Pink Saturday

at by

Hello there, everyone. Happy Pink Saturday! As always, thanks go to our hostess Beverly. Visit her blog to see a list of everyone participating this week. This Saturday marks a year since Beverly started this and we are so happy she did!

I thought I’d share some pink lovelies from Vignettes. I made one of my weekly pilgrimages to this luscious store and saved the pinks for today. This beautiful pink confection of a hat is gorgeous, isn’t it?

What about this pair of pink swans? Wouldn’t they look fantastic in a garden, or on either side of an entrance? Love them.

This dress is so impossibly beautiful ~ I fear it is someone for with a tinier waist than mine!

This lamp is one of a pair and they are huge!! I think they would make quite a statement, don’t you? Maybe a bit too big for Mockingbird Hill Cottage…

These peonies from Trader Joe’s have opened and are big and lush. They almost look like huge paper flowers, they are that big…and that beautiful!

Have a wonderful Pink Saturday and a restful weekend!

  5. Oh, what an adorable pink post, Claudia! I just love the pink hat! And those lanterns! Pitter Pat Pitter! And the peonies! And the dress! And the whole post! lol!

    Happy Pink Birthday Saturday to you!

    XO,

    Sheila :-)

  6. well you know how I feel about the pair of lamps….want them! I spent some time reading the weeks posts, where have I been? All seems great with you, don’t work too hard.HP, Heidi

  7. Definately in Love with the HAT! ALthough the dress is fab. As if I could ever fit into it!!
    Happy Pink Saturday!
    Hugs, Lisa

  9. I love them all! :-) Yes, the hat certainly is a statement and itself, I would love to see those swans in a garden surrounded by those pink peonies, and the dress – perfect for a themed party! Like I said, love them all!

    Happy PS!

  11. Claudia, you know I translated your page in french and it’s funny. That makes me smile because sometimes the form of the sentences are strange! I think it’s the same for French vs English. It is a robot translator so we forgive him(her)! Have a nice week-end and a wonderful week.

  12. Yeah, it’s Pink Saturday’s 1 Year Celebration!

    Okay, loved your whole post! But, my maiden name (LOL, MaidenShade’s maiden name…) is SWAN. I think I need those pink swans… and that dress would fit me, I’m sure of it. I could wear it whilst creating… faerie catchers!

    Today I’ve got Part II of For a Princess (with Part I recapped) – and as it is centered around a celebration, it fits perfectly what with all of the little princesses in their pink tiaras; ) I hope you can come by – I know you’ll enjoy it.

    Happy Pink Saturday to you!

  18. Oh! Though I wouldn’t fit in that prom dress either, I’d love to have it hanging in my room. So pretty! Have a wonderful pink weekend. I have enjoyed getting to know you through Pink Saturdays!

  57. Thank you so much for sharing those lovely images….the vintage dress is amazing!!! My daughter is looking for one just like that! We love vintage clothes in our home! Also love that pink lamp…the color is such a beautiful shade of pink!! What a fun treat looking at all those lovely “pink” items!

  58. Beautiful pink post. The pink dress makes me think of the ones I dreamed of wearing when I was a pre-teen. The closest I ever got to it was bridesmaids dresses.
    Charlotte

  59. Good Morning Claudia and a happy Belated Pink Saturday to you. I collected tons of black seashells this time and purple ones. The purple ones I sent to my grand-daughter who loves purple. I told her a mermaid had left those gorgeous purple shells on the beach just for Grandmama to find for sweet Boo and then yesterday I found a purple mermaid at a yardsale. How apropo! I had to buy it for her to play with when she visits. Hope your Sunday is glorious. xo Lynn

  61. Hi Claudia – the pink peonies are precious! Can you just imagine going to a dance in that pretty pink dress – I wonder if they scratched. Awww, the days of long ago and smaller waists! Pink Hugs!

  68. it’s hard to choose which pink pic is my fav-i think it’s the dress but the lamp is gorgeous too!! i hope you get to new orleans, so many thing to do and see. happy pink week!!

  69. Those lamps were gorgeous! A multitude of pink for saturday! That dress was so delicate looking. Thanks so much for sharing!

  70. What GORGEOUS pink goodies! Oh my gosh – that vintage prom gown and that hat… And those swans would love just luverly in my back yard!… Donna @ An Enchanted Cottage

  71. How glorious – I’d wear the prom dress AND the hat (maybe to Royal Ascot). Happy Pink Saturday (finally). I had hayfever which has turned into sinus, so due to headaches I haven’t been online since Friday! I do apologise for being so late (and I somehow don’t think I’ll be doing much visiting this week)

Pink Saturday

at by

It is time for our favorite day, Pink Saturday! Beverly of How Sweet the Sound hosts this weekly event. Be sure to stop by her blog and visit all the participants.

I have two things to share with you that I bought at last Saturday’s Barn Sale at La Maison Rustique. First up:

An incredibly cute Scottie made from pink chenille! I saw this little guy and I had to have him. (I’ve decided he’s a boy even though he is pink. And why not?) The chenille is vintage and the bow is a soft green. What do you think I should name him? He currently lives on the bed, tucked up against the robin’s egg blue pillow shams.

Next we have a little pretty for me to wear…I was about to pay for my purchases when I spied this in a glass case at the register. I soon tried it on and that was that.

I love this necklace! It is so beautiful ~ I can’t wait to wear it!

I hope everyone has a wonderful Pink Saturday and an equally wonderful weekend!

  1. Hi Claudia, Happy Pink Saturday to you! I love your new pink treasures, especially that sweet little Scotty. As soon as I looked at him the name Dustan sprang to mind. I don’t know why, I’ve never even known anyone with that name before! lol Have a wonderful weekend sweetie!
    Amanda (aka Cottage Contessa)

  2. Beautiful necklace, Claudia! And I love your little Scotty! Another way we’re alike – I always ‘genderize’ things, too! ha ha Not to mention the fact that we love all the same colors… pink, green, robin’s egg… don’t they all coordinate beautifully? Anyhow, I love your little chenille Scotty dog… Happy Pink Saturday!… Donna @ An Enchanted Cottage

  4. Happy Pink Saturday! As you have decided pink Scotty is a boy…how about just calling him scott for short!! LOL

    Linda

  7. Hi Claudia,
    I need to know more about Maison Rustique!! I see it pop up on many blogs and I do know it’s in Temecula somewhere. Please give me some details if you have a chance. I love the necklace; it’s really pretty.
    Happy Pink Saturday.

    Cheers,
    Mary

  8. Both Re wonderful purchases! Although I have to say I love the scottie the most! :)

    Have a great Pink Saturday!
    ~Liz

  10. I think you should call him Camille. That was was dad’s name and I adore it. I love Chenille. I have a few bed throws that I cherish.
    Love the necklace also.
    Happy PS Claudia

  25. Claudia, your chenille terrier is absolutely darling! And what a lovely necklace. No wonder you couldn’t resist it!

  26. Hello Claudia,

    What a darling little scotty! Lots of guys wear pink! and I love your necklace. It has a very vintage “Parisian look to it”. Now what to name your little pink scotty….Hummmmm I’ll need some time to think of a good name.

    Happy Pink Saturday.

    Kris

  28. That is the sweetest Scottie. doesn’t that green bow just make it perfect?
    A beautiful necklace that I would have a hard time resisting, too!
    Happy Pink Saturday!

  31. Hello Claudia, your Scotty is adorable. I love him in pink and why can’t he be a girl and be called Pinkie? The necklace IS beautiful. Enjoy wearing it everywhere. People will think you are a princess. smile.

    Hugs…Jeanne

  32. Claudia, thanks for dropping by Riverside Studios, the necklace is soooo beautiful. And you’re right about the Scotty; I think he’s a boy…something about the stance, maybe? Have a pink of a week.

    Your necklace is beautiful!

    Happy Pink Saturday!

    Your necklace is indeed pretty.

  53. The pink chenille on your new girl is just beautiful, I don’t think I have ever seen that before. I also think you made the right decision to go for the necklace, beautiful too, Happy Pink Saturday, Char

  54. Happy Pink Saturday! I am posting a day late and a dollar short. I adore that pink Scotty dog made out of chenille. Put a smile on when you wear that necklace it is simply lovely.
