Oh Yes! I've Been Thrifting! Happy Pink Saturday To All Of You Sweet Girlies!

  Hi my dearies........and Happy Pink Saturday...    :-)

I hope you've been having a glorious week.

We've actually seen the SUN here in the Pacific Northwest.....It was a beautiful day today.  Oh how I'm yearning for spring.

Well, if you've been reading the 'ol Bellamere Cottage blog you know the saga of the bleached blue check duvet cover..(see sad face)...shown right there in the picture above.  And, you also know that I've been on the quest to find a replacement.........I've been everywhere.  It's been a sad and pitiful quest.  Still no gingham.  But, with the bad news, there's always some good news, right?

Soooooooooooooo.....Let's just look at the BRIGHT side.    :-)

Well, if a girlie goes to thrift stores often enough she WILL find some treasures, right?

Yep, she sure will.

Lovely little linen tablecloth....I'm going to use it in the master bedroom re-do.  Four dollars.

And, another shot of that adorable Cath Kidston-ish bowl for the sewing room....

An enormous tea cup with posies on the front.....I think it was only two dollars.

Blue plate.....79 cents.

Little orphan teacup....29 cents  (I don't care if this little gal lost her saucer....I have a plan!)

Lidless cottage ware sugar bowl.....I don't remember how much this was, but it was a steal...

It's going in my bathroom....I don't know what I'll use it for, but I'll come up with something.  It makes me happy!

Bennington bowl?  Yep, less than a dollar!  Can you believe it?  I had a few of these many years ago, but sold them at my garage sale.....they were quite the "thing" then.

See that adorable little pitcher?  It has a green border on the bottom and is English...I love it!

I think that little white china piece is for posies.  I have something very similar that is for pansies....Do you think it is?  I think it would be soooo perfect for business cards.  Not that I have business cards, mind you!    :-)

 

 Yummy!

  

 Wow!  Yowza!  Look at this little beauty!  I love it.  It was about three dollars and is in perfect condition.

I always envy all of the fabulous finds you girlies have on your bloggies.....I'm happy to say I've found a few of them myself.

 

  I am crazy about that vintage flower pot.....Ok, it's NOT vintage.  I found two of them at the Goodwill, different pots at different stores, by the way....I think they're probably from the dollar store, but I LOVE them.....and they were so CHEAP.  Yep, I know I'm supposed to say inexpensive or affordable, but what the heck.........I LOVE CHEAP!

For lots more pink fun head on over to visit Miss Beverly @

www.howsweetthesound.typepad.com

You won't be sorry.

It's a fiesta of fun.

And, thank you sooooo much for all of your wonderful and encouraging comments on my little desk chair slipcover!   WOW.  My heart is ever so grateful!

Have a wonderful weekend my dearies!

I love you gobbies!

Huggies and Lovies,

Happy Pink Saturday!!!!

Thank you so much for coming to visit! I LOVE all of you! :-)

Oh yes!!!! There are lots of sweet pinks this Saturday. That dear Beverly over at www.howsweetthesound.typepad.com hosts this little pink party. You'll want to zip right on over and get your PINK FIX! :-)

Yep....fake flowers. I know lots of people hate them, but I've gotta say...I just LOVE me some nice fake flowers....especially if they're pink. I wanted a little glass basket like this one for a very long time. My sweet little daughter bought this one for me as a little giftie. Isn't it cute?? And, I know I've said everything is so much cuter with a nice bow on it.....so, why not tie some around a nice little group of vintage bibles. One of these old gals has notes in it. I LOVE that. I used to be so afraid to mess up my bible, but now.....yep, I write in it.....and this one is so sweet because of it's dear little markings.

I collect little vintage dog figurines. This is just one of MANY! Gotta love a little dog.

A peek at the corner of the kitchen. .......we don't have a HomeGoods anywhere near where I live, but they do have a nice one in Portland. I got the petite cake/cookie stand there. It was a wonderful day! The lamp is a bunch of old glass stuff that I put together. The ribbed part that you see is actually half of a set of candlesticks.....and that darling shade? Tuesday Morning. Can you believe it? I liked it so well, I bought two.

Well, I'll be darned. My darling daughter bought this lovely little pillow for me too....isn't she sweet? Gosh, she's a good girl.

Yeah, this is NOT a nice big tole tray, but one of the beensie ones. I love it though.

I bought this little medicine cabinet a million years ago. I've used it for all kinds of things, but right now I have tiny doo-dads in it.

Ok....I'm pooped and I really should have gone to bed a long time ago. We went out to dinner for my precious grandson's birthday and tomorrow is his party....whoa....now that's a lot of party for this old gal! I'd better get some zzzzzzz's.

I forgot my camera at my daughter's so I didn't have the pix I had planned for Pink Saturday....I'll save them for next week.

Hugs to all!

Have a blessed and safe weekend.

You Could Call It Cottage Style Estate Sale Heaven!

I've shown all of you little chickies pix from this great estate sale proprietress before, but these are just too yummy not to let you have a peek........Just look at all of these little lovelies! And, to top it off, this gal has wonderful prices. It's quite a long way from where I live and in a busy little
town. Parking is often an issue and, as I've said......that's just not an option for my anymore..(hills, steps........not so good)....so I won't be at this one.

Darn it.

I'll console myself by remembering that my "back stock cupboard" is overflowing and wouldn't hold another item, no matter how happy it would make me to have it! :-)

One of these days I'll share a shot of that 'lil cupboard.

Whew.......not so good.

My sweet Mum actually had a desk EXACTLY like this one. It was cherry, not painted, but the style was identical.

Wouldn't this be the cutest thing painted that lovely very pale Robin's Egg blue? YUM!!

My dear Mum had it filled with teacups. I think about sixteen sets with pretty plates behind them. How very English! It was my grandpa's. My Mum had it everywhere she lived and to me it just said "Mum".... :-)

I would zip right over to this table to buy that lovely pink lacy plate. Isn't it just toooo delish???

And, just look at all those teacups! So, the desk AND all the
teacups to fill it? PERFECT!!! Meant to BE!!

Look at that precious little chocolate pot. I think it's one of the prettiest ones I've ever seen. I see the sugar bowl, but no creamer,but who cares? And, that Robin's Egg blue plate? YUMMMMY! And, look at the candlesticks! Aren't those little cuties?

You can click on any picture if you'd like.....bigger shots?? You know you will! :-)

Well, darn it....I had a picture of the most beautiful quilt but just deleted it. I still can't figure out how to add another picture without it going on top? How the heck do you do that?

I'm still learning all this techie stuff!


This is a Becky Metala sale.....if you're close to Kirkland, Washington you may want to check it out! I think I'll still be sleeping... ;-)

Thanks, chickies for coming by!

I love your visits!

Hugs and blessings,
Spencer
