My bathing beauties.

I bought these at a Little Rock yard sale one summer while I was visiting my parents. There were four of them — I broke the fourth on the way out to the car. I love that. That’s my favorite, when that happens. Something has existed in perfect shape for fifty years and I have it in my hot little hands for thirty seconds and manage to break it in half.

I just love these. They are so delicate (hence the immediate breakage). They’re no bigger than two inches.  Each one has a different tiny bathing suit on. Look at the little bow on the bathing suit bottoms of the one in the middle…and the curve of their calves. I’m flummoxed by their hair though! Two of them have grey updos. It just seems an odd contrast to their sassy little bathing suits.

I paid a quarter each of them. Worth every penny.
