One of my favorite things to write about is "what we collect"....in this world of blogging, my eyes have been opened to so many ideas and interests. The picture above is from the now closed Black Eyed Susan's Kitchen, and this was one of the ways that I liked to display the fragile, vintage cup and saucer sets.
This image is another corner in the store displaying hand painted signs and some very special pottery vases. Coordinated by color, I think this was very eye catching.
There was always a corner featuring vintage and painted items in pink....as you can probably tell from the tone of this post, I am missing my little store today...however, it is Pink Saturday, and I have other blog posts to read that I know will cheer me up...I can always count on Pink Saturday for the cheerful side of life. Please visit Beverly at How Sweet the Sound for more posts. More about vintage collectibles in future posts!
♥, Susan
Such a lovely post! Wishing you a happy Pink Saturday and blessed Easter.

Your store looked like a place I could have spent lots of money!! Have a wonderful Easter weekend Susan. I love your post below. We skyped in my niece from New Zealand last Christmas.

Hi Susan, Happy Pink Saturday. I know what you mean. I miss my little corner of the antique store I used to be in. It was like playing house. I have missed it so much I have applied for a spot in a "new" shop that has opened up out here. Bobby G. says I am a glutton for punishment. :)

A pink Easter to you and to your family!

Susan,
I love how you displayed items in your shop. I am especially drawn to your beautiful teacups and saucers. I would have been a frequent shopper in your store!
