Pink Saturday #5!

Welcome to Pink Saturday hosted by Beverly at How Sweet the Sound

On a little thrifting excursion I had this week I found these pretties for Tea! Both Cups are made in England.

These depression glass Salt and Pepper shakers are from some items that came down to me from Dear’s Great, great, Aunt Emma.

I spotted this last Pretty Pink Umbrella at a Boutique in Pioneer Square in Downtown Seattle.

Look at all the pretty details.

Happy Pink Saturday everyone. I hope to hop around to all your blogs soon…

Pink Saturday ~ Beatrix Potter

For my third Pink Saturday I’m combining Pink with my love of all things Beatrix Potter. I started my collection of Beatrix Potter figurines in 1973 while in England. I’ve picked out 3 of my 27 figurines. These three have pink on them and I am sharing the book they come from and an excerpt from the book.

The first figurine is of “Flopsy, Mopsy, and Cottontail” from The Tale of Peter Rabbit.

Next is “Hunca Munca” from The Tale of Two Bad Mice

The third figurine I’m sharing is “Goody Tiptoes” from The Tale of Timmy Tiptoes

Happy Pink Saturday everyone. Hope you enjoyed a little of my Beatrix Potter Collection. To see more Pink Saturday Posts visit our gracious hostess Beverly at How Sweet the Sound…

Pink Saturday ~ 2

Welcome to my 2nd Pink Saturday!

I’ve posted this before on my blog but not for Pink Saturday. These are some of my Royal Albert China pieces in the Moss Rose Pattern. Over the years I’ve gathered pink accessories to go with these dishes. I really do like the pink and green combination.

I began my set of Moss Rose by buying a Tea Service while touring England in the summer of 1973 with a Christian Rock Band. After I was married in 1974 my husband and I were on a cross country road trip and we made a special trip into Canada from Detroit to buy dinner service for 12 in this same pattern. The pattern was not available in the U.S.A. I love this set but prefer to use plain white china for most gatherings these days except for when I get inspired to set a pretty tea table.

I’m including this collage of a bush in my yard that a hummingbird was enjoying that happens to have PINK blossoms on it…

Have a wonderful Pink Saturday everyone and thank you to our kind hostess Beverly at How Sweet the Sound. To see more Pink today just click on the link.
