Pink Saturday

 Welcome to Pink Saturday hosted by Beverly

Please visit Beverly's blog to find the complete list of participants for this Pink Saturday. And thanks to Beverly for hosting this every week.  This is a cute piece I found at the flea market this week. I think it is for jam or honey as it has a little spoon with it. I was so happy the whole sweet thing was intact. 

The saucer on the bottom is attached. There is no maker mark but it is a handpainted lovely. I don't know about you, but I just spoon my jelly out of the jar when I should be using a pretty piece like this. I hope your Saturday is perfectly pink!

Welcome to Pink Saturday hosted by Beverly .

Please visit her blog for a complete list of all the participants.

This is a sweet vintage hat hanging on my hat stand in my entry way. It really is 2 large roses and some black netting with a comb to hold it on. But I guess that is all you really need....2 large , gorgeous roses!! Simple and elegant.

I found this tray at an auction. It is huge and lovely.  I have it hanging on the wall in my dinner room secured by removable velcro hangers by 3M ( I think that is the brand). I have hung several trays with it and it is wonderful, causing no damage to the tray. 

Thanks for visiting and have a great weekend!

Pink Saturday

Welcome to Pink Saturday hosted by Beverly. 

Please stop by her blog to see the lovely participants. Well, warm weather has returned to my little spot of the world and that means Monday Flea Markets and Friday auctions. It is a guilty pleasure starting off the week with something fun when I feel like I should be doing chores. Here are two of my latest finds....the pink ones. A sweet retro patio set with carrier and pink flowered glasses. Behind that is a gorgeous hat box with the prettiest rose paper.  Both of these pretties are in my ebay store. Thanks for looking.

Still lost in feltland!

I am STILL playing with felted wool sweaters and the designs of this designer.

Anyone who is celebrating anything in my family is getting something made from felted wool sweaters until I run out! The colors and textures are so much fun. I am keeping the economy going buying up all the sweaters.  I think some pillows are in my future too. Cashmere on a pillow....it doesn't get much better than that!

This stack of squares cut from felted wool sweaters is going to be a baby blanket for my new great nephew. I looked for argyle, stripes, and tweeds for this project. I think it will be really cute for a sweet new baby boy.

Welcome to another Pink Saturday hosted by Beverly.

Go to her blog to check out all the participants for this week. This week I am concentrating on my crafting pink. These are some of my pink trims waiting to be set free and turned into something sweet like.....

this confection collage I made to honor those delicious homemade cakes and cupcakes. I made one for a friend's birthday and liked it so much, I made one for my etsy shop too. It is so sweet with a handwritten recipe that looks like grandma's handwriting plucked from her recipe box. 
Have a super sweet Saturday and a piece of cake if you can get it!

I'm felting and I can't stop!

Have you ever tried a technique or a tutorial and then you couldn't stop? Well, that is how it has become with me , felted wool sweaters, and this designer's blog.

I made the little tote in the previous post and now I can't stop making these posies with the scraps. I even went looking for more thrift store sweaters. I can't seem to find the pastel sweaters I am searching for, they all seem to be red, blue , or green.  A pink one must be a coveted prize for sure! With the larger scraps of blues and greens I am going to try the baby blanket in her book!  I can't let any go to waste. Give it a try yourself, just don't take my pink sweater if you find it!

Pink Saturday

This is my first time joining Pink Saturdays. I would like to thank Beverly for including me. Please stop here

to visit her and everyone else participating. I used the tutorial from this designer's blog

to make this little girl's tote for my niece. I really enjoyed learning how to search for and felt thrift store wool sweaters to make this. I really was hoping to find a soft pink but after going to 3 stores I realized I was lucky to find any pink at all that day. I'll have to keep looking. So I used what I found to make this for her First Communion next month. I will add inside a prayer book and a Miraculous medal for her to take to church.

This lamp has been in my family a long time. It used to be in my Grandmother's house, then my mother's house before being passed to me. It is gorgeous, not a chip to it. I wonder who hand painted it so many years ago. 
Here is a detail of the delicious painting. Such beauty in a few strokes. 
Thanks for visiting and I will be around to visit you all soon. Save a glass of iced tea for me.
