It was a tale of unrequited love during my latest treasure hunt.
I found this lady sitting on the edge of a shelf.
Where was her man? I swear I spent an hour looking for him, certain he had gotten cold feet and was an aisle or two over. No such luck.
She originally belonged to a set of vintage circa 1950s porcelain kissing bride and groom salt and pepper shakers that sat on a wooden bench. But alas, sometimes love goes awry or simply falls off of the kitchen counter. Made in Japan.
And then I came across this sweet Miss.
I checked her back to see if at one point she had wings as I’ve seen little ceramic angels similar to her. No wings. No one to kiss. She stands about 3 inches high and has an oval paper Made in Japan sticker.
Who is this young lass singing her heart out to?
She’s quite tall, about 7 ½ inches, and wears the cutest pink and white polka dotted scarf and skirt. Also made in Japan. Call me crazy, as many have and still do, but doesn’t her cute face remind you of Michelle Williams?
I can’t quite tell if that is supposed to be a violin or tiny guitar. I’ve always been a bit jealous of the musically inclined but feel bad for this gal. Her duet partner is MIA.
My weekly artistic creation didn’t quite pan out since this is birthday time so I will instead include the card Paige painted for me. Enjoy!
