Come Enjoy the Pink, It's Saturday again

My beauty in pink today comes from a trip to the flea market, We were visiting the flea market in Milton W.V. a couple of summers ago. I came across a booth on the outside of the building with some of the most beautiful pieces I had seem at a flea market in some time and so low priced I could not believe it.

Needles to say I began to shop, The lady was a very small elderly Italian lady, She I began to talk as I made my purchases, She told me her husband had cancer and she was clearing out a lot of her house for the extra money, most of her items had come from Italy with them many many years ago. It was so sad to hear her story. I purchased 8 or 10 items from her, This beautiful vase is marked on the bottom and has Italy on it. I bought it because I loved it. Sits in a perfect spot on the mantel. I think I paid $10.00 if I remember correctly. Perfect for Pink Saturday.

Rooster Party, Come join the fun.

So glad you stopped by to join our party. Thanks to our host

Barb at Barbs good life. Be sure you take a trip over to her blog and visit as many as you can to see all the glorious Roosters.

This wonderful Guy is the cock of the walk in our house. He comes with a story which makes him so special. My Mom, Leona who raised 7 children in our family was always so busy raising kids when we were growing up that she never had much time to do things for herself. She came from a family of 8 girls and some of them are very gifted in sewing and other hand work but Mom never had these gifts. We always teased that her gift was raising children. She was a great Mom. In the late 70ies I opened a Craft supply shop. I have enjoyed craft work most of my adult life. Since all her children were grown and she had a little time for herself she started to become involved in some of the craft classes we were having in the shop. I loved having her involved and had her join us many time. She went to a painting class with me for a year and a half.

We decided to take a class in Ceramic painting in the early 80ies and this beautiful rooster was one of her projects, When she passed away in 1993 he became mine and is one of my most treasured items. He is so colorful and really struts his stuff. He is a decoration in my kitchen.

This little guy also sits on the bakers rack in my kitchen, I have had him for a few years, I try to keep something written on the slate but don't always succeed.


These two sit on a shelf in my kitchen also.

These are a few of the roosters I have in my home. I love the more colorful ones. Have painted a few in the past and plan to paint more.

Hope you enjoy your tour today.

Come see the Pink, it's Saturday

Good Morning and Welcome to Pink Saturday.

We have so many blogs who have joined the fun so I like to keep mine short and sweet so you will have time to visit many other blogs.

This beautiful piece has been in my home for at least 15 years, It was a Christmas gift to myself one year. Darrell and my kids always tell me how hard it is to buy me a gift as I usually just purchase what I want but that is not true as I love so many things and I am not hard to please. It is a music box and I can't remember what the tune is and I am in my Tenn. home and She is in W.V.

Enjoy your visit through the pink today, Just click on the little pink lady on the left and she will take you over to Bev our host and on to the fun.

A Gift from a Wonderful Friend

Imagine my surprise when the UPS truck pulled up to my home in Tennessee yesterday, I didn't have anything ordered so was wondering if he had the wrong house. No, He was at the right house and I got a surprise package from a wonderful lady who has become a great friend. "Steph of Angelic Accents" We met about a year ago when I joined a great group of ladies through a chat group on Ebay. Steph was so sweet to send me a beautiful poem in remembrance of my Daughter. Of course I cried the rest of the day as it is all so true. Some days are so hard to get through and you can never know the pain of loosing a child unless you have been there.

Steph has shown me the kindness in her heart, It always amazes me how you can become a friend with someone you have never met and how we are all so much alike in so many ways.

I thank you sweet friend.

Stacey now lives in our heart and I love talking about and sharing all the good times we had with family and friends, Stacey was a wonderful person, Mom and friend. I am so thankful that Miranda had enough time with her Mom to have so many wonderful memories. She is now our guardian angel.

Be sure you stop over and visit Steph at Angelic Accents as she has an amazing Ebay store with goodies you won't be able to resist.

Hugs,

Judy

Oh! for a lighter note, My sister met her husband through the puter and from across the US. She from West Virginia and he from Orgen. They have been together for about 6 years, I will share the story with you later.

I got it right this time

Good Morning,

I finally figured out how to do it. Found a program to do the collage that works for me.

I can remember years ago when I decided to learn the puter. It was in the 80ies when the program was Dos. I purchased a puter for my business and for my children, I cleared the hard drive 3 0r 4 times trying to learn. Would have to go back into Radio Shack and have them to reinstall it. I gave up, but my son did learn, of course children always do.

Then some years later when windows 98 came out I purchased another one and haven't stopped since. I am truly amazed at what this old lady has learned. Everything I would want to learn I would call my son, who was in college at the time and he would talk me through what I wanted to do. We spent many late night hours on the phone learning. Now I can usually figure it out but sometimes it takes me a while.

This is my first collage and I love it so I will be making many many more.

This is a shelf in the end of my kitchen that houses some of my cup and saucer collection. Yes! another collection.

I am so luck my hubby, Darrell is a wonderful woodworker, I can just tell him what I am thinking of and he will make it for me. I had about 8" of space at the end of a cabinet where my oven is, He put the shelf there for me. I painted a design of blackberries down the side. Along with the cups I have a small collection of crystal salt and pepper shakes.

Hope you enjoy.

Happy Pink Saturday

Good Morning and I do mean Morning, It is nearly 2:a.m. and I can't believe I am sitting at this puter. Have been playing around trying to learn some new things with my blog but not having much luck.

I traveled to Tennessee today from West Virginia, School starts on Monday for Miranda.

Today I thought I would share a few of my swan collection. I love the ones with roses on them and as you see most are pink.

I have all different sizes. have been collecting for years.
My sister gave me a sign that says everything collector and this is so right.
sometimes you look at some of the collections you have and ask why did I ever start this. My Mom use to have a thing for elephants and when she passed away she had more than 300 elephants in all sizes.

These little one are salt dips.

Hope you enjoy your travels through all the blogs today. I know from experience it is hard to visit all of them. I always try to visit the ones who have visited me. I hope I don't miss anyone. Just click on the little pink lady on the left and she will take you over to visit Beverly and on to the fun.

Hope you have a blessed pink week

Hey! It's Pink Saturday again

Good Morning and Welcome to Pink Saturday. The weeks go by so fast and I must tell you I forgot I was going to post this Saturday so I was not prepared. Darrell and I came to Tennessee on Monday and are going back to West Virginia tomorrow. Our van is so use to the trip now it just knows which way we are going. We purchased the van on Memorial day and have put over 8000 miles on it already. School will start for Miranda on the 17th so we will be in Tennessee next week to settle for a while and I will be glad.

Today I have decided to share a few wonderful items with you.

The first is a vintage piece for the McCoy pottery line from 1956.

A beautiful planter.

This one is a beautiful hand blown Christmas that I painted the beautiful pink roses on. I did a number of these for Christmas last year and this time I kept a few for myself.

This vintage telephone table came from a collection of antiques My Dad had. He had a building full of antique furniture. I painted and decorated this one for My brother.

This is a vintage Kerosene heater, We have made it into a floor lamp. Darrell does all the cleaning and wiring and I do the painting. We have a very hard time finding these and have customers waiting on them when they are finished.

Hope you enjoy your travels through all the blogs today looking at all the pink. Just click on the little pink lady on the left and you will be on your way to visit Bev our host and on to the fun.
