My "P" post this week includes a plethora of "P" things. I stayed on the "P" topic, Mrs. Matlock, but my "P" ideas are so abundant...hence the word "plethora".
My first photo is of Patsy Joan an Effanbee doll that I won at a doll show in Phoenix several years ago. Since I don't display all my dolls anymore, she is safely tucked away in her box and she has never been played with.
This is a photo of a doll that was naked when I bought her. I asked my mother if she could make a dress for this doll and this is what she came up with. My mom even added two strands of pearls on the pink dress, and gave the doll a flower to hold!

This photo is of an American Character Tiny Tears doll from the 1950's. I played with this doll a lot and dearly loved her. All of her pink clothing is original except for her shoes and socks.
This pink vignette was in my former house. I have since packed most of the items away but I wanted to include the photo because of the predominant pink colors.
Mrs. Matlock, do I get extra credit for a triple "P" entry for these Patti Page paper dolls?
The following photo shows one of my favorite childhood pastimes...building with my plastic bricks. My cousins and I spent hours building houses or other structures with these wonderful interlocking bricks. These are definitely from the 50's. Does anyone remember them?
Pumpkin bling!
A 1942 Philip Morris cigarette ad promising "Inhaling needn't worry your throat"! Maybe not but inhaling would really take a toll on your lungs!
This 1932 Pictorial Review cover is so colorful.
I really like this October, 1927, Priscilla magazine cover.
I found these Paula Deen dinner plates on a Craig's List posting. I now have 8 dinner plates, 8 salad/dessert plates, and 10 cups by Paula Deen for our Christmas celebration.
This is a photo of one of my mom's vintage hankies with pretty pink flowers.
I remember these two pink containers from my childhood. They were in our bathroom in the 1950's.
My mom's vintage pink jewelry box. She has about 3 jewelry boxes in her dresser and I'm glad that she kept this one from the 50's.
Finally I have a photo of a pink poodle that I bought at a friend's yard sale. Maybe my baby granddaughter can play with it someday.
This concludes my "P" post for Alphabe-Thursday. Visit other students who submitted "P" papers to our teacher, Mrs. Matlock, and please have a wonderful day.

There are so many good p-words. I had trouble stopping myself! But for some unknown reason I did not think of the colour pink! "Plethora" is a new word for me.
Love yout dolls and the vintage magazine pages.
Thanks for sharing.

I love all your P things. For some reason that second doll reminds me of an old movie star. I'm probably wrong. Great P's.
I enjoyed the doll pictures. You are very fortunate to still have your childhood Tiny Tears.
I don't remember those plastic building blocks. I either never played with them or my 64 year old brain no longer remembers. :)
I enjoyed all your P things...especially the vintage things.
You have such amazingly awesome things. Plethora is definatly the right word! Great P post.
What a great 'P' post & great blog. I'll be popping back to have another read through!
Happy Alphabe-Thursday - and look forward to *seeing* you again next time!
Mine’s HERE!
XOXO LOLA:)
I think you have about 100 "p"'s in this post! You must have lots of different collections to be able to have this many "p"s! Thank you for sharing!
I am so in love with vintage everything! I love that PM ad - oh, the ways they marketed themselves - and the dolls and just everything! Great post, thanks for sharing all of these wonderful things!
What a lovely set of P's! I enjoyed seeing all your things, especially the dolls. My grandmother hand-knit a lot of doll clothes for my many dolls when I was growing up. I still have them packed away, since my boys weren't really interested. Perhaps I'll have a granddaughter one day.
What a perfect P post. it gave me Plenty of Pleasure. You did a great job finding all these P's. Wonderful.
I don't know where you come up with all these great ideas, but I certainly enjoy your posts!
Thanks for sharing....
Nice work with the P's!! I love all of your dolls...I kept dolls when I was little and would love to get back into it. Whats a doll show? That sounds really fun and right up my alley:) Love the vintage ads too!
what pretty pink ladies :D
Wow, I am positively amazed at all your wonderful "P's" and the great photos!
The dress your Mom made was so neat. What a great memory for you for always.
And plethora has always been my favorite word!
I really enjoyed my stop here on Alphabe-Thursday's journey through the Letter "P"!
I would like to give you not only an A+ for the week but to also assign you as library aide for the entire week!
Thanks for making this meme so memorable!
What a joy & pleasure to visit you. Your home must be a treasure trove of wonderful and dear vintage things... paradise. :)
