Pink Rosebuds

Welcome to another Pink Saturday, a happy day to share all things pink. Beverly @ How Sweet the Sound is our hostess for this weekly meme, which regularly has more than 100 participants! Please visit Beverly and some of the other participants, and think about joining us next week.
While you're here, I'd love some help with a decision, if you have time. There is a poll on the right sidebar, and I'd like as many opinions/votes as possible. You can get more information on yesterday's post, which is below. Thanks in advance!
Look at this beautiful lamp! I remember the pair being on the night tables in the room my mom and aunt shared as children. They are a deeply frosted pink with three dimensional rosebuds. I think the shades have been changed by my sister, who now has them in her bedroom at the lake house. I remember the shades being a weird kind of plastic that was accordion-folded. The ones she chose are the same size and shape and fit perfectly with the 1930s/40s style of the lamps. Among the family these were thought to be junk lamps, which is how they ended up at the lake, but I found them on etsy for a price I know my sister wouldn't pay for any new lamps!
I hope you enjoy all the pinkness you visit via Beverly @ How Sweet the Sound! Have a safe and fun Halloween!

  2. It's great that you were able to find one just like the ones at the lake house. I remember those plastic accordion shades. I hated them, but they were very popular at the time, at least they were easy to clean, just hose them off, Happy Pink Saturday and Happy Halloween, Char

  4. I love the lamp - it's very reminiscent of Mary Englebreit's kind of thing (or rather, her style is inspired by this gorgeous antique). This week my post isn't pink at all (although it may be a little red in tooth and claw...)

    Happy Halloween and Spooky Pink Saturday!

i have shut off the CAPCHA, so if you are asked to type a word or number, please let me know. It is very annoying and slows down comments.
