PINK Saturday Goodies

Many thanks to our Sweet PINK Saturday Hostess, Beverly! There you will find a lovely list of those participating in PINK Saturday! Believe me, there are so many pretties and so many Wonderful Fun people participating you will want to visit them all!

This is a display I change out frequently. That vanity belonged to my GMom and was given to me at her passing. I love it as much as she did. One thing about GMom, she wasn't afraid to paint something. This, she painted a dark brown. It is old as dirt, probably given to her by her MIL as so many of her things were. I've never repainted it as it seems the darker tones better highlight my pretties...but I constantly think it should be White or Pink and probably will be one day soon, cause I am SO ready for a new look!



Pink...it is stunning and highlights those colors around it. I added just a Whisper of Pinks to this arrangement and I love the difference it makes. I believe the Pink pulls it from the background to a stand alone piece, don't you?



From the 40's, stamped Made in USA, this is one of my favorite Pink pieces.



This is a lamp, I bought it to make a tassel,then decided I liked it better as a lamp. The roses are so delicate and the prettiest shade of pink. The greens and golds are just my favorite and the oyster shade of white was the perfect subtle background.



My favorite shades of Pinks are in this arrangement, I just love looking at the subtle shade changes from pink to pale lavender or a rich toned rose.



This is one of my favorite Rose pieces, I just love it. I painted it for sale and the sealer bubbled slightly so I kept it and have enjoyed it so much.



I hope you enjoyed my Pink Pretties.....Click here and go look at all the other PINK Saturday Goodies!

    That is one absolutely beautiful display of pinks. I agree about the contrast of the display against the vanity. It really looks pretty!

    Happy Pink Saturday, Melissa.

    I love the piece from your grandmother. I don't think I would change the color. All of your pretty pieces stand out so nicely against it.

    Do you still paint china?
