A peek in my pretty curio cabinet. I paid $100 for this cabinet over 15 years ago. At the time it really was too much but I loved it and so told DH I had found my Birthday present (which was still several months away!)
Lenox Figurine with blue dress is holding the sweetest little bird on her hand. Head vase found for 1.00 at yard sale. My mother brought me back the flapper girl head music box from Las Vegas when she went to a trade show with our family friend Millicent years ago.
I would love to find more of these sweet pin money banks. Rumor has it that women would sew to make a little extra money and then save what they earned in these sweet purse banks.

Pink marble clock base- love love! This is a 3 piece set -
I love this cottage print found at a yard sale for pennies. I paired it with this pretty chocolate velvet matte frame also found at a yard sale.
The original view master! I think they were called picture graphs but am not positive. This picture is of some vintage ladies that fell out of a wheelbarrow. They all look like they have been having a grand time!

Hello, Mary,
Your pinks are all so pretty! I especially loved seeing the pin money banks. I did not know the history behind them. It was very interesting to find out. Enjoy your Pink Saturday!! Blessings to you! Vicki
So many pretties in this room. Love that picture of the ladies falling out of the wheelbarrow. How fun! I don't think I remembered to tell you in a previous post how beautiful that chandellier is. How lucky that it was in the home. Your pin money banks are so pretty, and I still love those draperies. laurie
How Beautiful!

The pin money purses are such a neat thing to collect! I love the chandelier in your room - and the curio cabinet full of things that are dear to you is the best.
Happy Pink Saturday!
Oooo I collect pin banks too! I have 6 now I think. They are like cookies, you just have to have more lol. I found many on Ebay.....and paid more for some than others but the best find of all was a black purse pin bank I found at at thrift store for $4. They didnt even know what they had hehehehe. :)
girl it is all just so pretty...feminine and soft!
happy weekend

So much to comment on...okay, my faves, the pin money purses, but I really like the tassel touch on the door, too. (Still on my Pink Saturday rounds. Have a great week!)
I love all your pink lovelies! My favorite is the vase lady head...I had one of those when I was little and had my tonsils out....I've been trying to find one and can't! Thanks for visiting me. Happy PS!
Oh I loved the peek inside your curio cabinet.

Dear Mary,
thanks for stopping by my and for leaving such a sweet comment.
Glad to hear you had a wonderful time with your blogging friend, her husband and friends. Wow, you already have snow... we get snow once in a blue moon so must tell you I'd hate it (my teenage daughter woyuld love it instead).
Love your pics. All those cute figurines, china and must admit your chandy with tyose cute pink roses is my fave. I love roses so much. Spotted a teapot and plate sith rose decore which is simply gorgeous. You should offer them as a giveaway and have me win!!! of course I'm only joking but they are absolutely beautiful and very much eye-catching.
Hugs
