PINK SATURDAY

Hello and Welcome to Pink Saturday hosted by Beverly of How Sweet The Sound. You can go to her blog to get a list of the people participating in this weeks Pink Saturday.
I have had a busy week so I went through my old pics and picked out some pretty pink things that I have made or collected. Please click on the pic to get a large view. Here is my sweet little girl Princess Angel Blue of Oak Grove.
These are a some pretty little things that I had made for a Valentine swap with my PRH group.

I am giving away a pillow like this on my new charity blog. Be sure to go here and enter.

I have been collecting vintage pink crochet pot holders for the teatime
& cupcakes guest bedroom.




Pretty pink pins for sewing!

A pretty southern belle table cover.
I am painting my sewing room in pale pink and I have be getting jars to put supples in. They will go in a big corner desk that I have my sewing maching in. I have to paint the desk then these jars will go into the sections of the desk.









Here's a pretty storage box that I purchased on ebay.

I store all my vintage baby trinkets in it.


Cute little round box that I found in an antique store.

Look at how pretty these fabrics are, they look like cotton candy! I got them in walmart for $1.00 a yard.
Well that's it for my Pink Saturday, I hope you enjoyed your visit. Be sure to stop by and visit my new blog when you have time. Stitches-of-Love.

Your Pink Share is fabulous! You inspire me to "get with it" and decorate my sewing room! You are very clever with your use of containers for that room, too!

Shirl! It is all so pretty...where do I start? The doll with the white hair is my favorite. Love her! I remember the beautiful things you made for the swap. The ribbon roses are gorgeous. Such great pot holders. I have come across a few crochet novelty pot holders lately and my favorite are the ones in the shape of dresses. Thanks for sharing all your gorgeous pink!

Hi Shirl!
I can't say what I like best because I liked it all! It is a pink Heaven :0).
Thank you for stopping by and saying hello. I so envy that you live in a pre civil war home, even more that you are on 250 acres. Oh my! I don't think I even know what that kind of space feels like! Ha Ha!
I hope you are enjoying your day and that marvelous view from your porch...sigh*
