I wanted to show you a lovely vase I purchased in a lot at a local auction. I purchased several sweet items for my Etsy Shoppe, Vintage Window, but this baby was mine to keep.
The lovely pitcher stands about 16" tall. It has beautiful roses and a scene painted on both the front and back. I'm not sure of the artist or the age, as it was unmarked and unsigned.
Here is a photo of the back. This picture came out better than the first. Look at all that beautiful detail. Can you say "Saaaweeeeeeeeeet"?
Here is a close up of the front design. Look at the lovely roses all around and the pink color is so soft and the details........ah' just perfect for my shabby bathroom.
I also want to remind everyone to sign up for my giveaway in celebration of my 113th post (yeah I forgot to do this at 100 so I'm a little late, but better late than never). You have until April 30th to sign up to win a Custom Painted Floorcloth. Details are in the previous post.

You can visit my Etsy Shop, StepOnItArt for more designs.
Wendy @TheShabbyNest is also hosting a giveaway. Check out her blog for your chance to win A Numbered Pillow.
Another great giveaway is by Celeste of Larearose in celebration of her 100th post, A Surprise Spring Giveaway. I love surprises!!!
Celeste is an incredible artist who has the most organized studio I've ever seen. Her artwork is lovely and can also be found at her EtsyShoppe.

And one more giveaway to tell you about.
Penny @ Lavender Hill Studio is celebrating her 400th post. She is giving away a custom mosaic picture frame. If you're not familiar with Penny's mosaics, you should be. Her work has been featured in several publications and each piece is just beautiful.
I also have to mention a lovely shop I visited yesterday, Seriously Sissy I can't do this shop justice in just one post, so I plan to do several over the next week. I didn't have time to upload all the photos I took while there, but you can visit their website in the meantime. STAY TUNED.....you will not want to miss this one.
Have a happy day
Kris

Happy Pink Saturday. Your blog is just such a delight to visit each week. Of course, all of the pink goodies always warm my ♥. This week everyone seems to be out-doing themselves!
Wishing you, and all those close to your ♥, a purr-fect weekend filled with joy, peace and gracious living.
That IS a lovely pitcher, I don't blame you for holding on to that one!
Amy
Wow. You did good with that vase!!!! Perfect.
I like the items you have. I have got to look into the ETSY shops. I don't really know what they are but see so man have them. By the way, how large a pice of the floor cloth is available? I thought of doing a new ceiling for a small room but don't want to have to scrape all that old fashioned blown acoustic stuff off. I thought about painting something and then attaching it. Would that work???
Okay!! I LOVE that Pitcher!!! It is Georgousness! Totally!
Happy Pink Saturday!

Hi Kris,
Been a little while since I blogged but here I am :-)
While catching up on your posts that I may have missed, makes me wonder, how do you ever find those treasures? The painted pitcher sure have found a home in your bathroom. And those bathroom/vanity set is just gorgeous! Wouldn't you feel like a queen using those pieces? :-)
(as to Adam Lambert - - - yup, I'm impressed with him too. I think he's the one I'm always looking forward/curious every week cause he really does change things up and try to surprise everyone. And yeah, amazing vocals :-))
What a wonderful pitcher - you must be so pleased! Happy Pink Saturday to you!
Kris, you found something special for sure, that vase is lovely and I hope you can find info on it sometime in the future, Happy Pink Saturday, Char
My girlfriend and I just started a blog to show our Vintage Window Art and people kept saying that "our blog looks awesome and they love our antiques" and then it didn't make much sense, because we make vintage window art from 150 yr. old windows and vintage dishes - I am so glad that I found what they are googling - I love your blog and your tastes and I agree, that vase is A.M.A.Z.I.N.G!!!
I would have kept that pitcher too, it is so beautiful.
I don't remember if I signed up for your givaway, I read about it in one of your posts. I am going to go check because I want to win !!
Happy Pink Saturday,
~Sue~
