Kelli at There’s No Place Like Home created and hosts a fun activity called “Show and Tell Friday,” asking folks to share something special, perhaps a “a trinket from grade school, a piece of jewelry, an antique find,” something old or new.
I mentioned a couple of weeks ago that I collect Boyd’s Bear figurines (though I really don’t like the new “Pleasantville” ones). One of their lines is called Dollstones, and over the years my husband has given me a few of those. I just love these portrayals of scenes in the life of little girls, and being from Boyd’s, they always have a bear in the scene somewhere. I love the detail and the sweetness and femininity of each piece.
This was my very first one:
I think this might be the most recent one. I was trying at one time to collect some of the Boyd’s figurines that reflected some of my interests, and I used to do a lot of needlework.
I don’t have a little girl to enjoy these with. Maybe I’ll have granddaughters one day.
If you’d like to see or participate in “Show and Tell Friday,” visit There’s No Place Like Home.

These are precious. I especially love the little girl on the vanity stool applying lipstick. I bet a granddaughter will adore these someday..

Those are beautiful. I have seen the bears before, but never this collection with girls. I want these:)
I hope that you one day have grand-daughters to share them with.

I loved the last two…reminds me of growing up and getting into my aunt’s makeup and if there were more than one gal playing dressup it could be me and my sisters…thanks for sharing this I had never heard of Dollstones…
🙂
I’ve seen the bears before, but not the dollstones. They are beautiful! I love all the detail. What a lovely treasure you have.
Thanks for stopping by today!
Oh those are adorable. I’ve never seen them. So precious. No wonder you collect them.

Those are so cute! A little girl would really love them.
What a fun carnival to join! I always enjoy getting to know people better and what better way than to see what they collect and what they hold dear to their heart.
Have a happy and fabulous weekend!
Beautiful keepsakes! I am not familiar with this particular Boyd’s collection. It is very feminine.
I just found you through Sow and Tell–I;ll be back later to red more.
What an adorable collection! I’ve heard and seen the Boyd’s Bears collection but had never heard of the dollstones ones…they truly are gorgeous!! xo
Those are so sweet, Barbara! I love the little girl with the lipstick…too cute!

Enjoy your weekend ~

they are beautiful I especially like the 3rd doll
I love your boys bears collection. They are so cute!
The picture of the girl applying lipstick is my favourite. And each one of them is beautiful!
Such lovely figurines. I love the third one. It reminded me when I was a young girl and I became curious with my mom’s makeup.
