Pink Saturday ~ October 4,2006

Happy Pink Saturday once again. Thanks to BEVERLY for hosting this pink party. Today I thought I would share my feminine pink ladies items. I have a vintage pair of pink satin house shoes with rabbit fur trim. They have a square 2 inch heel. Now, how could you be comfortable in your night clothes and heels? I also have a pink vintage box of ladies "stockings," or hosiery. They are silk and in great shape. Along with them, of course I have the pink garters to hold them up. Displayed with the feminine items is a pink stacked hatbox candle. When we have silly shoes day at school, I take the shoes just to show off...I wear a size 10 and can not even get my big toe in these vintage house shoes.

Pink Saturday, Sept. 6

Happy Pink Saturday, and I have a couple of cute pink things to share with you. Now, Don't get any ideas about trying to steal my butler away. I've waited a long time to have my own personal butler. He's a handsome dude, isn't he! LOL He has to stand near my Shabby Chic pink metal lawn chair. The chair has seven coats of paint on it. I found it at a Flea Market. I move it all over the place because it is so versatile.

AND, just in time for Pink Saturday, Patricia sent me my blog surprise from theunfinishedflower.typepad.com/ I love it Patricia! The pink polka dotted bookmark ribbon with a PINK SQUARE button put the gift right over the top! The mixed media canvas will look so great on top of my antique piano. I loved getting the mail today.

Pink Child's Iron~ Pink Saturday

When I was a little girl, I received a little iron and ironing board for Christmas one year. I was so excited because the iron had to be plugged into the wall and it actually got warm to the touch. Now that may not sound exciting to the kids now-a-days. What with Easy Bake Ovens etc. however, it was a BIG thing to me. I didn't really realize why, until a couple of weeks ago while watching my granddaughter play. Rebekah is 15 months old and so much like her dad and probably me as a child. She already knows right from wrong, thanks to her mom and dad, however she is so tempted to do the opposite of right! She was running through the house playing chase with her aunt Melody when all of a sudden she noticed an unprotected electrical wall outlet. Rebekah knew all of their outlets at home had covers and she KNEW not to touch it. That was the revealing moment to me. Her curiosity got the best of her. She started towards the outlet with those big eyes sparkling. I said "NO, NO." Next her dad said "No," also. She stopped walking towards the outlet then started running and playing again. However, each time she went past that outlet, she looked at it then looked at me. I'm thinking that I was told "No, No," not to touch a hot iron. But on that Christmas Day, back in 1953, I could finally touch an iron as well as the outlet you plugged it in to! These little pink toy irons still heat up, just as a reminder of Christmas 1953. Happy Pink Saturday thanks to Beverly at How Sweet The Sound.

Pink Saturday August 09,2008

Thank you for inviting me to PINK SATURDAY. I have chosen one of my favorite pink vintage toys to share with you. This vintage metal stove and refrigerator were given to me by my BFF Carol Isley. Carol is a flea/antique-aholic for sure. She is a former travel nurse and knows every shop from California to Alabama. These two vintage tin pieces sit in my kitchen sharing to glow from all of the other pink items. One is Frigidaire brand and the other is Coldspot. The Frigidaire reminds me so much of my dad. EVERY refrigerator was a Frigidaire to him. "Get me some buttermilk out of the Frigidaire," Daddy would yell. We had a GE! I have collected a few vintage dishes to accompany my play set. Come over some time and we'll make up a batch of mud pies with acorns on top.
