I’m taking part in Sally’s Blue Monday for the first time. I always considered myself someone who didn’t particularly care for blue, but ever since I fell in love with the beautiful blues of McCoy Pottery, I seem to be adding more and more blue to my decor. I especially love aqua and turquoise blues.

This week I am sharing my Antique Cherub painting I splurged on when I was staying in San Diego earlier this year. If you are a regular reader of this blog, you may have seen my post about it. I saw it at Vignettes – one of my favorite shops – and after gazing at it for months, I bought it. I am in love with it. It now hangs in our bedroom.

Thanks for visiting! Stop by Sally’s blog to see a list of everyone participating.

Happy Pink Saturday! Please stop by Beverly’s blog to see a list of everyone participating.

This week I am sharing 2 quilts with you. One is vintage – found at an auction – and the other is one of the first quilts I made.

This is a section of the quilt I made. It is hanging on the wall and I didn’t want to take it down! I used 30’s reproduction fabrics. The solid color is mint green; there are a lot of different pinks in this quilt. I love 30’s fabrics. I pieced and hand quilted this quilt about 10 years ago.

This vintage quilt is very sweet. I love the old fabrics. It is worn and stained in some places. I bought it at an auction and have it folded in a basket that is in our upstairs hallway. I have another pink quilt that was made for me by my Grandmother that I will share another time.

Our Elsie May rose bush always has one last bloom period in September and October. Hello, sweet rose! See you again next spring!

Some of you may remember a vintage hatbox that I shared with you on one Pink Saturday. In that post, I mentioned a hat that I bought at the same time and some of you expressed interest in seeing the hat. If you scroll down one post, you’ll see the hat.

Have a wonderful Saturday!

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.
