Thanks to Beverly at How Sweet The Sound for once more hosting this fun day of sharing all things Pink!

This week I’ve got three items to share from three different places I love to shop.

The first is a lovely pink vase that I got at Etsy when Etsy Cottage Style had their last Market Monday. It’s not very old and not from any company that I can tell, but it’s cute and pink and fits right in with my other “stuff” in my bedroom.

The middle item is a pincushion that I got on eBay and I believe it was from one of the gals who participates in Pink Saturday. I’ve not started using it yet – it’s kind of too pretty to start sticking pins it. I just have it sitting on the shelf above my sewing maching machine looking all pretty.

The last item is a small lamp that is battery operated. The shade is made of a wax and has a bulb inside that flickers. These flameless candles are so nice. It has an option where you can set it to go on at a certain time and then off six or so hours later. I purchased this through QVC.

Some online finds

Last week when I was visiting sites for Pink Saturday I came across two sites that I wanted to share with you this week.

The first site is Art Glehen which is the blog of Hélène Glehen and features her beautiful paitings of roses that are simply enchanting.

The other blog is Tina’s Enchanted Rose Studio. I took a quick see at her post for this Pink Saturday and she has some adorable tassles made from lots of beautiful ribbon and cherub figurines. She also has some pictures of pink roses. Can we ever get enough pink roses?

Have a wonderful Pink Saturday!

Sandra

I have always loved crazy quilts but just can’t see having a full-sized one. But, the other day when I was looking through some embroidery items I ran across the following. It is absolutely fantastic. The workmanship is extraordinary and is one of those things that is just perfect. I think I’ve found a new thing to collect – ATCs made with fabric and embroidery. I’ll most likely try doing these myself – I’ve done some silk embroidery long ago. Anyway, it’s a new “prize” possession and I thought I’d share it.
