Pink Saturday: Pink Arrangements

Make a note on your calendar for Saturday to attend a great outing. We have been invited to join Beverly for a Pink Saturday. If you have not been to one of her special Pink Saturdays, you are in for a real treat.






This little glass flower arrangement was given to me my son when he was in service over seas. It appears each little petal is hand designed.

This beautiful flower arrangement was at a little gift mall I visited. This whole shop contained mostly pink items. It just blew my mind seeing so much pink in one place. I took this photo along with the one listed below.



I have a few other pink pictures I took at this shop, but will show them in my next Pink Saturday.

Fourth of July

I know today is not the Fourth. I figured a lot of viewers would not be on a computer reading blogs, so I am a day early.


While visiting a little gift mall, I saw these neat little patriotic displays. Enjoy my American showcase.






I thought this would be a great tribute to Coloradolady"s little "darling" Sophie. However, I can assure you she is worth a lot more than $30 to Coloradolady.




This is a bread premium flog sticker/card. Thought it represented our Independence Day, July 4th. This is not from the mall. It belongs to me. Do not why I have it.

These type stickers were placed as premiums in loaves of bread in the 1970's around the time of the country's Bicentennial celebration. It measures 2-1/2" x3".

It is marked on the back:

(c)1976 National Flag Foundation
Printed Specially For
Quality Bakery of America, N.Y.,N.Y.

HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY TO ONE AND ALL. MAY OUR FLAG ALWAYS FLY HIGH.

Vintage Thingies Thursday: Vintage Stools

Pull up a stool and join me for another visit with Coloradolady on Vintage Thingies Thursday.








This is an antique vintage oak swivel piano stool with eagle claw glass feet. It is in good, solid condition. It could use some refinishing, but I chose to leave it as it is. I bought this from an antique mall in Georgetown, Texas in the 80's



I was going to use it as a vanity stool in my bathroom. That did not work out. It is now used as a plant stand.


This is an old three leg milking stool. I just use it as a door stop. It came from the estate of my late husband's aunt.


Perhaps at some time, they could have used such a stool for milking. One thing for sure, it was not used during our milking days.

These are vintage food prices during 1932-1934:

Bacon (per lb.) .22 cents
Milk (per.qt) .10 cents
Coffee (per lb.) .26 cents
Sugar (per lb.) .05 cents

TIME really does make a difference!
