Wet Pink Saturday

Vanessa of Vanilla Lavender and I spent a quick visit to SuzAnna's Antiques on Wednesday. Why quick you wonder knowing how we love that place? Well, while our backs were turned for a few minutes, looking at the latest treasures, her adorable daughter Luna decided to test the water ~ very cold water ~ of the courtyard fountain! She required a complete emergency wardrobe change!
What some gals will do to get a new outfit!!
As luck would have it, and because a handsome little boy named Kyle allowed Luna to climb in the fountain first (such a gentleman at 4 years of age), friend Jenny, Kyle's mommy, came to the rescue with a pair of the cutest Christmas jammies which she just happened to have in a bag headed for the charity shop.
You know what they say, "charity begins at home", or in this case in a friend's car trunk!
Don't ask where the pics are ~ we were so concerned that Luna would get a chill, and she, poor angel, was rather embarrassed when we started stripping off her clothes in the courtyard surrounded by antique Santas, vintage wagons and towering Christmas trees................I forgot to take any!

While browsing through SuzAnna's, before Luna's desire to be a water baby had us scurrying for towels and such, I spotted a few pink things to share today.
Pink painted furniture and lovely plates with roses and patterned edges.

If you read my November 28 post you will know about Jeannie - owner of the fun cottage shop Uniquitiques in Hillsboro, NC. Her space at SuzAnna's is always fabulous and French! Here's her famous pink Tour Eiffel tag.
Although the English smocking doesn't show up well in this picture, it is a sweet little girl's frock of the softest baby pink.
Perhaps Luna would have preferred it to Kyle's outgrown jammies, however it wouldn't have been as warm after that chilly swim!

Rhinestone trimmed pink perfume bottles ~ very pink chippy paint shelves.

Remember to stop over to visit Beverly at How Sweet The Sound where she will have many more blog friends posting in PINK.
Hey Beverly, any chance we can add "pinkish red and reddish pink" now the holiday season is here?
Thanks for a week of great comments. If I haven't had time to leave you one please know I've probably stopped by to take a peek at what you've been up to at this busy time of year, and the visit was most enjoyable.

  4. I love the way the light is catching in those bottles -- the tall stopper looks like it's own gemstone, a giant pink diamond. Happy Pink Saturday.

    In the spirit of this season of giving, I have a gift for you today. I am giving away some art...because I BELIEVE. Please stop by and take your art home, or leave me your e-mail and I will send you the file. You can use the art for tags, cards, prints or in your creations for the Holidays.

    Happy Pink Saturday.

  16. Although I'm sure Luna felt a little embarrassed about the whole situation, it will make for a cute story in the years to come, bless her heart.

    I love your choices for today's Pink Saturday, especially those delectable shelves!

  17. What a sweet story about Luna and Kyle. How lucky Kyle's mom had some pajamas available. Your antiquing photos look fantastic. I love the hutch with all its pink goodies. Is that an elephant figurine in the front? The retro pink planter is pretty cool, too!

    You have such a good eye!

  18. Happy Pink Saturday, Mary. Thank goodness spare jammies came to Luna's rescue.

    The pink chest decorated with so many pretty pinks makes a lovely show.

    I would say any shade of "pink" is good for Christmas, and as we know pink can be quite "reddish". We don't allow pink police. ;-)
