These little kewpie dolls are dressed in handmade dresses and booties.....I just discovered them in a box of old toys that was under a pile of things in the attic....I'm recalling that they were leftovers from a church sale that I helped out at.....no one wanted them so I adopted them....I can't say I took such good care of them as they have been in the box for a very long time.
The title of this vintage book is Baby's First Objects.....I love the pictures......
These baby items were all family things that were passed down....the German baby dish belonged first to my Uncle Don, then Uncle Ted and then my dad......
A mother of pearl ring with a tiny sterling silver bell....can you see the little buckle? (click to enlarge)....a baby spoon monogrammed with the letter C and a monogrammed E on a silver and mother of pearl rattle...complete with baby teeth marks!.....Babytiques!
This package wrapped so charmingly arrived last week from Ruth at The Beautiful Life blog.....
It contained my special, custom ordered pillow!!
Isn't it fabulous!!!??!!
Don't forget to pop over and sign up for The Beautiful Life's 100th post giveaway.....You won't be sorry....besides the fact that it is an extremely generous giveaway.....while you are there you can look over Ruth's lovely blog or visit her online store.....lots of wonderful things to see!

Hi Laura,
The kewpie dolls bring back a lot of great memories and the Mother of Pearl teething rings remind me of my daughter's that still sit on her dresser! What a wonderful pillow with your 52 - just perfect.

What wonderful baby items, Laura! And how special that some of them actually have been used by family members.
I love children and am so drawn to vintage baby things. My Yankee just can't understand it. I started a collection to use for my first grandchild, gave it all to my daughter - when she was pregnant - and then accepted it all back when she told me "it wasn't HER style. Oh, well. I guess you either love vintage or you don't. ;)
Blessings,
