Well girls ..its doesn't seem like it been a week since I did this last...Please Check out Beverly's http://http://howsweetthesound.typepad.com/my_weblog/How Sweet the Sound to see all the great PINK stuff today...I know I am having a ball with this because if I posted for a year I could never run out of PINK !!! 
I thought I would show you my PINK sitting room in my bedroom today and yes its PINK.. from the carpet to the walls...now that little side table is really an "Coats and Clark" spool cabinet ca. 1880 it use to be in a general store..the little Settee is also from 1880 but I had it recovered and of course in PINK roses...all those round things you see stacked our old Hat boxes I covered in rose wall paper...And the KITTY taking a nap on my ottoman is so sweet..It never eats, drinks or runs around and I don't have to keep a litter box for it...its my Fake Kitty..it goes with my Fake bird in the bird cage....Now this also is one of many of my "Gone with the wind" lamps with its PINK roses painted on it...
This is an English Chamber set from ca. 1870 and it has little PINK roses on it..Also this is one on many of the Victorian lamps shades that I have made..This shade took me about 12 hours to make ..as its all hand sewn and I dye all the fringe and fabric myself...nothing is glued on these shades... Oh and the piece it is sitting on is one of my oldest antiques..ca. 1740 its a wine cabinet from England...one day I will show you the whole thing..this was the first piece that started my passion of collecting... In 1980
This is my Victorian Ladies sink area..and yes the walls here are also PINK... The lights on the wall were gas lights that my late DH made into electric for me..I just love the glow of the shades on them they are called "Elsie" shades and of course they are what else but PINK...The little vanity lamp and shade I also made...I know Fake flowers are a No No !! but these I added lights to so I use them as a night light...and the sink is in an old dresser from ca.1910 makes a great sink area when I love all things antique and Victorian...
Well girls I hope you enjoyed some of my PINK stuff...now go and visit some of the others and see all their PINK things they are sharing today...Have a great PINK Saturday....I'll see all of you on Monday...as tomorrow is my second Sunday swap meet YAHOO!!! over 300 dealers so I will be out for the day doing my Happy dance for sure...p.s am taking my camera with me!!!
Hugs and Smiles Gloria

Happy Pink Saturday, Gloria! I can tell you right now that Jacob would love, love, love the lights that are converted from gas to electric. That is right up his alley. You are very creative and you sure have some lovely pieces. Hope you are having a fun weekend and I can't wait to see your Mionday edition! ~ Robyn
So many pretty things! I love the vanity and that's a clever idea about the lights in the flowers. Enjoy your swap meet.
Love the lampshades you make! Such meticulous detail.

Hi Gloria! I came by to thank you for following me! I know it's Pink Saturday, but I can't get past that beautiful spool cabinet & the wine chest. They are BEAUTIFUL!!!!
Gloria, it is just a beautiful living room and I love your lamp shade.
Wow! What a big room and what a lot of pink! I love all your fancy lampshades--but what I love most is your wonderful antique furniture pieces.
*smiles and happy pink*

Great decor photos...lovely pink post.
Happy Pink Saturday, Gloria! Oh, what beautiful things you have! I really could shop in your home all day long! Your sitting area is so beautiful! Everything in there. I dearly love your gond with the wind lamp. Your lampshades are to die for! You are so very good, Gloria!! And the chamber set - oh, my goodness. Where on earth have you found all these things? I love your Pinkness!
Be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
Gloria you are pink perfection!! If I had a bedroom like yours I don't think I'd ever come out! And your shades are exquisite!! Vanna
Hi there litle missy Gloria...Your house is so FUN! Pink, blue, yellow or whatever color...you can entertain us forever! ;-) Bo
I don't care what "they" say, I'll use fake flowers and plants--why I still have a fake tree in my living room! Happy Pink Saturday!
It's lovely, my little cherub!!! Oh my, the pink bathroom is quite gorgeous. I'm looking forward to mine being painted in the next couple of months. One room at a time for me! Can't do it all at once with so much around this house. Hah...
Be sure and read tomorrow's post on my blog, sweetpea, you'll enjoy it but bring tissues and prayer.
Smooches,
Connie
Hi Gloria,
Love your sitting room area! How wonderful to have that much space in the bedroom!
hey G!! You had me laughing over at Donnas when you were talking about being on drugs when you added the A to Dawn, I thought you were gonna say you were on LSD or somethin, then I kept reading!! LOLOL!! Well what do you expect me to think when you said you're an old hippee who protested in Berkley! LOLO!! You are a hoot G! xoxoxo
You truly have an amazing talent with your lamps.
On your chamber set, there were a couple of pieces I'm not familiar with. To be honest, the only one I recognize is the chamber pot itself. I have seen pitchers that matched chamber pots, but the largest vessel didn't appear to have a handle for pouring.
This entire room is like a fantasy. Absolutely gorgeous.
Gloria,
(LOL) I love your Daughter's name.. Dawna Marie... sounds like you have a winner on your hands! I hope you have a super weekend!
xooxoxoxo
Donna

You made that lamp shade? Holy crapola, it's just gorgeous, Gloria! And the furniture pieces. Oh my, they're just amazing. Yes, you need to do a post just on some of your older, more precious pieces. I'm amazed when furniture that is so old has been so well preserved. Ooh, I bet you're dancing through that swap right now. Cannot wait to see what you find to take pics of for us! I am soooooooo glad you started blogging!!!!!!
JUstine :o )
Gloria snow?? Lucky girl, it probably looks so pretty! I gotta back away from the computer, I deleted my background a few minutes ago but I got it back LOLOL!! TTYL!! xoxoxo
I'm amazed that you handsew those fabric shades, absolutely stunning. I'd love a close up of it. I have to say I love that spool cabinet from Coats and Clarks! I could put it to so much use in my house!! This certainly is a very genteel room and I love the English feel of it. I just love looking at your treasures.
Gloria, I am drooling over your settee. Everything is gorgeous!
Gloria I have the sparrows nesting in all my backyard birdhouses, its so fun to watch them take stuff into the houses to use for the bedding, I had teeny tiny jenny wrens nest in my porch birdhouse this summer, CUTE!!
Beautiful pink Gloria....I love the bathroom. And I'm still laughing about your comment on my clown post....you cracked me up!
Well HELLO sweet Gloria!! How are you!? Yes, it's me - back from my little hiatus. I just got a wee bit overwhelmed with life around me but decided that blogging is "My Time" so here I am! And look at you with your fabulous blog! I love your pink room! And those lampshades are just gorgeous! Did you ever sell any of them? I love the sink dresser/vanity. It's just beautiful! And I was chuckling along with you about your hubby and the "simple" task of hanging new lights. I know how that one goes - it's never simple with my hubby either! But at least they are handy! Well I am going to add you to my blogroll so I can come back really soon. Have a great weekend! ~ Laurie
Beautiful furnishings! Happy belated pink saturday!
Hey girl...see where you told Sue you got a 'dusting' of snow!!! Maybe you just got a heavy frost and didn't have your glasses on! lol lol It is cold down here today ...I got the heat on...may even turn the gas logs on! I even made me another pot of vegetable soup with some cornbread! lol Hope you have had a great day girl..
Happy Pinkness to you, Gloria...your antiques are divine..your pink color really looks good with all of the natural wood. Have a great week and stop by for a visit!
Peace and Pink
