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 . . .

Pinkies Rule on Saturdays~ PINK SATURDAY!

Hello Pink Lovers!

It's Pink Saturday and a basket full of Thank you's go to Beverly of
HOW SWEET THE SOUND
for hosting the get together each week!!
Join in the fun and visit as many of the pink party peep participants as you possibly as you can!
And if you haven't entered my giveaways yet there is still time so please check out the links on the sidebar and add your name!!

My first pink selection this week is a most charming vintage french pink enamel swirl teapot . . . sans lid! It has a bit of wear which I think only adds to its charming history. I've added some vintage lace and pink parchment roses and doesn't it make a sweet display :-)

Here is a favorite antique quilt made in the classic Rose of Sharon pattern. Appliqued by hand and handquilted it has 2 pretty pinks for the roses and 2 perfect minty greens for the stems and leaves. I dont know what I was thinking but I sold this on ebay a couple years ago ~ sigh . . .

The sweetest handpainted roses, daisies and violets cover this enchanting lidded container. You may think it looks like a powder jar . . . but open it and . . .

it was filled with vintage cotton balls! And pink ones!! Much different from todays cottonballs - these are big and kind of "rolled" round and round with layers of the softest fluff.

I love vintage Lefton pieces and this set is so cute with the handpainted pink roses on a gorgeous 1940's shade of green. It goes perfect with my Jadite collection!!

And lastly but not leastly are 2 of my handmades! A beautiful Victorian lady pillow and embellished bottle featuring 3 sisters or friends on the label.
Thank you so much for your visit and sharing some of my pink treasures today!!
Enjoy a Pink~A~licious weekend :-)
Hugs and Smiles,
