder you have of her. Such a pretty hankie.

sometimes things appear in your life when you need them most. You have your hankie to treasure forever and it looks so good where you have it on your tray. What a sweetie you lost, I am sorry, that is always hard, happy pink saturday, Char
ReplyDeleteHappy Pink Saturday, Donna! I love that hankie and the tribute to your darling Gizzy...it makes me tear up! What a sweetie your Giz was. How fitting that the hankie you won reminded you so much of her. Have a great weekend. (I bought a little vintage birdcage that I have to blog about - I thought of you!)
ReplyDeleteHappy Pink Saturday!
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Sandi
Love the hankie Donna! Happy Pink Saturday ~ I hope you have a great weekend ~ Susan
ReplyDeleteWell Donna, you did it again! I'm sitting here crying like a baby. I just love that little dog and that picture of her with her eye gone where she has that big smile on her face, well it looks like she is winking and is the happiest dog.
ReplyDeleteAnimals have such a way to tugging on my heart string.
When I die and see God the first thing I'm going to ask Him is "Why didn't you let animals live as long as people".
There is nothing that breaks my heart more then when we have to say good bye to our beloved pets.
Now post about those chips so I can smile and laugh again.
Hugs,
Joanne
That hankie is adorable, and it does look like your little Gizzie. The hankie looks pretty on that tray table. laurie
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you won that hankie cause the puppy sure looks like your little one. What a sweet way to remember him by.
ReplyDeleteI feel kinda sad from the story cause I'm sure you miss him a lot.
Hope you still have a nice PS
