Vintage Lace, Rick-Rack and Granddaughters ~

Oh my how the years have flown by

I watched her being born...(*sniff *sniff)

This is my oldest granddaughter Allysha.

She just turned 10 years old...and

She is visiting me this week.

We went to her favorite store yesterday

The Goodwill ~

This was my bargain of the day.

Old rick rack still in their original packaging

I got 20 packages in lovely pastel colors.

Some will be landing in my Etsy shop soon~

My adorable little granddaughter Keira

stopped by to see me on Sunday

*AND* Brought me this beautiful photograph

I love it!

Vintage lace runner found at a thrift store...

Isn't the lace beautiful ~

Here it is on my dresser

My dresser and mirror are the only things in my bedroom

that are not painted WHITE

*BUT* I want to do that

Someday.

Have a beautiful day today.

Pink Saturday ~ Vintage Treats

This is my first time participating in Beverly's Pink Saturday over at How Sweet the Sound and I tried to come up with a unique idea to start things off. Do you remember playing this game at parties? You put several items on a tray and pass it around for a limited time and then you take it away and everyone tries to remember what was on the tray? That was my inspiration for this post. I hope you enjoy all my vintage "pink goodies" today ~ I have amassed quite a collection of paint chips and one of these days I will think of something to do with them. I love this little pink cat pin...it is from my childhood ~

Gotta love these vintage "BON TON" buttons! Several years ago when I was visiting my sister in Pennsylvania she took me to a Salvation Army thrift store which was known jokingly out there as the "Bon Ton". When I found these buttons sometime later, I just had to pick them up !

Lots of vintage goodness here ~

Vintage pink rick rack, lace and hanky and straight pins ~

Do you remember these pink curler picks from years ago?? I found an unopened package and added them to my collection of vintage goodness ~

I hope you enjoyed my trip down "memory lane" and if you have time today go ahead and study my pictures for a few minutes and then see if you can remember all the goodies displayed! Have a wonderful day! Blessings~
