MeetTressa. Tressa is my sweet doll with two left feet. I have written about her before, but I thought she deserved special attention on Pink Saturday. My friend Heidi and I found Tressa when we were antiquing. Heidi had her in her shop but I knew I would bring her home to MHC someday. I did. She really does have two left feet. At some point she must have needed a replacement leg and for some reason, the replacement leg had another left foot. When we purchased her, we were told that a true doll collector wouldn’t want her because of her two left feet. Well….you can understand why we immediately said, “We’ll take her!” And now she lives here. I adore her.

Welcome to Pink Saturday at Mockingbird Hill Cottage. Autumn is here with leaves falling, cooler air, golden light and a chill in the morning air. Please visit Beverly for a list of all those participating.

I found this wonderful pink hobnail vase the same day I found the blue bench and linen laundry bag I blogged about earlier this week. I fell in love with it, of course, and brought it home. I’ve never seen one like it before – it is about 10 or 11 inches high and quite heavy. Isn’t it pretty?

The outer petals are the palest of pinks and the center is a deeper pink. Simply gorgeous!

Have a wonderful weekend!

Happy Pink Saturday, everyone! As my husband said today, “Is it time for Pink Saturday already?” That’s how I feel – my how time flies lately!

This week I am showing a few pinks from my little “studio” in the upstairs hallway. That’s where my sewing machine, cutting table, inspiration board, and quilt design wall are located. It also seems to be the pinkest area in the house!

My new pink measuring tape – much more attractive than the standard color, don’t you think? That’s a spool of vintage-ish pink moire ribbon I found while antiquing.
