PINK SATURDAY 3/14/09
I'm sharing some of this week's surprises with you since they so nicely fit into the "Pink" Saturday category!! I received the above beautifully wrapped gift in the mail from my dear PRH Sis Vickie of Visuals by Vickie & thought it odd since I had recently placed an order with her & already had received it. I was also especially excited since it came delightfully wrapped and was made by my sweet friend Celeste of La Rea Rose! Please ignore the ripped paper, as I started tearing before I remembered to grab the camera!! Shows how excited I was, huh?!?
This adorable int'l. coffee tin container was what was inside. Celeste adds her signature handpainted roses & birdies, & delicate lace trim to transform these into adorable little storage containers like this at her wonderful etsy shop here. And I had seen several sell that I wasn't quick enough to get in her etsy shop....now I need to figure out how Vic knew I was wanting one!!! This one is just perfect, as it reminds me of Vic & me ~ she's the cute blonde, I'm the brunette!
Just perfect for PINK SATURDAY!!!
Earlier I had ordered a sweet little sterling silver teapot necklace from sweet Vickie, & it arrived in the most glorious of packages!!!
Vic always pays great attention to detail in her packaging & presenting of items ~ I should know as we've been swap partners before & I can attest to the fact that the packaging is always given as much thought as the actual gift!!
Isn't it amazing how she presented the necklace attached to a vintage hankie on a soft bed of Easter grass in this beautiful box?!?! Oh, I just about died when I saw it!
Sterling Silver Victorian dangle drop, sterling figaro chain, & the most precious little teapot made using a beautiful porcelain rose bead!!
She also included this pretty PINK roses chintz porcelain teabag holder that I will use next to my kitchen sink to hold my rings when I do dishes. Vic also has some beautiful new postcards with her logo on them with the most awesome scene ~ again perfect for PINK Saturday. If you have a few minutes you really must stop by her website here & check her items out. She has a keen eye for the unique & unusual & has wonderful items, everything from angels, figurines, vintage china, jewelry, Victorian items, & some terrific new candles that I'm just dying to try!
We had a family dinner tonight & I wore my new teapot necklace & everyone just raved about it!! Thanks so much Vic & Celeste for making this be such a happy PINK week for me!
I love seeing everyone's pinkness!! Please visit our sweet hostess, Beverly of How Sweet the Sound to visit more Pink Saturday participants!

What lovely *pink* things! The little teapot necklace is so adorable! It came so beautifully packaged, I'm afraid I would have been tempted to leave it in the box to admire that way! tee hee! I would have eventually broke down to wear it though, it's so sweet!
Have a lovely *pink* day!
Hi Steph, Happy Pink Saturday. Wow what a sweet gift from Vickie made by Celeste. How pretty, Celeste makes the most beautiful things! THat little teapot necklace from Vickie is stunning. I'll have to go back and visit her website again, I've not been there for awhile. That crochet hankie is beautiful too and the box it was in.
Love You, SHirl

Hi Stephanie,
What a gorgeous tea pot necklace from Vickie. I bet it is beautiful on you and what a great idea for the tea bag holder to hold rings by the sink.
Glad you like your little cafe tin that Vickie made a gift for you. She is such a dear heart!!
Enjoyed your pinkness!
Love ya, Celestina Marie
I just love the little teapot necklace!
Happy Pink Saturday!

Wow! Her packaging is beautiful, almost as good as the actual gift. Thanks for sharing this with us. I'm off to her etsy shop. Hope your Pink Saturday was a good one! ~ Robyn
The teapot necklace is simply adorable! My personal favorite is the tea bag holder that you use for your rings when you do the dishes. Cool idea!
Happy Pink Saturday on Sunday.

Thank you dear Steph, for your wonderful comments and compliments! I'm glad you are enjoying your necklace and the sweet container box from Celeste!
So how my Texas hon doing? Love the necklace and tin! Boy if my family room ever warms up, horrible room to heat in Indiana, I have some crafting to do! I never thought of decorating a tin before and boy do I have tons, literally including holiday ones well over one hundred. At one time when my kitchen was in red I had tins ever where and now there tucked away! I have sen such neat ideas lately! So been keepin busy? I'm so surprised you used dble. stick tape on the ribbon, it was so smooth! I need to email you after this I have a dilema with something I so want to do for Noelle! Later,Love,Lori
That little teabag holder is divine, Stephanie!
I love Celeste's work, that box is so stunning! Rachaelxo
