Happy Pink Saturday

While my father was in Italy fighting in WWII, my grandfather was at home relieving some of his stress embroidering. He embroidered this twin bedcover. The pink has faded but the embroidery threads look to be as vibrant as the day he stitched them.

I have no twin bed to use it on and its faded and discolored in places. I have wondered should I cut it up and make some type of altered art and give each sibling a peice..or should I keep it in it's aged appearance. What would you do?

Beautiful...inside and out

I woke up this morning to these beautiful skies and another bud on my orchid bloomed. A beautiful morning indeed!!!

It's the small things that make me happy!

My Pink Lady

Let me introduce you to Sweet Anne, a Royal Doulton figurine that once belonged to my Grandmother. I am so happy to have this possession that once graced my Grandmothers home.

The little flower ceramic on the right of Anne once belonged to my grandmother also. I love having these sentimental reminders of her.

Have a Happy Pink Saturday and for more pink visit Beverly at http://howsweetthesound.typepad.com/

And the Winner of Pink Saturdays Giveaway is...

Kymber!! Congratulations..hope you enjoy it!

Milk Glass

I have recently been adding to my small collection of milk glass. These are a few of my favorite pieces. The pretty vase on the right I won in the 60's at a Chinese auction. I attended it with my grandmother, mother and sister. I think it is the very first thing I ever won! A few years ago I found the covered dish that matches for 10$ at a garage sale. The taller vase was an antique shop find for 12$ and I bought the ruffled dish on ebay and I can't remember the price, but knowing me it was a bargain!
Milk glass is very inexpensive and a great thing to collect if you don't have much to spend.

Pink Saturday Giveaway

This is my second Pink Saturday and I had so much fun participating in Beverly's Pink Saturday http://howsweetthesound.typepad.com/ last week and had so many nice people visit my little blog that I decided this would be a great time for a pink give-a-way.

This is a sweet pink estate sale find and I hope it finds a new pink home!

Just leave a comment that you would like to participate in the giveaway and I'll pick the winner by putting the comment numbers in a bag and drawing a winner.

Happy Pink Saturday!!!

My Breakfast Companions

Each morning I enjoy looking out my window at the suet feeder to see who has come to join me for breakfast. Today's guest was this beautiful woodpecker.

If I had to choose,
I would rather have birds
than airplanes.
