My Pink Truck

Did I have you fooled? I would love to have a pink truck, but my husband uses both our trucks for the farm and they're under the farm account. Not so sure he'd o.k. one of them being pink. I have thought of detailing the Black Ford Ranger with pink striped to match the camper though. I was at an antique store a couple of weeks ago and came across this little fun toy truck for $6. Couldn't pass it up. It will be fun to use at the holidays for a little display-mini pumkins, little Christmas trees, maybe with a little dip jar on a dessert table. You get the idea.
I'm linking up with Beverly for lots more pink: http://howsweetthesound.typepad.com/my_weblog/

    Happy Pink Saturday Rebecca Sweetie...
    Oh what a precious share today. I love the little Pink Tonka truck and I do NOT remember them ever making a pink one, so sweetie this has to be really old or else a one season deal they did at Christmas for the girls. I LOVE it.

    I can just see if full of pumpkins, or I was thinking even acorns. Cute, cute, cute, and how cute it would be on the table as a dip holder. You are so creative sweet friend.

    Oh thanks for sharing today. I have had so much fun, and by the way I love the idea of the pink stripes to match the camper. A little pink never hurt anyone.

    Hope your day is beautiful sweetie. Do something fun and creative today. Country hugs and much love, Sherry

    As always I love your Pink Saturday! I had to
    laugh as I owned a 1995 Ford Ranger pick up
    which I loved! When we moved to our new condo
    (painted pink, no joke!) they did not allow
    trucks, so it had to go. I told my husband
    I wanted to paint it pink just to park it out
    front, if even for a day! I never did! I
    still miss that truck!

    Thank you for a fun post!

    I think my previous post disappeared so I'll give it another try. (You may get Two)

    My son had a tonka truck that looked like this one in the late 1970's. Wonder where it is today?????? I love your display idea.

    Happy Pink Saturday.

    Yes, you did have me! I couldn't wait to see it with your creativity! What a cute little guy. I think he will be wonderful to use in so many ways, and maybe he will be the inspiration to get that pink truck started!
    Have a lovely Pink Saturday.

    I suggest you leave your hubby's trucks alone. These fellows have a passion for their trucks. Just redo this little toy and share it later on.

    Happy belated PINK Saturday
    Well wouldn't that be something if your hubby drove a pink truck like that...hmmm...probably a good idea this is just a truck you picked up while thrifting...or antiquing. It is sooo sweet and I bet you'll have a great display with it.
    it was so nice to have you visit me...hope you'll be back again..soon.

    I love to visit you, I love all your pink stuff, I have an old jeep that we kept when we bought the new SUV, and I want to paint it Pink, but I don't think Hubby will let me. I would love to have an old pink pickup, we live on a farm too.
    Have a great Week

    I just found your blog and I am swooning. Lurve everything.
    I recently bought a 1957 trailer (300$) that has pink counters. Naturally I am planning of a pink and white exterior and pink and white vinyl seats.
    Are you going to share interior pictures of your trailer?
