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,

Lynn

  3. Oh Lynn..I don't know what you were thinking either when you sold that dear quilt. Of all the handmade quilts I have had over the years from my family my very favorite pattern is Rose of Sharon..and to see it in these colors is just making me over the top jealous to know that someone out there has it and not me! Ha! Hugs, Abbie

  13. Thank you for once again sharing your lovely pink treasures that reside in your sweet Prairie Home.
    If you hadn't mentioned the sugar & creamer to be Lefton I would have thought they were RS Prussia. That was an awesome find.

    Have a great week, creating..You know I am always on the "look out" for more pretties :)

  16. I don't know where to begin, I loved it all, that cotton ball container is awesome, and I have never seen vintage cotton balls. Where in the world did you find those. I have the same lefton cream and sugar and also the teapot, cups and saucers but they are a browish background with the roses on them. Loved you great PINK post.

  17. Oh, my, but everything is beautiful!!

    Pink and green is my favorite combination of colors. Green is actually my favorite color, and when it's paired with pink, I kind of go nuts. LOVE IT!! So, the creamer and sugar and the quilt are my favorites. (But everything is gorgeous).

    Anyhow, have a happy pink Saturday.

    Blessings,

  28. Beautiful pinks today. I have to say that there is nothing worse than getting rid of something so beautiful and having regrets later. Sadly, that has happened to me many times with things that once belonged to my grandmother. There is nothing we can do about it but it makes for some sad memories. I always try and think twice before I let something go now....Happy Pink Saturday, Char

  29. I just love your different pinks. How wonderful is that painted jar with the pink cottonballs? A real treasure. As is the French teapot. You have some lovely things. Happy Pink Saturday!

  30. Hi Lynn,
    You have such a way of making everything so sweet, soft and lovely. The roses in the teapot are wonderful and it's hard to believe they are made from parchment!

    I know the feeling about selling something you wished you'd kept, but that's the nature of our business. That quilt made someone very happy.

    Happy Pink Saturday.

    hug,
    Sissie

  37. wow! I enjoyed this post very much. I really like the quilt. Don't you just kick yourself for getting rid of stuff sometimes? I've done it a few times.. thought that I wouldn't need or want an item any more and get rid of it, only to miss it a few weeks or months later. *sigh* Oh well.
    Happy Pink Saturday, thanks for the lovely pink post!

    I love the swirled enamel teapot, the vintage container with the pink cotton balls and the Lefton pieces. I think I used to have a small plate but must have lost it in my many moves.

  42. How gorgeous to see all these beautiful pink things. I can see why you are sad you sold your quilt on ebay. It is amazing- so much work and detail. I really like the wall paper in this room too. I hope to have some of your cushions soon to put on the quilt and bed in the guest room.
