One of my favorite places to go hunting for “deals” is Home Goods. We have a new store in town and it’s become one of my “must stop by” places for Saturday morning shopping. The other day I found an adorable teapot, creamer, and sugar bowl that I thought would be perfect to take the place of the Easter Bunny and wreath as my kitchen table centerpiece. And I was even happier with my purchase when I found the exact same set in an ad in Tea Time – for close to twice what I spent. Oh, and the name of the pattern in Vintage Rose – not real original – but very descriptive.

Home Goods didn’t have the tray that is shown in the above features, but it is available online – though it does cost more than I paid for the whole set.

And then I found a set of four cups and saucers. It does seem a shame not to finish off the set, right?

And then look what I found online! A tired pastry stand.

So my “bargain” may just have changed into a rather expensive collection. Though I think I’ll probably just get the tea tray. Or maybe on my trip to Home Goods today I can find a plain white tray and then put a pink print napkin or something on it. Or how about a pink cake stand with this tea set on it?

Enjoy your Pink Saturday!

In celebration of Easter I’ve included some vintage postcards with a bit of pink. In addition I’ve included two of my favorite hymns. Christ The Lord Is Risen Today and The Hallelujah Chorus – both by the Mormon Tabernacle Choir.

Hope you have a very Happy Easter. He is Risen!

The other day my son (mid-thirties) said he had a hankering for Peeps which got me wondering about these perennial Easter favorite, though, the company that produces them has now got Peeps for All Seasons. No reason to go without your Peeps “fix” whenever you need them.

And what would an Easter basket be without at least a Peeps in it?

Here’s a few pictures of “appropriate” pink Peeps and Bunnies along with some links to a few websites with further information on them.

Enjoy your Pink Saturday!

The Official Peeps Website
A site filled with information on the history of Peeps, the newest Peeps that are available, and even information on Coloring Contests.

Peeps Research
