IT'S TIME FOR SOME PINK SATURDAY PINKS!

Greetings to all whirling thru The PINK SATURDAY Blog-a-sphere today! Heartfelt thanks go to Beverly at HOW SWEET THE SOUND for hosting the party each week!!

Please stop by my previous post HERE see my latest giveaway for a pair of sweet lavender stocking sachets!!

Today I chose an eclectic selection of pinkies to share starting with one of my big Antique Steiff Teddy Girls. This old gal is over 100 years old and needs a pair of elegant specs to see you better :-) I have a large collection of vintage hats for the ladies to wear when they feel like playing dressup. Today this Miss poses with a fun pillbox style with handmade rolled ribbon roses - pink ribbon roses of course.Next is a rare french enamel tea strainer. Pink handpainted enamel trim and little posies dot here and there. Isn't the curled handle sweet? The pink teacup is home for a baby african violet.

Now here is something your pink tootsies would surely love! A vintage Dr. Scholls Electric FOOT MASSAGER. A foot massage in shabby chic style . . . ahhhhhhhhhh

Isn't this the sweetest vintage elastic! Its pink with silkscreened pink roses and buds.

And a gorgeous handpainted Bavarian handled platter. I love the shade of tealy blue mixed in.

And it's TIME to leave this Pink Saturday today . . . so the last but not least item is a vintage wallpocket planter where sweet pink lovebirds live in an adorable pink cottage shaped cuckoo clock in a world where it is always 3 minutes past 5 :-)
I enjoyed sharing with you today - please visit again soon!!
Hugs and Sweet Blessings,
Lynn

This week I am linking up with MARTHA and TERRI for their Teacup Tuesday party so please jump on over and see all the other teacup lovers!


I have been so lucky and blessed to have won a couple giveaways since I started blogging in March this year and check out this GORGEOUS teapot and teacup combination called a Tea for One!! This was such a generous giveaway offered by sweet Denise at ALL OVER ROSES and my number was picked!! It was a special giveaway in honor of her cutie poochie Miss Sophie's 15th birthday :-) Yippee!! Yahoo!! isnt it the cutest ever in the perfect pinks with roses that are very Catherine Klein-ish don't you think? This is my first T-4-1 and you can see how the little teapot stacks perfectly on the cup. Notice the pink rose on the left? Denise tucked it in the beautifully wrapped package with a lovely note and would you believe it's soap! Not one bit soapy smelling - just yummy rose!

It was decorated by Betty Platner for Porcelain Treasures.

In a previous Teacup Tuesday I shared with you one of my very favorite china patterns ~ Myott Staffordshire England Olde Chelsea Petite. You can see it by clicking here. I've been fortunate to find the teapot I've been searching for and isn't it the sweetest!!

Oh so curvy swervy dainty and delicate!

Next is one of my handmade PinCushion Confections featuring a beary cute teddy sharing a cup of tea with you :-) She will be listed on ebay later today and the angel pillow in the background is available now! Click here to see my current listings . . .


Thank you for your visit today ~ I have some beautiful Shelley Chintz to show you next week and hope you'll come back to see!!

Hugs and Smiles,

This pattern has to be right up at the top of my favorites list! This vintage set has sweet cottage styling in shades of pink and cream. Made by Myott Staffordshire England Olde Chelsea in the Petite pattern.

Charming swirly design with bands of the perfect pink and light cream with circles of the sweetest pink cabbage roses! Shown here is a teacup and saucer, lidded sugar bowl and creamer.

Lovely delicate handle shapes!

It's TEACUP TUESDAY Again!

It is time again for TEACUP TUESDAY and thank you to Martha and Terri for
hosting the teaparty!
I love the sweet cottagey charm of vintage 1930-40's Homer Laughlin China and I am
again this week sharing another of their patterns. This one is called GEORGIAN . . . it came
in soft pastels and this is the pink. Very simple in design with bands of solid pink, 24K gold
trim and floral transfer featuring pink roses and forget-me-not flowers.

I would LOVE an entire service of this but to date only have 2 cups and 3 saucers.

How cute displayed with an embellished strawberry sachet :-)

I don't have a cup and saucer in the blue but do have the creamer and sugar!

Thank you so much for visiting me and sharing your Teacup Tuesday!!

Pretty New Things Made Just for You!

Happy Saturday to all my new blogger buddies!
I have been a busy bee working on so many projects and thought you just might like
a peek at what I've been up to!
It's been a couple months since I've offered a fancy schmancy embellished bottle
and I have 6 new ones made to list!
I found some really neat heart shaped glass bottles to work with and for the
ROMANTIC ROSES BOTTLE
seen below I created a pink rose wreath label featuring my favorite Southern Belle image
in the center . . . if you've ever been to my auctions you have surely seen
LOTS of her - hehe
This one will be on eBay Sunday and just may be my fav - - - if I was FORCED to choose
that is :-) I hope its a keeper for someone!

Also new is another PinCushion Confection (#172) and features
MISS SARAH TEDDIES TEAPARTY
She is a sweet fuzzy wuzzy teddy who would love to share a cup of tea with you!
Be sure to see my eBay auctions Sunday and perhaps
she will come to your home!

Wishing everyone a SPLENDID SATURDAY filled with things you love to do!

"What a splendid day! I pity people who aren't yet born for
missing it.
They may have good days, of course, BUT they will never have
THIS one."
