Pink Saturday Oct.22, 2011 & Flea Market Finds

I will honor Pink Saturday 
by starting off with my Pinks!


 I just made these little pink girls.
I am so lucky that my husband digs for antique bottles & finds so much good stuff.
I love the pink glitter in the old bottles.



Time to share my Friday morning flea market finds.
I love animals & birds so when I saw this painting I had to take it home.
It's really big & I love the colors.
I am going to polish up the frame too.
It was $40 which is more than I usually spend at the flea market
but I decided to splurge today!



I found these old cake tins (50 cents each)
I thought they would re-purpose well.
I am thinking of filling with fresh cranberries & adding a taper candle to the center
Perfect for my Thanksgiving table!


On a past flea market excursion I found an old ribbon from a horse show.
Today I found this old tobacco card. ($1)
I want to make an equestrian vignette..
Still need to hunt down a few more pieces to complete it.


How about these little plaster frames for just $1.00 for all 3!!
I am sure I can re-purpose these into something pretty.

Thank you for stopping by today....for more pink fun, be sure to stop by
Have a happy weekend!
xo Tami

What fun finds.
The three little frames are beautiful and I'm sure you will have no problem finding a good purpose for them. And the tray with the swan is great too.

Happy Pink Saturday Tami Sweetie..
Your little girls atop the bottles are absolutely exquisite. I love the beautiful details to each. The deather boa, the pearls, and the little roses are so gorgeous. Love the use of the velvet and netted ribbons as well.

Wow did you ever find some goodies today. Your picture is so serene. I find peace just gazing at its beauty. Love the little frames, and that pan is so grand. I can't wait to see it filled with cranberries and a taper candle in the middle. What a wonderful idea sweet friend. Love the horse card as well. Can't wait to see it combined with the ribbon you found previously.

Have a glorious Pink Saturday. Thanks for sharing. Country hugs and much love, Sherry

Really neat creations using old bottles.

Love your finds! The old bundt pans will look great on your Thanksgiving table. Maybe a horseshoe for your equestrian vignette? Black for the little plaster frames? So many possibilities!!

Great flea marketing!
