More pink for my pinky friends

Isn't she pretty? I'm a bear collector, I have stop collecting as many, these days it must be a super special bear. I found her @ the flea market among some not so nice stuff. When the guy said $3.00 I almost fainted. I now this brand and she is a major score. She was made by Bunnies By the Bay and retails for 189.00$(SCOOREEE) The fabric in her dress is beautiful, the collar is embroidered and her hat is full of millinery flowers. LOVE HER!. The funny thing is the same guy was selling the ugly stuff animals for much more. Do you ever wonder what is the criteria people use when they price their stuff. I bought a half doll with the whisk bottom @ the same flea for $2.00. The rest of the stuff in the table was really trash, but he wanted big bucks for it. Lucky for me.

You guess it. I collect hats too. The ones with pretty roses are almost impossible to find and when you do be ready to pay big bucks. This beauty was in a suitcase and was sold to me for $3.00. The lady thought there was no saving this one. I took it to a hat steamer and voile!

I love this one, is not an older one, just new and pretty. I met this lady one day @ the shop and she was wearing an identical one. We talked and visit forever, the next day she show at the shop with an identical hat for me. BLESSED, indeed.

Miss sweety bear standing by a lamp I bought about 10 years ago @ what was at the time my favorite antique shop Shabbytiques. They have gone out of business since then but one of her best dealers open her own shop, just as amazing if not more BLOOM AND BEE SWANKY.

Next is my quilt chair. It was a pain in the behindny to upholster. It resides in my princess room but it used to reside in my living room during my pink, yellow and red phase.

Another thing I love to have lots around me is pillows. I buy pillows, I sew pillows, I dream pillows. To me there is nothing like a bed full of them. The more the merrier.

Needlepoint and roses, yumm! Silk, yumm.

Can you believe this one? I bought it @ Tuesday Morning for $25.00. A bargain if you ask me. It is made of organza.

This little boudoir one was a gift from my best friend Debra. Every year she will give me something I love for Christmas, she knows me well.

This is my favorite pillow of them all. I bought it @ Ross a million years ago, when the quality of the stuff was better. Remember when they sold Waverly and Ralph Lauren stuff? No more of that, sadly to said.

Well pinky friends, this is all for today. It was the happiest time last Saturday, to come home and find all your comments. I appreciate each and everyone. Thanks the the Queen of Pink Saturday, Ms. Beverly. Visit with her @ http://howsweetthesound.typepad.com/my_weblog/..
