Hand Painted Roses & More for PINK SATURDAY

Again we welcome that special day set aside for lovers of all things pink ~ PINK SATURDAY!!
Visit our sweet hostess Beverly at HOW SWEET THE SOUND to say thank you for your kindest generosity and find a long list of other pink party goers!
And I hope you'll stick around to the end to see the details of my latest giveaway and perhaps you will want to enter :-)

My pretty in pinks today start with 2 of my very favorite pieces featuring handpainted roses! This biggie is almost 3 feet wide and painted by Ronda Juniper Ray on an old chippy window pane. Isn't is fabulous! It is painted on glass and in the background you'll see soft pink names of popular rose varieties.

Can't you just smell their rosey yumminess!

Next are more pink roses painted on a stained glass panel with pink glass! I still remember finding this at the Kane Country Flea Market in St. Charles, IL for 10 bucks! I looked it over and over trying to find some crack or flaw that would justify such a bargain but it was perfect! I was happy to hand over the full price without even attempting to wheel and deal :-)

Sigh . . . . .


The pair of pics above are 2 loose fitting blouses that I made with vintage chenille and 40's fabric with pink roses. They are cute to wear over a tee shirt with jeans for a pop of color! I had a space in an antique shop called The Bountiful Barn and sold handmades along with antiques and collectibles. Part of the space rental was working there 2 days a week - I did LOVE having first dibs on all the new items the dealers brought in but during the day all I was thinking was how many things I could be making if I was home HA!!
I"m sure anyone who sells antiques, etc knows that the hardest part is finding things to sell that you don't want to keep for yourself :-) Anyway - I left awhile back and never regretted that decision for a second!!

A sweet lap quilt that I made for myself with a really lovely "quilted" like fabric with huge pink roses as the focal point.

I featured this teacup in my last Teacup Tuesday post and it is my very favorite pattern called Petite! I found another cup and saucer on ebay and the seller had lots of other pieces inherited from his grandmother and was so generous to let me have them for a song!
I have almost a complete setting for 9 plus lots of extra salad plates . . . and 26 cups and saucers!
Can a true China-A-holic ever have enough ;-)

The elusive teapot!
And below - such dainty curves . . .

    "Can a true China-A-holic ever have enough ;-)"
    In my humble opinion, No!

  6. Aaaahhhhh, Lynn, I love Ronda's painting also. My daughter has one so next time we're in California I'm going to try and talk her out of it, sweetpea. The jackets are adorable, too! My goodness, you've been as busy as I have been.

  7. What darling jackets and the quilt is precious. I saw on another blog where they took children's clothing in pastel colors and made the cutest little quilt using squares of the clothing that maybe had an applique, or ruffles, or such- so cute and great way to use clothes that are stain or torn.

  9. What a Great post of Pinks Lynn! The blouse jackets are a knockout, I have always love the different materials and patterns mixed, it always comes out SO sweet on dresses too and the lap quilt is something I would love to have. The color pink on your china is gorgeous and so is your stain glass window, the roses are perfect on it.

    Hey Girl, I was wondering did you get my email, concerning my win on the Stocking? Let me know one way or another. Thanks.

    Have a Wonderful Day*

  10. Hi Lynn,
    Oh my all your goodies are just so gorgeous! I love those tops! I have seen a vendor at a Summer Art Fair locally that made chenille skirts and jackets that I just adore! Do you sell those anymore? or have you thought of selling skirts with chenille? There's just something about vintage chenille that does my heart good! I have a few spreads I just don't think I could cut up tho!
    I hope you will be able to stop by my blog as I am having a giveaway and would love to have you enter!

  11. Well I know what I will be doing today...just sitting here scrolling up & down to absorb your ~BEAUTIFUL~ pinks. Those window pane panels must be lovely with sunlight coming through them. I know they look fabulous in your Prairie Home :)

    Now I am getting addicted to that Olde Chelsea Petite china. It's like I want to pour coffee out of that sweet pot, and eat tons of finger foods off those plates.

    And lastely if I lose a tiny bit more weight, I shall need to commission you to make me one of those blouse-tops.

    Have a great "PINK" week, creating.
