As you can see, I am painting up a storm...well, almost..
This is my beloved, very large, pie safe that came from an old hotel in Vancouver, B. C.,Canada. I have had it for a very long time.....I found it in an old barn with tall weeds growing around it. Oh my..it was such a mess and dirty, too!!
It was owned by an antique dealer in Blaine, Wa. He gave me the history of it, and he was the one that retrieved it from the old hotel they were tearing down. It is so heavy four men have to carry it! It's as bad as moving a piano!! We got it home and I painted it a soft cream. Well, the cream is gone now, and this beautiful white has made it seem like a new piece of furniture and I get a happy smile :-) every time I pass by it! Can you believe that I have been wanting to get it repainted for FOUR years????
~I took all my china and stemware out and into the dishwasher it all went. The vintage linens into a gentle soak and everything else hand washed so, everything was freshly ironed and clean to put back into the cupboard.~
~My "Blue" Collection on the top~
While I had the can of paint open I ran upstairs to get this, once green, cute shelf to make it white too...what a difference some paint can make!!!
Finished, Below~~
And, to the horror of my hubby, I took the brush on a little break from the Pie Safe and started my Hoosier Cabinet so I am forced to finish it and I hope to this weekend, but I had to quit for a bit and work on some pink for eBay and here is some of what I have been doing.....~
Pretty pin cushion pins~~
A sweet pillow
SOLD
~~~~~~~~~~**********~~~~~~~~~~
And another pretty pillow as well as a pair of darling lavender filled hanging "booties" that will just look cute hanging almost anywhere, and two collectible pin cushions.....that can be viewed on EBAY
This cutie is made with a darling Mary Engelbreit fabric, a sweet little Scottie and lots of handmade ribbon roses...The three roses with the pearl centers, are my "Pretty Pins" that come with it.
A cute summer bag that can be found in my Etsy Shop AnniesShabbyAttic
So you, see, I have been busy.....
I am so glad you came by....I love reading all the comments!
Have a happy week!!!......Jil

lots of pink eye candy, love everything, awesome name for your blog. happy pink saturday.
Your things are just beautiful. I have an old wood burner cook stove that I bought from a lady from church (it was her mothers) It is cream clored and I have alot of my old piecse on it also. Which is very heavy like your pie safe. They don't make them like they use to. I have just started blogging and I am so glad I found yours. It is so pretty. Thanks for sharing.

One day of the week I can count on for self-indulgence, Beverly's Pink Saturday. My l♥ve for the color is fed over and over and over by the generosity of everyone who participates. This week is no exception.
Thank you for sharing such great eye-candy. It was an absolute pleasure to visit your blog. Hoping this weekend finds you surrounded by l♥ve and happiness.

The cabinet and the story is fabulous. When you finished putting everything on display it is gorgeous. It would make me smile too. In fact it just did. The small shelf is cute as can be and looks great in white. Your crafty items are all great. When do you fit it all in. Midnight? BIG smile.
Hugs...Jeanne
Lordy, you have been busy. That Mary E pincushion is absolutely adorable!

Wow.. I love your pie safe and it looks lovely with pretty dishes & laces..
have a great week
Wow, I'm so impressed! You've shared so many wonderful projects! Happy PINK Saturday! ♥ Diane
How I've enjoyed reading this post! I don't THINK I've visited you before (some weeks I work down from the top of the list, some weeks I work up from the bottom, so I get to everyone eventually). I have never made every single blog on the list yet, but I keep trying!
Anyhow, I totally love what you have been doing with the pie safe and the shelf, and look forward to seeing the completed cupboard soon.
Your eBay pieces are wonderful, and I am sure they sell in a flash!
Can I ask.. do you prefer eBay to Etsy? I am knee deep in albums & journals I've been making and really need to let them go - but deciding which platform to sell through is the holdup!
Happy Pink Saturday!
Happy PINK to you! The pie safe is what I need right now! LOL Hand it over...:0) and the four men to move it..hehehehe
I have two hoosier cabinets..one needs to be painted, the other one has paintings of my beloved chickens and a dairy goat that I used to own. You can see that one at my blog under the collectible category if you'd like to take a peek. My category list is at the bottom of my center column.
Funny how things seem to look alright til put that paint brush to them. :0)
Have a great week,
Stephanie
Your cabinet is beyond adorable. I love it! Also love all the cute dishes. I'm so happy I stumbled across your blog, it is divine. Bookmarking you now, and looking forward to future posts. :)
Great paintwork. I love your little pillows and those little booties are just adorable. Happy pink Saturday
OMG, I missed this last PiNk SaTuRdAy! I am speechless. I LOVE it all! Simply wonderful!
I watch countless reruns of Frasier and I can hear Niles saying this, Oh, Mama, I want it all!
