ribbons and bows

It is time for Pink Saturday again--hosted by Beverly each and every week!

This week I am sharing a little pocket purse I cross-stitched many years ago for my little girl. It is worked on very fine Irish linen and her initials, S for Sarah are done in pink. I have always loved the little tiny baby buttons, also in pink. I think I gave her this for Valentine's Day one year, and I am not really sure why I have it here in my house, hanging on my bedroom mirror instead of in her place! It you are reading this Sarah girl, let me know if you want it back! :)

Happy Pink Saturday everyone--be sure to click the link above so you can check out other pink spotlight posts.

pink saturday

Saturday means pink! This is another little teacup from my collection--I shared a blue one a couple of months ago for Blue Monday-(here)

This is one that I purchased at a thrift store a month or so ago. I surprised to find it there as this thrift store doesn't usually have complete cup and saucer sets and if they do they mark them way up. This one they didn't and it was way less then if I had found it in an antique store where they tend to mark things way up!

Thanks to Beverly for hosting Pink Saturday each week. I love finding pink things to share!

Saturday is time for Pink! It is hosted by Beverly and if you visit her blog you will find many links to pink things!


I was taking a walk down memory lane and found this picture of my little girl, Sarah. I made this little pink dress for her and this picture was taken on the last day of school, in 2nd grade. That little girl is 25 years old now, is married, and has her own blog. (that cute little boy is 23 now and will be graduating college this spring)

(click the photo to enlarge--then you can really see all those little pink flowers in her dress)

pink and a little blue

This is a little tea towel I found recently at an antique mall. Not only do I love the lovely little pink flowers, but I also fell in love with the dainty blue crocheted edging.

It is time for Pink Saturday again!
Pink Saturday is simple and fun to play along. Just post a picture of something pink! It is hosted each week by Beverly and you can get more details by clicking on her name above.




My picture is of something I found in a thrift store several years ago and was so very thrilled to find it. It is a framed picture of little tatted flowers. This was so thrilling to me because my little grandma Aeline, who passed away 16 years ago, was a needlework woman--knitting, crocheting, needle point and best of all tatting--practically a lost art. She would tat these little flowers and mount them on little stationary note cards, draw leaves and stems with a very fine point pen and then sell them in little gift shops. They were adorable and I was always enthralled by them.
Sadly, by the time I really wanted to learn to tat, she had suffered a pretty extensive stroke, and while she could still knit, crochet and tat, it was too difficult for her to teach me. It has taken me a very long time to forgive my aunt (her daughter) for not sending me Grandma's tatting stuff after she passed away--she has always claimed she couldn't find it, but I have a hard time believing that as Grandma's stuff was always very organized. She had a beautiful tortoiseshell shuttle (which I have never seen another like it) and lots and lots of the thin little thread you use in tatting.

Anyway---here is my little framed picture which I happened upon quite by accident in a thrift store.

Seeing Pink

Pink Saturday is here! This is a picture of a birthday cake I purchased for the birthday party we had for my little Grandma Hattie last April. She turned 90!

This is my vintage pink handkerchief. It is only 1, (shown with a white one), out of my extensive collection. I love them and have them draped across the top of my dresser mirror and piled in a glass dish on my dresser top. I have even started my daughter collecting them.

Here is my *pink* for the day. Little pink rosebuds blooming in my front yard last week. Still trying to hang on to summer, although our weather has been thoroughly announcing that it is Autumn!
