Happy Pink Saturday!
My pink contribution for this Pink Saturday is this three-piece coffee set which is marked Made in Italy. It belongs to my mother, and we keep it on one of the sofa end tables in our living room. I love the little pieces of fruit on the lids. I'm not sure how old it is, but I know she purchased it at a garage sale more than twenty-five years ago.
Please take the time to visit other participants, and leave a comment to let them know you stopped by to enjoy their pink. Pink Saturday is about having fun, and giving us a chance to meet others in the blogging community. That is why it is important that we get out and visit each other. I promise you it is worth the effort because you will not only see lots of pink, you will meet incredibly nice people. Please refer to my post dated January 8 for more information about Pink Saturday.
Please remember that my reminder e-mail stated I needed your plan for participating today no later than 8 a.m. EST yesterday. If you don't see your name and link here it is because I did not receive your plan for participating by that time.
I want to thank those of you that take the time to leave me a comment. I love reading what you all have to say.
Here are our Pink Saturday participants:
What a gorgeous tea set, Beverly! I love the fruit on the lids too, it is very unusual and unique!

What a beautiful tea set you have sweetie, and a lovely thing to have to remember your dear mother by too! I was too slow for Pink Saturday, but I do just happen to have a pink post up for today, although that was just a coincidence! lol Wishing you a wonderfully happy weekend Beverly!

What a lovely ~Coffee Set~ - we must have been perhaps on the same page. The tea set I placed on my post is very similar in thought. Pink Saturday is growing by leaps and bounds - I think it is wonderful !!! Have a beautiful weekend.

It's a very pretty set. I could just imagine having an afternoon tea with my closest friends (even though I'm more of a coffee kind of gal). Still, that wouldn't stop me from admiring it. :-)
Thanks for Pink Saturday. Can't wait to visit others and what "pinkness" are they offering.

Oh Beverly,
I blew it. Just saw your note on your blog about letting you know ahead.
So, My post is pink, but my name is not on the list.
I'll try again next week.
Can you send me the reminder you were talking about. please.
Blessings,
BArbara Jean
Oh, your tea set is lovely.

Good morning Beverly, I love the tea set and I don't remember it. One of my attributes is being observant. Do you believe that??? Smiling BIG. There are so many bloggers in the pink today. I am trying hard to visit as many as I can. Are you up? call me.
Love you...Jeanne

Beverly, Your coffee pot set is so charming. I love that it was your mothers! Thank for hosting another pink saturday. 144 participants, that is amazing. pink hugs, Ellen
Posted by: Ellen | February 28, 2009 at 08:33 AM
Bev, your so lovely post brought a quick question to my mind right now: what do you think, whether the most valuable antiques are our dear beloved family, or our dear old friends? I know it's the most hard question to reply:)
Maybe you'll be surprised but I do have a very similar set but color is different, blue:) Happiest Pink Weekend to you from the heart~

Okay before I go to the castle "with my ears on", let us have a cup of coffee. I use milk and sugar. Gone are the days of such elegance. Now a cup is put in the "mike" and voila. Seriously though the coffee set is simply marvelous.

Such a lovely coffee set! THANKS for including me this week.
Posted by: Amy | February 28, 2009 at 09:48 AM
Beverly, thank you for hosting. If someone had told me six months ago that I would spend some of my Saturday time looking at the pink things others love, others meaning folks literally spread across America, I would have wondered what mental condition I was going to develop. :>
But it is fun! And I think I am still quite "normal." I really like your cheerful tea set.

Wowee! Lots of Pinksters! I like that little coffee set - I think it's probably faience like my Quimperware set. I like the darling little molded pieces of fruit on the top, too!!
Posted by: g | February 28, 2009 at 10:41 AM
I'm sure your mother loves seeing it displayed in a place of honor. Happy Pink Saturday.

The coffee set is so pretty. Your mom

Hope you have a week of pink and are
not snowed in!
I'm watching it snow right
now but sadly it's not from my cabin
in the Smoky's. I look forward to springtime so
We can get everything situated up there and *then*
I can look forward to next winter. :0)

Wonder if you'll even see this comment Beverly - there are SO MANY now!
Just wanted to tell you I didn't laugh at your comment regarding karma - in fact I was quite stunned that you said such a nice thing about me - but then you are very good at that, making nice comments I mean! You are a very generous lady and I thank you deeply.
Are you prepared for the snow tonight? We decided not to go out for bread and milk - will survive on whatever we can dig up in the 'frig and cabinets!!!
Hugs - Mary.
P.S. Glad our Jeanne is coming along well.
