It's Vintage Thingies time over at Coloradolady, where Suzanne is the hostess! Please visit her blog, and all of the other participants in VTT if you like looking at all kinds of great vintage things. I haven't done VTT for months, because I'm gone all day on Thursdays, and I felt guilty about not getting to visit the other bloggers until Friday. But I'm going to make this work, because I miss VTT so much!
First up is my small pixie collection, all Made In Japan. That one on the left looks like he is going to start some pixie trouble, doesn't he? He looks very suspicious to me!
This pink cutie is my latest addition. I never knew there were pink pixies until I found him. Up until now I thought all pixies were green or brown. I've been drawn to everything pink lately, so I'm sure he'll be getting a pink buddy real soon!
Another small collection, this one consisting of shell girls. I've had the yellow one forever, and she is very grubby, but I can't seem to get her clean. I'm thinking that these were probably souvenirs at one time. Maybe from Florida? I should probably Google it!
This little gal is tiny, only about 2" tall. She's got a little shephard's crook, so maybe she is supposed to be Little Bo Peep. I'm not sure, but I do know that I hope to add to both collections this garage sale/estate sale/flea market season!
Happy VTT!
Carol

Those shell girls are really cute. I've never seen those where I live, but I don't go to many garage sales.

What sweet little collections! I like the pixie boys, they remind me of Peter Pan and the Lost Boys, adorable! Happy VTT!
Love your pixies; so cute! And I've never seen sea shell ladies, definitely some kind of a souvenir.
Wow, what a great collection of pixies and shell girls. Amazing vintage treasures you've found.

Blessings,

Oh I love your shell babies! They are so cute and kitschy!
So cute.....thanks for sharing...blessings
Well I have seen your shell girls as I had one myself for years. She must have gone by the wayside I only remember her now that I see yours. That would have been in the late 40's or 50's I had that shell girl. The little pixies I've seen to, they are certainly vintage and I do love those.
The shell girls are new to me too but they are really adorable. I cannot believe there is a Little Bopeep. Love the elves!! Happy VTT!
Adorable! I love their faces! The shell girls are totally new to me-WOW!
I often start visiting on Thursday but finish up on Friday-I think that's fine.
Great collection! The shell girls are still being sold today at any beach you visit. My husband brought me a table with poker playing shells from one of his trips.
Love the little shell girls!
Love the pixies! The shell girls are very unique. :)
Love your collections. Sweet little shell girls.
Love your pixie elves! I have a rapidly growing collection myself (I've made myself only collect RED). I think by next Christmas my mantle will be covered with them!
Those shell girls are awfully cute too!

Carol, do you realize that pixies are all the rage for some of the vintage artists? I've seen some cute stuff. Fun!
I love those pixies! You have the greatest finds.
I love that tiniest shell girl, and your "grubby" lil' yellow girl, too!
What cute little pixies!
Very fun pixie collection that you have!
Happy weekend.
Warmly,
Deb :)
What wonderful collections you have!! We especially love the shell girls. The colors are really Springy and pretty!
Have a great weekend.

So cute. I remember some of those from my childhood. Mimi
Hello Carol, thank you for your visit and comment about my grandmother's memory jar. Yes, it is a wonderful treasure. She actually made several over the years. My sister has one and this one belongs to another sister. Sigh! I didn't get one. However, both of my sisters live nearby. We have a huge family so we are blessed to have two in our family.
I adore your pixies. I love all vintage treasures but pixies are a fave of mine too. The shell girls are sweet and I am sure the girl is Little Bo Peep. Wonderful treasures Carol. Thank you for sharing them. It doesn't matter when you find time to visit. Keep posting.
Hugs, Jeanne
I sometimes don't get to the blogs till the day after, so I understand your dilemna, but whenever you get there, know people appreciate your vintage finds. Thanks for the comment on my page, new to this, but I definintly love vintage things.
Hi, Carol! LOVE those shell girls--so fabulous! Never seen those before, now suddenly I must have some!
Love the pixies, too! Hope you're off to a great weekend! Thanks for the visit, too!
Hi Carol, Thank You for your visit today. The shell chicks are too cute. Thanks for sharing...Julian
Love the little pixies! My grandmother use to have one of those little shell ladies. It brought back wonderful memories! Thanks for inspiring me today!

Hand and hand we go...loving life together. Thanks for the pixie pic's...I have my fair share too as you know. Again and again...I love Carol so...were like two peas in a pod, living life vintage style with some fairytale charm mixed in. A very good recipe indeed. I'm dreaming up a pixie give away in the future in a land of miniature. I'm sure we'll be there together!
The pixies are just darling one of my Sisters collects them and the plush ones too!
Your collections are so cute. I especially like that pink and green pixie. I have never seen one in those colors before either.
