It’s Pink Saturday again at Cottage Dreamer! Thanks to Beverly at How Sweet The Sound for once more hosting this fun day of sharing all things Pink!

I’m just getting the hang of my new digital camera – so I’m hoping to improve my pictures in coming weeks.

The first picture is a view of my kitchen table and the bay window behind it. The pinks on the window shelf are things I’ve featured before – the enamelware the I’ve purchased from Debi Coules. On the table is a wonderful tablecloth I purchased on eBay. I had never heard about tinting embroidery until I got this example and did some research. Had to go out and get some supplies to try this technique. The wreath has a bit of pink in it and I’m going to go to Home Goods today and buy something other than the green candle to put in the center. I had a great bunny in there for Easter but want something summery. If I get anything today I’ll add it to this post later in the day.


Kitchen Table

Here’s somethings from other areas in the kitchen.

Two pretty teapots with pink roses that are in my kitchen hutch:

Dozens of pink tea roses in a Capodimonte bouquet:

And lastly, a pretty pink candle and a green one with a ceramic collar that has a pale pink bow on it.

Thank you for joining me on this great Pink Saturday. I’m off to take some pictures of the gorgeous blooming trees that are around my town and hope to have some good pictures for next week. Oh, and maybe I’ll even run across a few garage sales today – it’s finally getting to be somewhat warm enough for them to popping up like all the tulips around town.

I began collecting items painted by Debi Coules on eBay. She has now moved on to having her own website (banner lower down in the post.) I just love her roses and have lots of items spread out through my condo. I’m sure they will all eventually find their way to the blog.

The following pictures are of the bay window in my kitchen. My son took them because my digital camera has gone missing. It’s somewhere in the “day room” that is still a mess from the remodeling.

The bay has a shelf and right now has a combination of enamelware and two stained glass lamps. Somewhere I’ve got more plates that I’ll probably put on the shelf – but I tend to like the way it looks now. I do have a lace trimmed runner that’s in my “to iron” stack that will go back on the shelf.

Thanks to Beverly at How Sweet The Sound for hosting Pink Saturday. I’m thrilled to be able to participate this week.


Hope you enjoyed this look at my “Pink Pretties” from my kitchen.

For a long time I’ve been trying to find a hutch (at least one that I can afford.) I guess I’m going to have to start going to some furniture stores and see if I can order one. Or maybe I can find something like the image below at a garage sale. I’ve got a blank wall in my living room and this type of hutch would be perfect for it. I’ve got a collection of hand-painted plates and other collectables that I need a place to put them. Will post if I ever find what I’m looking for.

White hutch

Oh, and I’m not even sure what to call this type of hutch.
