Some (Pink) Days Are Better Than Others

I'm a little late getting my pink post started this morning but I'm not going to let it dampen my pink spirit today... after all some pink days are better than others and I found a lot of things these past few weeks in our favorite color!


Sweet ballet prints... the little ballerina in my house (Dear Bebe, yes she has already started doing some dancing!) almost had these hanging in her room.
It takes much will power to not keep everything.

An ad card for Scott's Emulsion of Cod Liver Oil. Ewwwww!
But the artwork on the front was so lovely...
I loved how patriotic it is with "The Twins" holding the American flag.


Cute little creamer with a great pink floral transfer.




Here I put together a trio of vintage items.
The pink rose postcard of course, is my favorite.




I just know ya'all understand that when I see Burgundy it really
appears as PINK in my head.
The color plates in this copy of Alice are stunning. Again, I had visions of cutting them out and framing them for Dear Bebe's room but I couldn't take scissor to the book.





And speaking of great color... look at this pair of rose paintings. PINK!
What more could I have asked for when I found these?
The canvas is wrapped around a 2" thick wooden frame.



I had just seen these in one of the magazine's recently ...
I remember playing with them when I was a little girl.
These are possibly even older than I am.
Victorian china never loses its appeal with me.
Anything that withstood the test of time while
being breakable finds a soft spot in my heart.
Plus, the little petite pink roses give it the extra..... "awwwwwww!"



Vintage Japanese lanterns.
These are smaller than the others I listed a few weeks ago. They would look cute together, strung every other one, with little twinkle lights for a summer time party.



This pink rose dish has me intriqued this week. It is shaped like a bone dish but it's size tells me it is not exactly a bone dish. Much larger at 9 inches long and 5 inches wide. The back stamp reads "France" and another stamp shows where it was purchased, 5th Ave, New York!

With all of this pink goodness I am certainly tickled this week. I hope you were too!

For more pinks to fill your fancy check out Beverly's blog at How Sweet the Sound.

Thanks so much for stopping by... see how many other pinkies you can visit today.

I'm off to work at our antique booth so I'll try to stop back later

and catch up with you all!
Enjoy the day!





(And yes, these finds are my latest items up for sale if interested)
