Pink Saturday #5, Pink Teacup

My contribution to this week's Pink Saturday is this beautiful pink teacup and saucer that I found at a local thrift shop this spring for $10. I fell in love with the beautiful pink, especially as it's so intense!
I have always collected porcelain plates, but when I saw this, I thought I might start collecting cups and saucers! I had another set that was still floral, but with just a little pink, but it fell and broke. Oh well.


My post this Saturday is short and sweet as I did a LOT of blogging this week! If you enjoy Parade of Homes tours, scroll on down to take a look at three beautiful professionally decorated homes that I toured last Saturday!


Hope everyone has a restful and relaxing Saturday!

    Morning girl...Happy Pink Saturday! That little teacup set is adorable...I don't have any teacups..but I have always thought about finding one in that "Desert Rose" Pattern (Mrs Headly had that set of dishes when I was a girl) and maybe putting a silk pink African Violet in it..cause she always had violets in her kitchen window...hummmbut that would mean me going out and actually looking for "PINK" stuff...oh my word! lol Have a great weekend sweetie!

    I Love the pink cup and saucer. I also loved looking at the Parade of Homes you posted. I loved the deck on the back overlooking the lake, didn't you. I did not like the scribble scrabble on the walls either. I did like the record display. Happy Pink Sat.

    Good morning Kady :)

    Beautiful teacup!

    Actually it only took us about an hour to get to the caverns and two hours to drive all the way to the Lake. Not too bad, huh? ;)
