~ Pink Saturday Antique Shopping ~
Pink Roses galore & more ... how could I EVER pass
up this beautiful lamp! Not! $2.00 I tell you. In
mint condition ... you ask what will I do with this, I
will find some place within the house to enjoy it.
Don't you just love each elegant Pink petal.
Thank you Miss Beverly for hostessing this fabulous
pink gathering every Saturday. Please join the other
wonderful pink ladies @
http://howsweetthesound.typepad.com/
Now you DO know me & hats. I fell in
love with this Pink beauty. Sherry, look
at all those Red hats ... I thought of you.
Just happened to pass by a couple of yard sales ... did you hear me! Yup! we actually stopped knowing full well we'd find na-da! Surprise!, this one actually had some little goodies. A tuffet for $2 will get a new dressing for a young princess ...
look at those wee match boxes for a friend
& some hand sewn potholders, a wee
Patriotic Boyd's Bear ...
A couple of tea rests for 10 cents, a
gorgeous German cookie plate for $1.00
& German biscuit plate for $1.00. Am I doing good now? I was tickled Pink since
I am always Pink with envy all you gals lovely finds every week.
Now let's go to the shops ...
a little Pink purse ... I left behind
or two ... just adorable.
a Pink gem stone ... too big for my finger.
A wee bit of Pink heels to kick up ...
and a Pink howdy pardner to you
or a darling Pink chic hat
Elegance in Pink pale for that evening out
A lovely Pink vintage bed jacket to slip
into after that long evening out
As you have Pink magical memories of your
lovely time together with musical moments
& Dearie ...
I share one last Pink hat to bid you
adieu
Before I get into a Pink prickly situation.

You got a great deal on those plates! If I find vintage plates for $1.00, it's because they are broken. The rose lamp is very lovely too. I'm sure you'll find a wonderful spot in your home for it!

Happy Pink Saturday Marydon,
ReplyDeleteWow, you did score some beauties there, esp. the plates. I would have bought those with no problem.
The little purses are very cute, my grand daughters would love those.
Yes, the hats are nice, but your new lamp is the cats pjs.
Did you know you could eat those prickly pears from that cactus? Yes you can.
Happy Pink Saturday, Char
Hello dear Marydon, your post is always a delight and today's shopping trip was fun and PINK. You are so cute in the hat and you have lovely taste with the things you chose to share with us today.
ReplyDeleteIt is good to be home and visiting my Pinkie friends again.

Lord, Marydon, I need to shop with you since you are doing all the good. It's so dang hot here in central Texas I wouldn't even leave the house for Free Cheese!
ReplyDeleteI'm trying to not be jealous of your finds. Good job!!! Thanks for stopping by on Pink Saturday. I'll add your name to the hat for the drawing for the giftaway Pink Altered Book. Have a Pink Week from start to finish.
That lamp was the deal of the day. Next time when you come into town we'll look at my Bavarian china. Swoon.
ReplyDeleteDid I tell you I put my lovely little cup right next to my bed? I walk up to the sight of it every morning and am SO happy. Thank you my friend.
Marydon- I can only leave comments on the pop out ones! Thank goodness you use that so I can tell you how cute you are in those hats and I sure hope you took those plates home with you!
ReplyDeleteHugs- Tete
How could anybody get rid of that beautiful lamp? And for $2, she was giving it away. Lucky you for finding it, Marydon. I love the plates, so pretty. And you look lovely in a hat!...Christine
ReplyDeleteHi Marydon, You sure hit the jackpot with the great finds. Love it all and the plates are gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteSure love Gracie's recipie for roast beef. So funny!
Your travels were a joy to view. Each post so informative and makes me feel like I was there.
We have that same tex mex resturant here. So yummy!
Thank you for stopping by and your anniversary wishes. Good luck in my givewaway.
Lots of love, Celestina Marie
The cactus is my favorite, it would be coming from Texas as I do. You have a lovely blog and I am interested in what you can do with feed sacks. I don't find them in Holland. I'm now looking at pink everywhere I go. Strange. xxoo Jenny
ReplyDeleteMarydon, I love those cute plates the best,oh I almost forgot the lamp...what a find !! Good shopping girl. Smiles, Susie
ReplyDeleteI love the pink geode. That would've been my choice for the day.
ReplyDeletePink's my favorite color! Love so many of these items. The rose plates remind me of a few pieces I have. Have a great week!
ReplyDeletecan you make cactiwine from your cacti plant. Your flowers are pink and very beautiful.
ReplyDeleteMine is not so beautiful, more green.

It's been a long time since we visited each other. How are you? On Good Friday, I launched my book about the days when I had Andrew. It was good, like closing a chapter, no more tears.
ReplyDeleteRe: Photo, the one they tease me that I was holding was my baby. It is a South America Iguana. I don't know why they had it there in a Portuguese Historic sight.
ReplyDeleteI had to pay $2 to hold him.
Marydon, what a shopload of pinks you found for us! Love the plates and that lamp, wow you hit the jackpot, girl!
ReplyDeleteHave a blessed week,
Barb
