Thinking Pink #10: Finding Pink in the Adirondacks

 
Hello and welcome to Thinking Pink,
where I share some of
my blushing vintage finds!
 
I just can't help but buy old things
that are pink. It must coded into my DNA.
 
 
This week I am sharing pinky
finds from my trip to the Adirondack
Mountains. It is possible to find
pretty-n-chic things when surrounded
by knotty pine!

All of the finds in the post
are from this little shop.

Minus the table runner.
Found that in my favorite thrift
shop in the woods.

First, let's check out
the ephemera:
 
 

 
This antique 3D pop-up Valentine card was a steal,
but I discovered after I came back from the shop that
it was not perfect. Still, a nice piece
that could be used for different craft purposes,
making new cards, perhaps.
 
 
This calling card was thrown in for free
which makes up for the condition
of the pop up card.
 
 
 
This card isn't perfect either but
the inside sentiment makes up for it.
I am always amazed if they are in
good condition at all. Not sure how
well I'd be holding up, 100+ years later!

 
This biscuit jar is pretty and is
really unique, with Asian styling.
Same antique shop.


I could not pass up this little marmalade
or condiment jar. Too sweet.


A shabby cameo... thinking I may
have to use this in a craft or with
other shabby jewelry. As a stand
alone listing, I don't think it
would be worth it. What do
you think?
 


A teacup is always admired...
especially with pink roses.
 
The table runner was found
at my favorite thrift shop
in the woods.
 
 
 
And while we are talking pink,
I am sharing another costume
from the dance studio as they
are working on fittings for the
upcoming Nutcracker performance.
Is this beautiful or what?
 
Hope you enjoyed
my pink treasures as
much as I enjoyed
finding them.
 
Enjoy the weekend!

What I Found at the Flea

As promised, here are pics of my fleamarket finds... with a few of my antique mall finds sprinkled in here and there. I just love what I brought home. yesterday! Uh...I will part with it, eventually! At least I get to enjoy them for a little while.



Let me just say this is not everything I brought home... just SOME of it.

And can I tell you how great my Dear Hubs is? I showed him this cute clock above and said "Can you get it to start ticking?" About twenty mintues and a few trips to the tool box and he had it tick tocking away! That was last night and it is still keeping good time here on my desk as I am typing this. He is my Mr. Fixit.
I've been looking for vintage trophies for awhile. They are SO hard to find. My eyes spotted this little tiny one and I bought it even if it might be a toy. It is metal and not plastic so that was good enough for me!

The pretty box below has a vintage perfume inside and it is written in German, I believe. I will have to do some more research on it as I'm not sure what it is, but it was such a pretty package, I couldn't pass it up.

The crochet and satin heart pillow is sooooo sweet! Some of these things are hard to give up.



I should be getting the pictures ready to upload but instead I am posting to my blog, visiting other blogs, and just well, having fun!
Hopefully tomorrow night I will have some of my "new" things available on the site. Big emphasis on HOPEFULLY.
See you then...
