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.

Teapot & Tureen – Classic, Ornate and Pink.

Welcome to Pink  Saturday!

Take a look at these. The teapot and tureen are so richly ornate they make me feel I’m in a grand palace in France.

Makes you want to dress up for a cuppa…. just gorgeous!

Tureen, urn or bowl, it’s not something I would keep in hiding. It needs it’s own display spot, or maybe stand them both together.

Pretty things need to be seen, don’t you think?

Snippets and Gorgeous Things!

 

It’s amazing what you can find when browsing through other blogs. It’s a wonder I’m actually able to do anything else with the time spent online, lol.  Annette from Under The Loupe has made a gorgeous pair of earrings using new jade (serpentine), freshwater pearl and rose quartz. It was a lovely surprise to see this pretty, soflty coloured design as it’s a reminder of summer or spring – a nice way to forget winter for a few moments and dream about warm summery days.

In the same Post Annette writes about an award she received and then passed on to other blogs. Well, sticky-nose me had to check out the other blogs and I came across Paris Couture Antiques. It’s a beautiful blog, so I’ve visited, left a comment, saved it, and Stumbled it. If you like Olde World, French & European styles, Shabby Chic, Vintage things, swirls, and lots of gorgeous things then take a look around Alys’ blog.

If anyone comes across similar blogs please let me know.

Rose Prints for Pink Saturday

 Welcome to Pink  Saturday! 

Today I’ll share with you seveal gorgeous rose prints. We all love roses so why not have them on your walls as well as in your vases. It’s not always possible to buy an original artwork so canvas prints are an affordable way to go. This canvas print of a sinlge pink rose is so soft and pretty.

Shabby pink roses – the print is on a long, textured panel.

More shabby roses – I love the mix of pink and yellow roses.

The photo below shows are smaller panel print with a French flavour.

… it’s only a small panel compared to the longer ones but I think it’s a favourite for me.

So, how many roses could you arrange on a wall? I guess it can be as many as you’d like. I haven’t placed these on any walls as these are part of the prints I have for sale- but when our renovations are complete I’m hoping to have a nice ‘arrangement’ on one wall, with a collection of favourite roses.
