Pink Saturday

Happy PINK!!!

I went to a local rummage sale this morning. We were a bit early and there was already a line at the door. As soon as we were let in, the people were swarming like bees! I usually don't hit this type of sale this early and it was funny to watch, and a bit frustrating. People can be greedy. They didn't have much, I only got one old platter. Which didn't fill my need to shop so we hit the Goodwill next where my Aunt found 5 of these plate for me.

The pattern is called Southern Belle by Nasco and is accented with 22 carat gold. Quite pretty I thought. I found a few other goodies too but the guy in line behind me started chatting up a storm and got me so distracted I forgot to use my 10% off coupon. Drat. He is a dedicated shopper, shows up every day. He had to tell me about all the Goodwill's within a 90 mile radius and which ones have the best stuff.  Then there was the lady that had an entire basket of junk in her cart. Come to find out she sells on Ebay and Etsy. Now I know why I haven't been able to find anything there all Winter. Not only do you have to compete with all the local vendors but the online sellers as well. It's tough out there!

Wishing you a Happy Pink Saturday and a big thank you to Beverly from How Sweet The Sound for hosting for us every week!

Pink Saturday~Fantasy Furniture

Happy Pink!

I think it's been a month since I've done the pink and I missed it! So today I'm sharing a couple pretty pieces of fancy fantasy pieces. I just love this chair, the colors are so pretty and it looks so very squishy! The best kind of chair in my opinion.

This petite writing desk is beautiful as well.

Then there is this less fancy piece that is  more in my reality zone. I have a dresser very similar to this I've been thinking about painting. It's a family piece, 70 or 80 years old and has a dark stain finish. It's structurally very sound,  only missing one knob! However it does have some scratches and the top it marked up quite a bit. If I were to paint it, I would paint it white or cream. Any thoughts? Do you consider it sacrilige to paint over wood, antique family heirloom wood at that?!

Thank you to our Beverly who hosts our Pink Saturday for us each week, whether we show
up or not! You can find all the pink links at her blog How Sweet The Sound.

Have a Happy Pink Saturday and have a terrific weekend!

Spring Where Are You?

I need some sunshine.

 I need some flowers. 

I need some color in this gloomy cycle we're stuck in. 

There is still a month of dreary Winter left.

I would be willing to skip Spring and go straight to Summer.

Is that possible Mother Nature?

Yeah, I thought not.

Just PLEASE hurry with some warmer weather,

some lightness,

some brightness!

I'm STARVING for some sun!
