Last Saturday was my first "Pink Saturday" and I had a miserable time finding "pink" in my home. Oh yes, a little here and there, but no collections or anything to make a little vignette...so I took the advice of a friendly blogger friend and went shopping!! One of my favorite pastimes of course. I went to a little town that has a little main street with a lot of little shops with a lot of little treasures, and I did find some pink. Now...you must spot the pink:
Wow, look at all this stuff! Where do I begin? 
Oh my, I even want the wallpaper! (And everything else, but I practice restraint).
Have you spotted any pink yet?
Oh yes, finally!! Isn't this the sweetest!! Did I buy it? Well, err...no. What would I do with one teacup and saucer? I may be blonde but I am a practical blonde. I did however purchase quite a few other treasures that I am going to save for another day (hint: Blue Monday...)I wish my post were longer and you are probably wondering what the heck is up with Blondie that she has not written a post that exceeds 2000 words, but it is late and I need some well deserved sleep after my pink quest today. By the way, I meant to go to many of the other shops along this little main street but my camera battery became "exhausted" just like me now!
Pay a visit to all the Pink Saturday participants that worked so hard to share their pink treasures with all of us and give a big thanks to Beverly at How Sweet the Sound who works so hard to organize this great day!!!!!

I spy some pink goodies on those shelves. I love to browse these type of shops too,it is like a stroll down memory lane!!! Pink can be found in the most interesting spots! Welcome to Pink Saturday!
I did see some pinks in the shop and the teacup is lovely Happy pink Saturday
That little shop looks like exactly the type that I like to explore.
You can always find pink on the internet to post about when in a bind too.
Good morning Jane, I am sorry it took me so long to answer your sweet comment. I found your post through Beverly's list of Pinkies. At least that's where I think I found you. Your name grabbed me because that is my sister's name too. Her middle name is Anne. We actually call her Jane Anne. Her friends and co-workers call her Jane. When we call her at work and ask for Jane Anne they get confused. LOL. She is a blonde too and very smart.
I love your pink today and your text and photos too. Who doesn't love antique shops. I used to sell antiques with my sisters. I have retired for a while but I still love the hunt. Smile.
Happy Pink Saturday Jane.
Hugs...Jeanne
Jane I forgot to answer your question about the desk. It is very old, probably early 1900's. I bought it when I was an antique dealer. Those desks can sell for up to a thousand dollars or more. depending on the condition and style. I paid $500.00 at the time because it had the inlaid on the front and was in good condition. Now it would sell for much much more. I would never sell it though. Smile. There are reproductions out they and they are lovely.
Hugs again...Jeanne
Beautiful all vintage! Happy pink Saturday!
What a great little shop! I bet you could spend hours in there. I know I was supposed to be looking for pink (and I did spy some), but I'm lusting after the yellow apocathery (sp?) jar in the white cabinet haha.
Great trip, thanks! Kathy
Well it looks like you'll be forced to go shopping EVERY Saturday now...LOL. Thanks for the little tour. :)Nancy
Oh, PLEASE understand that we LIKE short posts. I for one, hate when someone rambles on and on... kind of like I'm doing here!
I'll share a secret: I don't have much pink in my home either, so I show one thing each Saturday to streeetch it out.
Thanks for sharing. Happy Pink Saturday!
Ooooo...I could spend some time in this place...and probably some serious cash as well!! LOL
I am participating but didnt get my name in on time...shame on me!!
Have a wonderful weekend!
Oh, yeah...I see PINK...every where. Loved the little trip with you..Thanks for taking us along.

Hi Jane,
today is my first Pink Saturday and I've had so much fun visiting and looking at everyone's pictures.
I love that teacup...It must have been very expensive, I don't think I could have left it behind! LOL
Have a great Saturday,
Deanna :)
Hi, Jane! Welcome to 'Pink Saturday'! What a lovely way to spend time looking at all the goodies in that shop!
What a great little shop. Wish I had gone with you, we coould have stopped for lunch.
Thanks so much for the shopping venture. It's very cold and snowy out today so it was nice to stay all warm and cozy and at the same time go shopping!
Naaa! We want you to post whatever it inspires you to post, otherwise all of those 2000 will not inspire us! I love all of your shopping treasures. I do love teacups...I am not blonde...well, I am STRAWBERRY blonde mixed with grey but I have quite a collection of mixed and matched tea cups that someday I will put in a pretty china cabinet...of course I will need a pretty china cabinet first and a space to put it. LOL! Happy Pink Saturday!
Erin :)

You sound just like me...I don't have much pink in my home, either. I'd have to venture out to find some, I'm sure! That store looks like such a fun place to browse around in!
Oooooooo I want to come shopping with you next time! Very nice place! Thanks for shopping for all the pinkies! Happy PS!
Don't you just love these trips! Pink window shopping!
Oh my goodness... this shop is fantastic... I enlarged the pictures to get a closer look and I'm still drooling. Can't wait to see your treasures. Thanks for the visit to see the suitcase of Pink.. the dolls head is porcelain. She's something I'll always treasure.. have a super w/k my friend.. hugs ~lynne~

P.S. What a cute antique store!
I love that cup!
Hi Jane - what a sweet little flowery teacup. I might've been tempted to get it, since I'm not always practical. ;)
I just saw where you explained the retreat on my comments - that sounds like such a special time for your children, & what a good time for them to take it. I hope your daughter has a special weekend! {{hugs}}}
Happy Belated Pink Saturday!
Oh I saw PINK in your posts. I know I have problems with Blue and so whenever I see something blue I try to take a picture of it too!
Thank you for sharing this neat antique store and the goodies...and the pink too!
