Pink Saturday

Happy 2nd Anniversary, Pink Saturday!


These peonies are for you, Beverly. Thank you for all the time and care you put into this celebration every week. You are a gem.

I am posting this while I am working far away from my home. I’m currently in San Diego and my temporary digs leave much to be desired decor-wise. However, I do have some pink.


This is the view as I sit on the couch and blog. My pink pajamas, a vintage pink tea towel, my pink rose mug and one of my California finds – a pink glove box.


I found this at an antique store and debated whether to buy it. I fell in love with it right away (I’ve started a collection of glove boxes) but the price was a bit high. I went away and when I returned a week later, it was still there – calling to me. I gave in.


Isn’t this fabric beautiful? So old fashioned and flowery. I’m used to seeing solid color glove boxes. This is the first time I’ve seen one in a flower print.


I’m storing all my embroidery supplies inside. I really, really love this piece.

Please celebrate with us and stop by Beverly’s blog to see a list of everyone participating in Pink Saturday’s 2nd Anniversary.

  2. I know what you mean, I love the glove boxes too! I found a very shabby one in an antique shop and recovered it in a swap and it turned out great! So if you see one shabby, buy it, it comes apart easy and you can easily recover it! Love your pinks! Happy PS! Suzie

  3. You look like you’ve settled right in, honey. ;-) Love your jammies and the coffee table with cover. You’re doing well in decorating a “rental” place for yourself for a few months. If we were down there now, I’d take you out to dinner. I know you must be homesick!
    xoxo,
    Connie

  4. Oh Claudia I’m so glad that you went back for it. It’s so great and I loved seeing your floss and things inside.

    Happy PS!

  5. I do NOT blame you for giving in..this is a FABULOUS glove box.
    AND I adore the pink jammies. Too cute.

  16. Hi Claudia,
    I love that box covered in pretty pink. The best part about being away in a temporary place is that you don’t feel the pressure to be doing everything around the house.

    I love Pink Saturday and that it has connected me to wonderful people like you. Wishing you a Happy Pink Saturday Birthday, and many more pink posts to come.

  18. Hello Claudia,

  23. Hi Claudia…I’m so glad to know what those boxes are for. I’ve had a couple in my antique stuff and wasn’t for sure what they were for. Yours makes a perfect sewing box as well. What a fun thing to collect. Happy Pink Saturday Birthday and BTW…love the Jammies!

  29. It looks like your surrounded by a lot of inspiration in your temporary digs. Your “real” home must be amazing!

  30. Your back in San Diego? Your pups and hubby must miss you. It seems like only yesterday that you were there.. where does it go Claudia? I’m sorry to hear that your mom is sick. She’s in my thoughts. My mom is 91, and coming to the cottage for 2 weeks. I thank God that she is as spry as she is.
    My peonies just popped yesterday. I’m going out to cut them right now as a matter of fact. Your’s are beautiful and I LOVE that glove box and P.J.s. I’m still in mine, trying to do shores, visiting and taking care of the 7 dogs : )

  32. happy PINK Saturday! I sure am glad you bought that glove box otherwise we all could not see it today. I love it good choice. And a great memory of California I hope. Hugs, Diane

  33. Hi, Claudia,
    I know it must be hard to be so far from home while you are working. I am thinking of you and sending you much happiness. I think you are making your temporary space look very chic and romantic. I, too, would have had a hard time passing up that lovely glove box. Enjoy your weekend, sweet friend~ Vicki

  34. Oh lovely pinks!! I really love Pink Saturday! How exciting to have another birthday for it!
    Hugs, Lisa

  36. Hi Claudia,

    Happy PiNk to you…I have the exact floral tea towel….the fabric is fairly thick, isn’t it? I bet I’ve had them for more than 20 years…I believe they are actually made from tablecloth weight fabric…so many of my vintage tablecloths resemble this weight. I’ve got one in the color of yours and another with the jadite/mint green background color.

    The glove box is so pretty..I can see how those would be habit forming. :0) Perfect for storing tiny stuff.

    I hope you are having a great weekend..

    The PiNk party will be drifting throughout the week..don’t miss all the divine virtual desserts!

    I’ve created a celebration button for all the pinkies if you’d like to snag it.

    Thanks for visiting me!

    Hugs,
    Stephanie ♥

  37. Claudia love the idea of using the vintage glove box for sewing things!! I had one like this and am now wondering what I did with it!!!

    Have a great weekend friend!

    We are getting ready to go pick up 2 more hives of bees! It’s a 3 1/2 hour trip each way that is a gorgeous drive!

  41. The glove box is gorgeous, I can understand why you just couldn’t bear to leave it at the shop – and it’s such a great place to store you stitchy stuff :)

  42. Hi Claudia,
    I think that you have made your home away from home very cozy with your pinks. Love the lingerie box, the fabric is so pretty. Love those turquoise slippers in the photo too.

    hugs
    Sissie

  43. Claudia, I now know what type of box I store my remote controls in! I have the exact same box, but mine is a solid pale pink, and I had no idea it was a glove box! I just knew years ago when I spotted it that it would be perfect to hide the unsightly remote controls on the coffee table!
    Happy pink saturday :)

  50. Happy Pink Saturday, Claudia!

    Well, Sophie is doing fine but we had to take Kodak to the emergency vet in the middle of the night last night. They gave him a pain shot and some antiflamatory meds and I’ll be making an appointment with his regular vet soon.

    Needless to say I’m exhausted today but I wanted to be sure I dropped by and wished you a fabulous PiNk Saturday!

    Hugs,
    Marsha

  54. Happy Pink Saturday Birthday Claudia! Love your pinks in your home away from home :)
    The glove box is so pretty!
    Have a terrific weekend!
    Hugs, Mary

  55. Hi Claudia, it has taken me all day but i am finally getting to many of my pinkie friends. I have missed you. So often Pink Saturday finds me away from home or just doing things and visiting is so hard. Me and lots of other bloggers huh smile.

    Your pink peonies are stunning. I didn’t know they came in this color. I usually see them in pastels. Love your PJ’s and your glove box. It is probably from the 1930’s with that lovely fabric. I’m glad you gave in because it makes you happy.

    HUGS, Jeanne

  56. WOW those peonies are just gorgeous!!
    I love the glove box. What a wonderful buy. It always makes me happy when I purchase some vintage goodness & it’s great that you can still use it.
    Happy Pink Saturday

    Hugs,
    Jill

  58. Happy Pink Saturday!! Love your pics! Hope to see you at my blog sometime! XX

  59. The glove box is perfect…both beauty and function! I haven’t seen one with a print before either…it is very pretty! Hope your mother is doing better.
    Rene

  60. The peonies are gorgeous and so is the glove box – I have never seen one, but that one is definitely worth it. So fun and such a great storage container too. Happy Pink Sat.

    Blessings,
    Tricia

  63. Happy Pink Saturday, Claudia. We’ve been pinking together for over a year now. Thank you for everything you do to make Pink Saturday special.

    I know you must miss your home, but you have surrounded yourself with some very special pinks. I love your pjs. And, that glove box is gorgeous. I wouldn’t have been able to resist either.

  64. A delicious glove box you found!!! Being a collector is something I know and sometimes we Have to pay big prices when we fell in love with something!!! I have loved your pink saturday today, your pijamas and everything else are great!!!!
    Hugs,
    Maria Cecilia

  65. Hi Claudia!! I am lusting for that glove box. I have NEVER seen one with a design on it. I agonized over buying a solid pink one at an ant. shop not too long ago….it didn’t cost much. When I returned another day….it was gone! Now I will forever be on the hunt for one like yours! I loved your other pinks.. I know you are looking forward to sitting on your own sofa at home and wearing those cute PJs.!

    Have a peaceful and safe Memorial Day!! L, Dana

  67. Wow, those peonies… and I love your jimjams too. Wishing you a very belated Happy Pink Saturday – sorry to be this late, my computer crashed and I’ve only just got back online.
