I {heart} more pink

I had so much fun gathering some pink pretties last week, that I decided to join in Beverlys Pink Saturday again!! My love for pink started early in my childhood, and never faded... I even got married in a pink dress!!!! Happy Pink Saturday and happy Easter!!

Chair makeovers and more finds

Thank you all so much for the blog love I received from my first Pink Saturday post, I am so thrilled there are so many of you who love pink just like me!!!!

I was browsing through my pictures and found this project I worked on a year ago.... I had bought a director's chair at a garage sale, so I gave it a makeover! First, I dyed the white canvas a bright pink, then I used those new Clorox bleach pens to write some french sayings. It only takes a few minutes to fade the color... I loved how it turned out!!









































I decided to give the same treatment to a couple of beach chairs I had in the garage. This time, I used a sharpie pen in a metallic gold color to write french words, then used coffee and brushed it onto the canvas, going back a second time in random spots to give it a more uneven look!! I really like the results!! You can see the before and after....


































This last weekend we had some beautiful weather, so in addition to some well needed yard work, I did manage to go to a local flea market and estate sales. Here are some of my finds!

At the estate sale I spotted this old springboard, and the price was unrefusable!!!! It rode home with me on top of my car!

Finally, I was thrilled to find this gorgeous vintage rose painting with frame on Ebay for only $26!! These paintings are harder and harder to find and they usually go for a ton of money, so I think I lucked out! I am working on some other projects that I hope to share with you soon!

Latest vintage finds

Kids are back in school from spring break and I finally had the chance to go out and do some thrifting!! I also stopped by our local antique mall, and I am so glad I did because I found this adorable cardboard chest of drawers with vintage wallpaper for a great price!!






























I also found a darling floral hat and a vintage childs book (I just loooove the old illustrations!!).























This great chenille bedspread was a thrifty find, this pattern is always very sought after!!!



















This great coffee table was just waiting for me at the thrift store!! I have to make a confession!! My friend Jeanne and I love to go thrifting together, and combine savings by using her senior discount (sometimes as high as 40%!!). I give her a ride and she shares her discount!







Another great find was this awesome old bed!! I have always loved the curved footboards!! It will get a shabby treatment, maybe even some fabric on the recessed panels...





















I love cherubs, and couldn't resist this massive clock!! It says Newell Studios on the bottom... Never heard of it, have you?

I was thrilled to find this adorable victorian.... Okay, I have to admit I do not know the name of this in English! Help, please!!

And finally, how adorable is this set of vintage kitchen canisters? They are made out of wood and have a Japan sticker on the bottom. I love it!!

Thank you for tagging along with me while I shared my latest finds!! I will be back soon with more vintage goodness!!
