Today for Pink Saturday I thought I would share my two vintage sewing baskets. This one came from a garage sale last year, and it sits on a bookshelf in our bedroom. It holds miscellaneous junk.
This is another shelf on that same bookshelf.
This sewing basket came from Ebay, and I think I won it for $2. Again, no sewing supplies in this one either!
An old plastic flower in a jar.
This is an old Fannie May candy box.
I was told it was supposed to be used as a glove or handkerchief box after you ate the candy.
Sorry that it's looking more purpley than pink. It's very gloomy outside. But can you see where it says Fannie May there in the corner?
And there is a mirror inside. Do you suppose it was there so that you could watch yourself pop those chocolates in your mouth?
I'm using it to store my vintage hankie collection. Some of these were my Grandma's, and alot of them have pink in them!
And I had to share all of these goodies that I won from Jaqueline's giveaway! Lots of pink things in there, and I especially love the cupcake! Thanks Jackie!
If you have the time, please pay a visit to RUST & RUFFLES. Janis has the prettiest pictures in each and every post. Check out her post on July 20th. I'm sure you'll be just as dazzled as I was!
Now please head over to How Sweet The Sound, where Beverly hosts Pink Saturday every week, and you will find a list of all the other Pinkies!

Hi Carol,
I just left comments about the painting issue on your last post.

Your hankies are so pretty and how special to have some that are your Grandma's!
Very nice wins!

Happy weekend.

Now you share today is so pretty. I love your sewing baskets. They look so fun and festive on your shelf. I really love the wicket looking one.
Now your Fanny May candy tin that has the vintage hankies in it, oh my what a beautiful way to share them. A special way to preserve Grandma's too. They look so pretty in there. I had never thought about a tin for that. Thank you so much for sharing with me today.

Those are wonderful pink sewing baskets. My mom still uses a sewing basket. It sits by her chair in the family room. She's not one to sit with idle hands and always has some project to work on while watching TV. Happy Pink Saturday.

I love your pink sewing baskets. I would love a really nice sewing basket but the problem is I cant sew so it would never really be used!

Hi Carol,
Thanks for coming by my blog and leaving such a nice comment.
I love all your pinks you are showing off today.
What a great way to store your vintage hankies.
I am following your blog, so I'll be back often.
hugs

Wonderful pinks! The sewing baskets and handkerchief box are pretty. Have a great week!
You do have a lot of nice 'pink' things. I like your sewing baskets and you got a great deal.
I love the Fannie May candy box -I wonder why the mirror is in there??
Sandie
Carol, these are SO cute! Love your pinks. That first basket just makes me smile in the biggest way.
XO,
Sheila :-)
thanks for your comment on my blog re nose injury. when things happen then you need to go with the flow.
I have the same pink sewing basket. And I use mine for miscellaneous junk, too. Wouldn't it be weird if we had identical junk inside them?
I have been kicking myself since July 3rd, passing up a sewing basket just like this because I am not a "pink" person. GRRRR!!!
