PINK SATURDAY - good to be back!

Its been a long time since I have been on here and I have missed all the wonderful blogs that post, so very happy to join in the fun again for tomorrow - July 9th.

Stopped by 1/2 Price Books and found this book that is full of COPYRIGHT FREE vintage images: so great that the cover is PINK!

 a few pages showing what is offered inside the book - wonderful images!!!

 these will definitely be used on ATC's


Last week I found a shoebox full of vintage greeting cards at a local antique mall and this adorable little girl was in the mix - you can't really tell but is has glitter around the door and on her sweet pink dress!

this is another card from the box - the other pink is covered in glitter

this was at the bottom of the box, I HAD to post this because of the tiny little pink ribbon at the top of this graduation announcement from 1926 !! It is in mint condition!

That's all for today - wanted to get my "feet wet", now it is time for me to go view all the other great blogs!

PLEASE STOP BY http://howsweetthesound.typepad.com/my_weblog/ TO VISIT THE OTHER PARTICIAPANTS BLOGS!
Thanks for stopping by!

Hi Robin! Thanks for visiting at The Writer's Reverie - thought I'd drop by to say "hi" - and gush over your finds! That 1926 piece is a find - I love old things. Your greeting cards are nice, too. I have four bins full of my grandmother's cards - she kept everyone - dating back to the 1920's. I'd love to do something with them - but my aunt wants me to just "keep" them. Ya!
Joy!

Wow, what fab finds! The vintage illustrations are wonderful.

What a brilliant find - I'm so jealous! And I love the girly card as well. You have a great 'eye' (and a lot of luck, obviously - I rarely come across things like this).

This week, my contribution is a desktop screensaver calendar. Happy Pink Saturday from the UK!
