Pink Saturday ~ Pink Attraction

I'm attracted to pinks. It's been this way ever since high school. And when I'm out buying...it's the pink things that attract my attention. Here's just a sampling of my latest finds:



Sold, thank you!



Thank you, this has SOLD!

See??? Everything had pink in it.

My Mother always refers to and jokes about my "pink phase" when I was a teenager.

I don't think it has left me. And if you're here visiting today....on PINK SATURDAY then you are going through the same phase! Check out more by visiting Beverly's blog at How Sweet the Sound and thank her for hosting a "pink party" every weekend!

Here are the rest of my vintage finds from last weekend...soon to be on the Bella Rosa Antiques website. If you'd like to be on our mailing list and be some of the first to find out what's been added to the store... click here to add your name!

This is a gorgeous Limoges France teapot. Love the light green color as though it had a garden theme.

Thank you, this has SOLD!
Royal Crown Derby china 2 pc set....dainty but useful! Made in England.
Thank you, these have SOLD!
Got pink? What's a tea party without the perfect vintage napkins?



And to keep things neat and tidy a pair of celluloid crumb scrapers.
You don't see those anymore.

A very nice FENTON Hobnail bell. The original sticker was still attached when I found it! Unfortunately it came off when I was cleaning it!



Thank you, this has SOLD!
A "V" for VINTAGE!
Thank you, this has SOLD!
A pretty, old, sparkly belt buckle. Crafters could make something awesome with this! I can just see it now on a pillow with a pink ribbon going through it. Ooooh la la!

Thank you, this has SOLD!
I just love this hatpin holder. It is a beauty! Unfortunately it is a reproduction and will be priced as such. The real thing is usually sold at around 65.00.
But, when a repro looks this chic and shabby ....who cares if it's not the real mccoy!!

Sweet pinkie vintage baby outfit. . .
Thank you, this has SOLD!
And an old glass baby bottle. The rattle is adorable too and will be available in our new "For Baby" category. Guess I've been inspired by my past nine months with Dear Bebe!

This pretty Hallmark "Wishes Really Do Come True" Disney / Snow White ornament is not an antique but it sure is collectible and can be found in our "Collectibles category. Hope you enjoyed the sneak peek! Items to be uploaded soon...
