Pink Saturday

at by

Hello and Happy Pink Saturday! Please visit Beverly and stop by all the Pink Saturday posts!

I am just a week away from my return trip home – I am happy that I will be returning to my husband and dogs, but I will miss my friends, both new and old, here in San Diego. I’m packing and shipping all my stuff (since I’ve been here 6 months, I’ve accumulated quite a bit!)

So, let’s take a break from list making and packing and look at a few pale pink pretties.

This was at the most recent Barn Sale: pale pinks: in the pillows, the flowers and the depression glass. So pretty coupled with the white chair and table, don’t you think?
Also at the sale: I love this desk – white on the outside, then a hidden pink surprise when opened. That is such a neat idea.How I wish I could have taken it home! And there is that pink purse again! (It was in an earlier PS post of mine.) Check out the frou-frou shoes on top of the desk! See the pink tole trash can by the desk?
And these pretty flowers – don’t they look like roses? They aren’t. I got them at Trader Joe’s and can’t remember their name. If anyone knows, please let me know! I think they are beautiful.

I am saving up some Barn Sale photos for future posts. I’m afraid there will be no more Barn Sales – I will be back East where Shabby Cottage Chic is not as prevalent. I will have to go on a shabby quest, won’t I?

Have a great weekend!

  1. Oh Claudia! Do you ever have some finds! I love your Post. The desk is so divine. I love the pink inside. Pink is so relaxing, you will get a lot accomplished sitting at that desk. Loved the chair. Oh My Gosh, just loved it all. Well done. Thank you for stopping by Country Wings in Phoenix. I will add myself as a follower. I hope you will do the same. I want to follow and see what other treasures you have in store in the future. “Country Hugs”, Sherry

  2. Such pretties Claudia! So sorry I was unable to meet you while you were in the area! Have a safe trip back home. Thank heavens for blogging! Looking forward to seeing many more post of the Barn Sale you have saved up!

    Hugs!

  3. Such beautiful sweet pinks!! I bet you are so thrilled to be so close to returning home. I’d miss those barn sales too though!! Happy Pink Saturday!

  4. Oh these photos .. or rather those pale pinks are just exquisite, plus you have the flair to put it together in such a sumptious way.

    Lovely!

  5. With such beautiful items I can see why you would miss the barn sales (I love learning the different terms used for sales & stores in other countries – I guess this would be similar to a garage sale? Or is it a sale of certain styles/items?)

    Have a great ‘pink’ week.

    ciao for now,
    Elena :)

  6. Hi Claudia, You amaze me. Always in searching new pinkies for PS and you find them. Wish a good return trip. I am sure you will enjoy your time at home. :o)

  8. OMG, Claudia, what absolutely beautiful pinks! I LOVE those mules!! Six months is a LONG time to be away from home! This week will fly by! HaPpY PiNk SaTuRdAy :) Marsha

  9. Happy Pink Saturday. Your finds are fabulous, how perfect for today.

    Your blog is so lovely Claudia. It is such a pleasure to get to know you and see you around the blogs.

    Warm Regards,

  10. Hi Claudia,
    I love the background on your post! Very pretty!
    Your post is gorgeous, BTW! I love the delicate pinks! Thanks for sharing and safe journey home! Happy Pink Saturday!

  12. Lots and lots of pink to bring back home. And everything is just pretty. The soft blushes of pink is very soothing to the eyes. How excited you must be to go home to your cottage :-) oh in no time at all everything will be in it’s place. There’s also one thing you’ll be excited about aside from the list you’ve mentioned – that is working on your doll house! :-)

    Happy PS! No pink post for me today though.

  13. Oh my goodness, you did accumulate quite a few things – great things! Do you have to ship the furniture too? Can’t wait to see all your other finds! Happy PS!

  16. hi claudia,

    such pretty pale pinks! the flowers from TJs are beautiful.

    i am on a constant quest for shabby shops. so far, it seems like they are in NJ. i think we will have to consider opening our own franchise of mockingbird treasures!

    xo

  18. What a sweet Pink Saturday blog post! There’s just something about the color pink that brings out the best of everything☺

    ♥Have a wonderful weekend. Finally warm and sunny here, hope your neck of the woods is just as pink-a-licious as mine♥

  19. Gorgeous items there! I hope that you aren’t wearing yourself out. It is difficult to be away from home.

    Are those flowers Hollyhocks? The ones of the left remind me of them…but then, I am not an expert on all of the pretty varieties.

  21. What beautiful, pink-a-licious things you showed off!!! I just adore those pillows.

    Happy Pink Saturday!

    Happy pink Saturday to you too. Have a safe trip back home… (And be a shabby chic girl wherever you are!)

    Hugs

  36. Claudia-Put me down on that wish list for a feather weight machine, your quilt tops look great…hand quilting-that’s wonderful, something I have no patience for. I love the shabby chic too, but here in Buffalo…not too many people “get it”. Happy PS.

  37. Oh how I love that desk with all the beautiful fru fru what fun it would be to go shopping with you.
    Thank youfor your sweet comments on my blog. :)

  39. Hi Claudia, I am sure you are so excited to return home. I think as a floral designer for upteen years I would remember the name. I worked with them daily, I think they are lizeanthus and come in many colors. Unfortunatly, they have no scent……love your post and the barn sale, Happy Pink Saturday, char

  42. Hi Claudia,
    What a lovely blog and I love your barn sale post…those flowers are my favorite are they peonies, or carnations?…the palest pink with masses of white is a wonderful look is’t it…I love your blog header and colours as well…..xx

  43. Hahaha! You want to head here and I want to go to all the great shops you have been telling us about over the last 6 months!! Oh well hope you are having fun packing!

  45. Claudia, You always find the prettiest pink treasures. I peeked at your post below too. Your quilt is absolutely gorgeous! You’ll have to show it again when you get home so I can have a closer look! Have a safe trip home!

  46. Such gorgeous finds. I wish I had most of them..:).
    Happy Pink Saturday and have a lovely weekend. Rest some from packing..and have a safe trip..

  47. I love all the elegant pinks in your post, thank you!! I believe those flowers are peonies. Lovely, Happy Pink Saturday.

  48. Hi Claudia….

    I’m so happy for you that you’re going home to your family. It must have been so hard being away from them. Aren’t you glad the internet makes it so easy to stay in touch with the ones you love? My parents moved a gazillion miles away from home…things were so much different then…and EXPENSIVE…

    I loved your pink post….especially that desk. I could sure use one like it….although, where the heck would I put it??? I have about enough free space for a tissue box.

    Have a safe trip home…

    Blessings,
    Spencer

  51. you’ll have such beautiful things for your memories! i know you’ll be happy going home though. happy pink week!

  52. Wow! I loved the desk…gets me inspired to do a theme like that in my antique booth. Would love a change! The shi shi foo foo hollywood glam chic is fun. Thanks for stopping by my PINK SATURDAY post!

  55. Claudia, if I had been with you we WOULD have gotten that desk . . . AND everything on it!! Love the maribou muleshoes, & all the bling! I’ve got that exact pink tole wastebasket ~ it is one of RA’s Shabby Chic items!

    Beautiful post!!

    Happy PS a little late!

    Big Hugs,
