Pink Saturday

at by

Happy Pink Saturday, everyone. Beverly hosts this weekly event – please stop by and visit everyone participating.

In fact, a post by Beverly inspired me to start a new collection. She posted a photo of one of her hatpin holders and I loved it. I’d seen them before, but suddenly I saw them differently – does that ever happen to you?

I found this one on ebay and it arrived yesterday. Isn’t it lovely?

It is from Germany. I love the pink flowers!


I’m sure I need a new collection like a hole in the head…but I can’t help it! It’s only about 5 inches tall, it won’t take up too much space!

Have a wonderful weekend! Happy Halloween and Happy Birthday today to my nephew, David (he’s 16) and my wonderful brother-in-law, Ron (who is…we’ll just say 6 years younger than my husband!)

  1. Oh Claudia!
    How beautiful your hat pin holder is. I so love it. Thank you for sharing this wonderful Pink Saturday item. Just love it. You are right at least this collection will be small and won’t take up a lot of space.

    Have a wonderful Halloween sweetie. Country hugs and love, Sherry

  2. I’ve suffered the same malady, sugar; see something with a “different eye” and change my mind about it and have to start “doing/collecting” or whatever! Lovely vase, chick…

  7. A collection is like having an artwork but you end up with lots of them …enjoy.

    Have a happy pink saturday & a gorgeous week.

    ciao for now,
    Elena :)

  11. Great new piece for the start of a collection. Do you have hat pins to go in it? I’ve never thought of collecting them, but don’t we just get the best ideas from fellow bloggers?

    Happy Halloween!

  17. Ooh, I’m so excited for you. Your hatpin holder is so pretty. Now, you’ll have to show us as you find hatpins. It is so hard to find vintage, but I keep looking. Let me know if you find a good source.

    Happy Pink Saturday, Claudia.

  18. I love the hat pin holder – how sweet and cute. I’m with you – all my collections from here on out have to be “small” ones. Ha! Thanks for stopping by my blog. Happy PS and Happy Halloween.

  32. Love the hat pin holder..it’s just beautiful…and I also love hat pins, tho they are kinda hard to find. Happy Birthdays to both..Happy Pinks and Happy Halloween..

    Hugs and glitter,
    Patti

  35. I did not know that lovely item was a hat pin holder. I have seen them in antique stores before and was curious. Yes, another collection is fun…

    Have a fun and happy weekend.

  41. Happy PiNk Saturday and Halloween to you, Claudia!

    I love the hat pin keepers…that Beverly is such an enabler the way she shows us all of her divine pieces :0)

    I’ve finally come to the conclusion that collections of stuff are good for my mental health..hehehe!!! LOL

    Now that I’m in the mountains and have discovered all these broom makers…well, you know what’s happening already, right!? I found those two brooms last weekend and I was hooked…I just loved the huge display of them..all sizes and shapes.

    Thanks so much for visiting..I always enjoy reading your sweet comments.

  51. This is pretty! I can see it’s going to be the start of a magnificent obdsession. Are you going to start collecting the hat pins to go in them as well?

    This week my post isn’t pink at all (although it may be a little red in tooth and claw…)

    Happy Halloween and Spooky Pink Saturday!

  53. Hi Claudia,
    I love the hat pin holder! You are so right about it not taking up much space. I love hat pins, but I have never collected them..HMMM!!! I try to have at least one new collection started every season! You have a super Pink Saturday kind of Halloween!
    :)Marilyn

  54. That is Beautiful !!! Lucky you !! Gosh, it makes me want to start a collection too :) I would have to move my hubby out though to fit ONE MORE THING in our house, lol !! :) Happy Pink Saturday !!

  56. Hey Claudia, Happy Pink Saturday. Love your blog, it is beautiful! ANd that hat pin holder is lovely! DOn’t you just love it when you start a new collection? Becs

  58. There’s always room for one more collection, especially one this lovely. The pink flowers are exquisite.

    I can never resist a beautiful piece of porcelain. It’s an obsession.

    Best Wishes,
    Kay

  60. Well I learned something new today! I never even knew that there were hat pin holders! It is very pretty! Good luck with your new collection! Hope you had a great Pink Saturday and Happy Halloween : )

  61. Hi Claudia…

    Oh my….how yummy. I adore handpainted china….isn’t it delish? I chuckled about “another” collection….but it’s just too much fun to stop bringing home little lovlies.

    Have a wonderful weekend.

    Hugs,
    Spencer

  62. Hello hello Claudia! :-)

    I really am not away of a hatpin, let alone there is something to keep it. WEll, if every hatpin holder is as pretty as this, I think it would be great to have a collection :-) Yup, I agree. It all starts with one, yes?

    Mizpah,
    Li

    (yes, it is amazing that even though we don’t get to see another in person and only through blog – somehow there is that connection and feeling like you have known something a part of him/her. I think that is something I will always be amazed here in blogland. I thank you too for leaving me a message when I had been away for quite a while. Me and the family are well)

  63. Hi Claudia, it was so nice to hear from you – we were out of town yesterday, so I’m playing catch up today! Love your hat pin holder – it is just SO pretty! Hope you had a fun Halloween and Happy Pink Saturday on Sunday to you!

  65. Hi Claudia, lovely post! Love the hatpin holder, never seen them before..and yes I have to restrain myself girl..I love everything..

    So happy to see you visiting me yesterday…
    hugs
    Barb

  67. You found a very pretty hat pin holder! Excellent… a perfect pink, too I must say!

    By the way, I saw you name in the WIZ of OZ program! Neat!

  69. The hat pin holder is charming, and yes, of course you can start another collection. What fun you are going to have in the hunt! Thanks for the visit. Sorry I’m so late getting around to PS posts. Have a great day. ~ Sarah
