PINK SATURDAY / Hunter Gatherer Party 11-04-2011

Sharing a bit of PINK Love for PINK SATURDAY!

I do LOVE my pin money purses!

I've gathered most of these by haunting eBay! I do non-stop searches on eBay for these and do best if I'm willing to accept an item in less than perfect condition. Prices did skyrocket on these little items from the 50's after one of my all time favorite magazines, Romantic Homes, did a story that included them a few years back,  but they have once again become a bit more reasonably priced. I've paid anywhere from $15-$50 for most of mine. I've found the later at night (or earlier in the morning) that an item is listed on eBay, the better your chances of getting it for a lesser price. So I guess the early bird does truly get the worm!!

I'm thrilled to be one of Beverly's featured bloggers on this pretty PINK SATURDAY!

I've been posting on her PINK SATURDAYS almost since the very beginning, and I always ALWAYS try to post. In fact, you will need to drag the river bottom to search for me if I ever miss a post since I've learned how to pre-schedule!

I've added some of my favorite pics here that really sum up what I love....

hope you enjoy!

 

I collect antique mirrors and also sell them here on eBay.

Most of my mirrors usually reflect something PINK!

One of my antique mirrors, this one with beveled scallops, etched florals, and convex bull's eyes.

I love my silver mint julep cup that my parents gave me and I have it filled with pink roses.

A cream pin money purse with pink roses sits atop some of my father-in-law's old school books and a delicate lace hanky.

These two stuffed chairs and ottomans are from http://www.angelsong.net/.

Aren't they just the cushiest, most comfy looking things ever?!?!

Found this pink Crosley Pay Phone ~ I'd love to have one of these! Wouldn't it be a fun conversation starter?!?!

Day-tripping today, but will soon visit my pink girlfriends! Please stop by and visit our hostess, Beverly of How Sweet the Sound for more PINKNESS today!
