This old pottery scotty dog was very cheap and very brown when I found him. Two coats of spraypaint later, and he's fit to come inside and live! Question: Should I paint some eyes on the poor guy, or leave him be?
I love this old vase! It's got a real gritty surface to it, almost like sand, and I think those starbursts are so 50s fabulous!
I found this metal candle holder at a garage sale last year. It was black, but I knew right away that it would be pretty in pink! I added a little pottery bird to perch inside it. So that's my new thing. Finding metal stuff and spray painting it either pink or white. Either Candy Pink or Heirloom White by Rustoleum. If there are any Rustoleum execs out there, I am available to be your spokesperson!
If you would like to see lots more of the color PINK, head over to How Sweet The Sound, where Beverly is our hostess every week! Please pop in to say hello, because she puts alot of work into making this party so much fun for all of us!
I would also like you to pay a visit to Anne at Anne Fannie's Green Acres. I love how this gal decorates her garden!
How great! I Love those scottie planters and I thin it is great you painted it your self!! What super great finds you have there! Enjoy!

Wonderful re-dos. I can't imagine that Scottie dog any color but pink. He's so cute.

ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting Blackberry Creek and leaving a comment. I hopped right over to see what you have going. I think I've been to Old Glory Cottage before. Everything looks very familiar. Anyway, I signed up to follow so I can keep up with you. Your little pink scotty planter is adorable.
ReplyDeleteWow what great pink finds! I vote NO eyes. They just never come out right, and he looks nice and "vintagy" now. My kind of pup, housetrained and PINK.
ReplyDeleteHello!! I never THOUGHT about painting one of those planters...it opens up a whole new dimension on what to do to the ones that are cute, but painted UGLY!!
ReplyDeleteI am wild about those vintage metal candle/lanterns. I have several...in all sizes!! I even have some that are on long poles..and they sick in the ground!! I've kept mine black, but yours are darling as pinks!!
Hope you're having a great PINK SAT!! dana
Pretty finds!
ReplyDeleteHappy Pink Saturday.
Enjoy a great day.

ReplyDeleteHi Carol, Things look so much better painted pink, I agree with you 100%! Scotty dog looks fine without eyes, I would leave her just the way she is (pink, must be a girl doggie!)

ReplyDeleteHi, I understand congratulations are in order as you won Linda's Giveaway :) Love your garage sale finds - they're great.
ReplyDeleteOh, I do like all 3 of your pinks. I say no to the eyes on the dog, I don't think they would have been painted if his original color were pink, but that is just me. LOL
ReplyDeleteHappy PS

Hi,
ReplyDeleteThat scottie is cute. I guess you can try painting eyes and if you dont like it just repaint it in pink. I like it the way it looks now. Great finds. I love what you did with everything. Thanks for sharing.

I vote for no eyes. :) I want to tell you how much I love your red, white and blue banner. I fly my small flags in a flower planter on the front porch all summer long.
ReplyDeleteHappy Pink Saturday. Don't you just love garage sale finds? I hit the mother lode yesterday at the last place I stopped at. Had almost given up the morning as a bust. Hope you are having a fantastic weekend and staying cool. ~ Lynn
like the scotty dog. i wouldn't do anything to the eyes. have a good day.
ReplyDeleteHi Carol!
ReplyDeleteLoving your PINKS!
Thank you SO MUCH for the sweetest comments on my Halloween folk art! Really, I don't think I can get my big, swelled head through the door!
I've been seriously contemplating selling on Etsy. Maybe it's time!
YES! The FALL is so great isn't it? Our electric bill was sky-high because of all the air-conditioning the past month, but I still yearn for cooler, crispier days of Autumn!

Hi Carol,

Just wanted to thank you for stopping by my blog and leaving a comment on my first pink Saturday.
ReplyDeleteI live in GA now, but I was born and raised near Chicago.
I like your pinks - think I like the pink vase with the star burst the best!
Sandie
I love your pink Post! There are some great ideas there! Thanks so much for stopping by my blog!
ReplyDeleteHugs, Amy
Love it Love it !!! There was a time I was afraid to paint anything,thanks to my father's "Always stain so you can see the wood advice"thank goodness those days are gone forever!!! My parents were selling a hutch and wouldn't sell it to me because they knew that I would paint it LOL Great post. Meg
ReplyDeleteJust found your blog. My name is also Carol, and we live in a Sears kit home too. Our is the Maytown model.
ReplyDeleteSo glad I found your blog!
Hi Carol!
ReplyDeleteLove that Scotty dog you painted!!!
So cute--and the star vase is to die for!
love,kelee
Happy Pink Saturday! Hope it was a great one. Thanks for stopping by my blog. I really like that pink candle holder. Isn't it great what a little spray paint will do. Also, that scottie planter is cute. I vote for no eyes. I think it looks more artistic without them.
ReplyDeleteFun pinks this week! ~ Sarah
ReplyDeleteI just love that old vase and that pink candle holder. What great finds! Hope you have a great week.
ReplyDeleteYou know, I may have begun to expand my repertoire a little more. The only room I have any pink is my daughter's room. Although I have bought a few pink things lately...I was planning on selling them???
ReplyDeleteCute stuff...the doggie planter is similar (it's a dog, too) to the one I bought.
Wonderful pinks - I love all your vintage gatherings! Thanks for stopping by, and sorry it took so long to get back to you. I had to get rid of my old computer and have been trying to get the new one all set up and ready to go! Happy Pink Saturday - a few days late!!
ReplyDeleteOh, you have some wonderful finds!!
ReplyDeleteHappy PINK Saturday to you!
