PINK SATURDAY ~ 2-5-2011

I'm sharing some of my favorite Christmas gifts that just happen to be one of my favorite colors....PINK!!

My sweet friend, Vickie of Visuals by Vickie, gifted me with all these lovelies!

She offers the teapot jewelry on her beautiful website here.

She and I belong to a wonderful group of ladies in an eBay chat group so she made each of us a beautiful and very appropriate mouse pad.....once again in PINK!

She even added each of our names ~ how awesome is that?!?!

Vickie's dear friend, Karen Daughtery is quite an accomplished artist and I've been most fortunate to start amassing several of her beautiful handpainted rose items!

Vic also gifted me with this very chi chi frou frou Italian handblown glass ornament that I adore!

Lastly, I'm sharing this beautiful pink crystal heart bracelet! Love ya, Vic!!!!

My daughter is very ill with vertigo and I've been staying with her and helping her with the kids. I'm getting lots of good cuddles from the little ones and we are having fun with the teenagers (she has one, and since we are in the middle of a TX sized sleet/snow storm, we've added 2 more teenage girls ~ yep, they are multiplying!!). Don't know when we will thaw out or when she will feel like me getting back home, but I'll try to post again while I'm here. It is sooooo hard to find 'puter time with 3 teenagers in the house to share with!!!

To visit more pinkness today, please stop by and say hi to our lovely hostess, Miss Beverly of How Sweet the Sound!

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!
