Yipppppeee! It's The First Pink Saturday For Bellamere Cottage!

Thank you so much, Beverly, for letting me join your Pink Saturday party! I'm excited to be here.......I can't seem to add links, but please join all the other lovlies at www.howsweetthesound.typepad.com
You'll enjoy it!

The first picture is of my little pink Wade house. I used to collect them, but gave them all to my daughter........well...........except this little pink one. I just couldn't bear to give it up. :-)



A small shot of a dresser in the master bedroom. The lamp was originally brass......I think (to be honest, I don't remember for sure, but it was icky)....painted a pale petal pink and re-wired for safety. I have a thing for trays......one of them is peeking out from behind the lamp.....



As I've said........I LOVE vintage tole trays. This is one from my collection. It's a tiny one.......I think about 7 inches or so.



Oh yes! Pink knobs! I'd add them to everything if I could! They make everything cuter!



A bit of my bedside table. I LOVE that little lamp. I bought just the base at an antique store years ago and made it into the lamp.......it was hard to find a shade that would fit, but I'm determined and prevailed.

Our bedroom is pink and yellow......my very favorite color combination. It's just so happy!

That's my little grandson as a baby. That picture of him is just so sweet.........it makes my heart sing!



A center shot of one of my green tole trays. I couldn't get the darn thing to crop worth beans so I gave up and just did the center. I LOVE those roses! Aren't they so pretty? I wish I could go back in time and watch the artists paint them. They did such a good job. It's interesting how many were painted by the same artists.

I so hope you enjoyed my first Pink Saturday........PINK is my favorite color and when I think of my house I always think in pink, but when it came to photographing things it didn't seem so pink.....hmmmmmmm.........

I'm so glad you came! Thanks again, Beverly.

Have a wonderful weekend dear ones.

Wishing you abundant blessings!

Show and Tell Friday At Bellamere Cottage!

A bit of the living room at Bellamere Cottage.

Also, part of my collection of tole trays..........I have LOTS of them! :-)

I am always amazed at what a little bit of paint can do to an old, yukky piece.....I'm also surprised to see how small this chest looks in these pictures. It looks so tiny......it's really not.

I bought this little number on Craig's list a while back for thirty dollars. It was NASTY. After some TLC and large glass knobs I truly love it. I bought it as an interim piece because I couldn't find something that I really loved. As everyone knows, as soon as you buy something you find the PERFECT thing......so, about a week after I had finished this I found a vintage piece that was just perfect. I may have mentioned that my garage is full??? Well, I didn't have a place to re-do another piece so I'm sticking with this one temporarily. I hope that eventually another PERFECT piece comes my way.

Can you tell the walls are a very pale blush pink? I LOVE 'em!



Not easy to see in this shot, but I filled the original holes from the pulls, added the appliques and several coats of black paint........VOILA'!!!

Ok.........here comes the original picture from the ad on Craig's List!



This is a girl who could use a makeover! :-)



The pitchers and platter are old......the vase is from Michaels.



One of my favorite lamps........a thrift store find: $15.00.

I bought the shade at Marshalls on clearance: $6.00



I LOVE these vintage pitchers. I have a "thing" for pitchers.........I only have a few of the white ironstone ones though.



Ahhhh.......those little appliques (I bought them on eBay).......and those delicious glass knobs.......(also eBay).






Sorry for the lousy shot..........




Thanks so much for coming by and seeing my Show and Tell. I so enjoy peeking around all the lovely homes in blogville........I hope you've enjoyed mine too!

More great Show and Tells............
