Pretty Pink Dishes

 Welcome to Pink  Saturday! 

Combine a few simple items and create something Pretty enough to give as a gift. A fluffy pink organza gift bag with three soaps – lavender, tropical frangipani and rose – sitting pretty on small pink bowl. 

 

An old tarnished bowl has been given a new look – a few coats of pink paint with gold highlighting the embossed edge. 

…. another pink bowl has been given the same treatment.

… and so has this small dish.

This little dish can be used as a bottle coaster. I don’t know if that was it’s original purpose but it does look so nice on a table setting.

I find a lot of these old silver or steel dishes at op shops for such small costs. It’s simple to  recreate them and give them a new look. They make a unique gift item or a gorgeous little decor piece for your own dresser, mantle or dining table. So, if you have any metal pieces you’re about to throw out think about giving them a facelift. Its better than buying something new because it will be a one-of-a-kind – no one else can boast of having the same piece.

If you do recreate something, post a pic and let me know – I’d love to see your handy work.
