FEBRUARY CELEBRATIONS

 
HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!
Yes, this is a potato chip, Cool huh?
(I ate it! LOL) 
 


Black History Minis!
Some of you may remember some of these pictures from two years ago on Vansdolltreasures. I  am still as enchanted with these real life minis as much as I was when I shared them with her. I didn't post them on my blog then, so I will do it this year in honor of Black History Month. There were even more this year. It was so hard to pick! These are the ones I decided on.
 
 See how many you can identify before looking at the names. If you don't know the people they are portraying...why not google them!
 
Next month, I will do the same for Women's History month. Please stop by and support Eunique Jones at Eunique's Photography for more cuteness! I am trying to decide which product I will purchase.
 
Wouldn't these be cute in mini scale dolls?
 
 Especially check out, the lead-in video of girls reciting Maya Angelou!! SO CUTE!

    LOL Grandmommy, the potato chip, you could have knocked me out with a feather!
    The kids are so cute, I love these, I was only able to get Malcom X, Dr King and Bob Marley, but I should at least have recognized Mohamed Ali and Frederick Douglas, too!
    Kisses Billa

    I love the photos! I would add Amelia Robinson (she is portrayed in " Selma."), a brave woman who marched in Selma and is still kicking at 91. I also would add Hulan Jack, the first African American elected to office in NYC in the 1950s.

      Oops, Amelia Robinson is 103, not 91.

    Without peeking I could tell who 9 of them were supposed to be. I never ever would have guessed Kerry Washington. I don't watch Scandal and I wasn't seeing her as a black innovator, but I guess her lead and female role is innovative in this day and age.

      Hey there Muff!
      You are GOOD! I never watched Scandal either. Kerry is in entertainment and on probably the most watched show these days. I pretty much put her there because the little girl was cute and I didn't see Shonda Rhimes who created that show and several others.
