:*~:*~Pink Saturday:*~:*~

Yes it is Sunday but, I had to go shopping to find more PINK!

I mean I have a lot of pink here at the house but......

Anika came home from spending the night with her 4-H agent Miriam (Miriam is also a great family friend now, we LOVE her) she had a speaking engagement on the radio at 9:30 a.m..  Anika says "let's go to the antique store mom" Well it didn't take me more than a few minutes to get dressed and we were out the door!  What 15 year old asks to go to the antique store? I checked her head for a fever even.

Rebecca over at Shabby Pink World always has the BEST pink stuff, so I am on a mission to try to keep up!  I know I will never do it, she must have a secret stash brought down from the heavens by angels or something lol

This was my find of the day!

Just sitting there on a shelf at the antique store singing my name.  I heard them quietly, yet firmyly  "Wendy, wooo hoooo Wendy, over here!" Beautiful soft pink milk glass sugar and creamer.  Okay they better be old because I paid antique price Sshhh, don't tell.  I came home and looked on ebay and couldn't find anything like it, (if you do, don't crush me okay?)

Antique baby shoes, my new addiction.  These beautiful rose covered mugs were a score at our local factory outlet, $2.99 with 30% off + an extra 15% (cuz I am still under 50, this only happens onFriday).  Only 2 left, but they are MINE!

And one fluffy pink scarf with a pink peony that was once on a stem, but is now a stunning pin....thanks to my glue gun!  You can find me and plenty of others who love pink at:

Lets not forget my Anika!!

She started her very own collection today.

She has been looking at fiesta for awhile, making sure she knows what it looks like, how to spot it etc.  She wanted to start a collection of her own.  Her space is kind of limited however (well my space really) so fieastaware was kinda out of the question.

Her favorite color is purple so she decided to start a collection of purple items for her future home!!

I think she made some very beautiful purchases.  I wonder who she thinks those his and hers fingertip towels are for anyway, Anika?

Fathers and Daughters Pink and Cookies!

At my house sometimes you have to get creative.

  My hubby can work some long hours and my Anika may not get to see her "da~da~da" as much as she would like to.  (Yes, she is 15 and Yes, she calls him "da~da~da" so?) Well on those nights where she doesn't get to see him at all? This is what they do!

They have been doing this for months and when one of them forgets...oh boy!!! Now they even have colored markers, every color of the rainbow in that potty of hers (started out with just one dry erase marker)

They have been silly, heartfelt, even angry on occasion.....They have shared and made up.  Sometimes I get curious and other times I just stay out of there all together.

Sometimes I can hear one or the other come out of that bathroom giggling.  I might get to hear the funny stuff or I might just leave the whole question alone.  Sometimes  they just HAVE to tell me what's going on and I get the best laughs!

I keep saying I cannot wait to re~do this bathroom after Anika is gone off to college, but I will really miss the pile of markers on the sink.  Maybe I should make them a permanant fixture for this bathroom and when she comes home to visit, her and "da~da~da" can write notes again!

Check out my newest pink find! Tiny little pink satin balls on a beautiful garland.  I have never seen anything like these before...sure I have seen the big balls and have plenty off them, but these? NEVER!

I purchased these at Maxwell Vintage on ebay. OOOOh you don't know this place?  Dare I say it's a little treasure chest of fantastic goodies?

Maxwellvintage

I found some lovely stuff there....like this table runner.  I made an offer on it, but my offer was refused!  I was sad :(

I got my box today and inside? There was MY beauty...wrapped with care and smelling all sweet.

Thank YOU

So stop over at the blog and  be a follower, maybe skip over and see the ebay store?  You never know what you may find...make an offer, who knows right?
