My Giveaways From Rebecca & Stefanie

Hi Everyone, I wanted to show you the sweet goodies from 2 giveaways that I recently won. First up, is the Giveaway I won from Rebecca at Belle Maison; a box of YUMMY chocolate truffles!! I chose the Chocolate caramel with sea salt, and boy are they delicious!!



As you can see, quite a bit of them are already gone (the box had 12)...I did share some with my family....honest!! :)



And next we have the Giveaway I won from Stefanie at Rose Petals and Rust, which included 2 sweet tea towels edged in aqua crochet trim, a sweet vintage plate with cute roses, and some adorable faux cookies, and a charming cupcake hangtag. These sweet treats will go in my sewing room, as those colors are what I decorate with in there :)


Here is a close up of the pretty plate...aren't these roses so sweet :)



Thank you Stefanie and Rebecca for having such wonderful giveaways!! I am so honored to have been chosen the winner of each of them :) You ladies are such sweethearts!! Warmest Hugs to both of you!!

Pretty Pink Rose Plates for Pink Saturday

Happy Pink Saturday to all my Bloggie Friends!! I'm doing my post early as I have a wedding reception to go to Saturday afternoon, and won't be home for most of the day. I'll visit those tonight, who like me, put their posts up early, and then try to visit a few in the morning. The rest I will do tomorrow night and Sunday :)

And of course, I want to give a big Thank you to Beverly, for hosting this super duper fun event every week! You can click HERE to check out all the other lovely ladies participating :)

And also a reminder to everyone, I currently have 2 giveaways still going on...a link to each of them can be found on my sidebar to give you the details on how you can enter. There is only 1 more week to go!!

Now, for this weeks post for Pink Saturday, I thought I would show you some of my collection of Vintage plates (and bowls) that have gorgeous pink roses...most of these are handpainted! First up is this beautiful Berry set by Royal Rudolstadt. Funny story.....I purchased the larger bowl by one seller on ebay, and the smaller bowls by another seller on Ebay! What are the chances of being able to do that!



Here is a closer view of the larger bowl...aren't the roses on this 2die4!!



All of the pieces have this signature on them.



And each piece has this stamp on the bottom. And so do the plates you will see in the next picture.



Here are 3 plates, also by Royal Rudolstadt ~ these have a different rose design than the set of bowls do, but I think these are more lovely :)



These last 3 photos are of some of my other vintage rose plates...some are marked Germany, some Bavaria, one is marked E.S. Prussia....some are marked Hand Painted, and a couple have no markings to be found.

The pretty pink paper rose you see in the photos was made by my good friend Rhonda (she is also the one who makes the gorgeous faux cakes!) you can click HERE to take you to her fabulous website!





Almost all vintage china I purchase, I always make sure they have the same color scheme....pink roses (of course) with accents of green and white. Most of my plates you see here are displayed either hanging on the wall or up on a shelf.

I hope you have enjoyed my post this week for Pink Saturday :) Please do go and visit all the other blogs participating to see lots of pretty pinks for your eyes to behold! Remember, one can NEVER see or have or own too much pink!!

Hugs to you, Brenda

Goodwill and Ebay finds for me!

A couple of days ago, I once again stopped at my local Goodwill store, and found a couple of things to bring back home with me. I'm surprised they don't know me by name yet as I am there usually a couple times a week!

But first, I wanted to show you these gorgeous soft pink roses I purchased from a seller on ebay, and plan to use them in future pretties :)



My first treasure I found at GW was this beautiful Vintage rose hooked rug, for $4.99! Can you believe someone wanted to get rid of this beauty? OMG!!



My other sweet treasure was this lamp....the shade I will be giving a makeover at some time, but I was really interested in the base, as I knew it would be perfect for the lampshade I made over with a sweet pink girls frilly ruffled skirt. Click HERE for that post. It was silver in color (looked as though someone had painted it), but I knew it would look fab painted white. The cost for this lamp base & shade was $5.00.



And here it is all painted cottage white, with the pretty lampshade I had :) Isn't she gorgeous! I LOVE it!!



Here is a close-up of the base....I love the style and detail. Feel free to click on any image to enlarge them :)



Tomorrow is my grocery shopping day, and you can be sure I will be stopping at that towns local goodwill to see what treasures await me there :)
