A Sweet Pink Saturday

I look forward to Saturdays because I get to share the beautiful pink things that have made their way into my life over the years......and for someone that really didn't like this color for the majority of my life, I find it very curious that I now have so very much of it.....hmmm, gotta wonder what that's all about.....

This is an old wooden box I made over 15 years ago. It is covered in antique tea stained laces and adorned with my Grandmother's broken costume jewelry. The beaded pieces are from my daughter's competition skating dresses. The jewelry had so much meaning and the beading was just priceless as it represents so much time and so many memories. The box holds a journal I wrote in during a very difficult year of my life.....it's all just very precious to me for so many different reasons.

And, of course, my absolute favorite saying......

Then there is my collection of crocheted hearts.....although I have over 50, these are the only two pink ones, and my favorites as well.

This sweet little lavender organza sachet is something I'm making to attach to clothing hangers for your closet as they are a natural moth repellant.

Then there is my reproduction "wannabe" yard long Paul De Longpre. I have always wanted one of the antique lithographs in it's original frame, but just can't make myself pay that much for the water stained pieces on Ebay. Maybe I'll just buy a Christie Repasey instead......one of these days ;)

I thank Beverly, our wonderful weekly host, for keeping up with all the "pinks and participants." If you share our love of the color pink, use the button on my sidebar and see what the others have for you this week.....it's always like a big pink hug!

A Potpourri of Saturday Pinks......

Welcome to another Saturday where we all share our beautiful pinks with the world. Because I don't like to simply scan photos from magazines, as I think we can all read our favorite magazines on our own.....I sometimes have a mishmash of things to share...which is the case today. When a friend dropped by last week she brought me a stack of vintage and antique linens, and I was pleased to get them, regardless of what they were. When you define yourself as a "bottom feeder", as I define myself, you appreciate anything and find beauty in everything. At the bottom of the stack I found this sweet hanky holder. It was begging for something pink, so it got one of my had dyed velvet and silk millinery roses.....

Full of vintage pink rose hankies, all with their original price tags indicating they once cost a whole 17 cents each

And another item in the shoppe is a vintage jewelry box with a mixed media altered art cover..

Open it up and it's "full of pink".

This precious vintage crocheted napkin holder is just the epitome of "sweet".....I love it.

I thank our host, Beverly, for putting Pink Saturday together each and every week.....If you want to see more wonderful pinks, just use the button on my sidebar to visit the other participants this week.
