Miller Studio Chalkware doggie on malware plates

Fun, fun.......This really is not that old made in the 70's, now to my daughters that is old! There is something about Pink and Black that I love. This is the girl dog and there is a boy out there somewhere. I googled them and saw a set on ebay.

My Grandmother Stella May Boudreaux gave these to me. She has great taste and has a birthday tomorrow. She will be 88 years old. She is a blessing to me. I call her and my Grandpa almost everyday and have the best time chit chatting. I am 46 and still have them in my life. It is such a comfort to me to know they have each other and are there together.

Has 1969 written in pencil on bottom. My Grandma Jane did that. She would write on the bottom of her collectibles. What is it about pink? It is a magnet to me always!

While I did not buy this, (I think it was 45.00) I had never seen one except on Flickr. So it was fun to get a picture. Fernandina Beach and Amelia Island are such neat places to find "treasure"......

Inside page of My Little Blue Story Book 1966

Went to Goodwill this morning right when they opened. I see the same people there almost every time I go in the morning time. It is like a coffee club. They all talk and discuss what they find and want and don't want and what they are going to do with the treasure. All walks of life shop there. I can tell some people are uncomfortable shopping in Goodwill, not me!
