It's Pink Saturday once again and I have some cute pink presents to show you. I was lucky enough to win a giveaway at Laura Bray's blog. She has an adorable Etsy shop called Katydiddys. I won these oh so cute faux cupcake tea bags. They're going to a sweet little girl soon. I might have to keep the pink one though.
Then I did a swap with Tammy at Home in Virginia. As usual, I wrapped my swap gifts up before I remembered to take a picture. Tammy sent me a pile of pink presents. I love the cute peachy pink star shaped pillow and all of the pretty fabric and lace that she sent with it. A cute pink box held some pretty vintage buttons. There was also a cute bunny mold that I will definitely use next spring.
Now that I don't have disease processes in the forefront of my mind, I plan on putting my sewing machine to good use. Speaking of sewing machines- look at this pretty antique sewing machine chest.
I was at an estate sale and bought a stack of books. I really enjoyed talking to the woman who was selling her things and moving into a smaller place. As I was walking out, I saw this little chest with the price of $20.. I think that the seller was just as happy that it went home with someone who would love and appreciate it as I was to give it a new home.
Have a happy Pink weekend everyone. I'm planning on going to an estate
sale that is advertised as a "40 year accumulation of fabrics by a
quilter". Sounds exciting!
You should keep the pink one :-) It's too cute. See how perfect it is in your teacup :-)Your pink cushion looks so pretty and full and I'm sure so soft.
Enjoy your next estate sale. 40 years of fabric accumulation , and from a quilter? I can just imagine bundles and bundles of assortment of fabrics!
(no pink post for me today, just visiting :-) )
