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!

Thinking Pink #8: Something French, Victorian Artwork, and Elizabeth Barret Browning


Welcome to Thinking Pink!
 
This week my pinks were at a minimum...
and I do hope that the things I do show tonight
I haven't shared before! You never know though!
 I did scan back over my old TP posts, just to be sure.
 
 
Here is my little portrait plate
guessing she is French, only
because it is marked.....

...France on the back.
I tell ya, I'm really good at this
antique thang!
 
 
 
And then there is this antique "gift book" titled

 
Being the curious sort, I just read
about Elizabeth Barret Browning
and found her life and story
very interesting.

 
And of course I read some of the
 poetry... good yes, but I am
not really into English prose.
 

 
I just know how beautiful the
artwork  is inside...
 
And again, her story is interesting.
I may do an upcoming "Let's Talk Vintage!"
post about her... stay tuned!
 
And last but not least,
here is my latest thrift store find:
 
 
A pink froufy ball gown!
 
Not old, but a great "Glenda the Good Witch"
costume starter or maybe, just maybe
a costume for a party I am planning
for Bebe's birthday... she wants a
"Nutcracker" themed party!
A "Sugar Plum Fairy" perhaps?
 
Not saying I would be the one in
the gown... good grief,
there is just not enough time
to diet!
 
And I will leave you with that laugh
for the day...
 
Enjoy the weekend!
 
As usual, I will be linking with
these fun link parties:
