The Enchanting Perfection of Pink!


This week I have more pink "box tops" from my vintage greeting card box collection to share with you. These beautiful boxes have some of my favorite vintage graphics but are becoming harder and harder to find. So, if you see some while on your thrifty flea market adventures, grab them while you can! They are such a lovely tribute to times past!

Thanks to Bev at How Sweet the Sound for offering Pink Saturdays to all who wish to participate. She's doing a great job of coordinating and sharing. You can see other Pink Saturday participants HERE! Thanks for stopping by!

But, before you go, please take a minute to visit my new CHARMING VINTAGE RECIPES blog where you will find FREE 50'S FAMILY RECIPES! Please stop by! I'd love to have you join me as a FOLLOWER!

  3. Hi Coralie,
    The pink box tops are gorgeous, the illustrations are just charming. ( BTW- So is your blog template design.) I'll be posting for Pink Sat. - vintage hankies! Hope you'll come by to see.
    Thanks for the book recommendation, I will look for it. Sounds interesting, and I can use some help right now...growing older and still deciding what I want to be!!!

    Have a great weekend.

  15. Happy pink Saturday. What a gorgeous group of pink greeting card boxes. Is Carrie a collie or sheltie? We had collies for years and several friends have shelties. Both are terrific.

    Thanks for stopping by my kitchen and following along. It will give me a chance to get to know you better. Your blog is beautiful. Have a wonderful weekend.

    I always appreciate that you take the time.

    A recipe blog too? Have you had that and i just missed it?

    Sorry, though, I do not cook much, or at least take any time with special recipes. I'm sure you will have a lot of followers though, with so many cooking artists out there.

  45. Coralie, thank you for stopping to see me for Pink Saturday. I am sorry I am late coming by to visit. It was our Annv. this weekend & my hubby surprised me & took me out of town. I had no idea...so now I am behind but, it was so much fun. I remember those wonderful vintage greeting cards. My Mom used to have boxes of them & I loved to sort through them. Look how much your Carrie looks like my Reba. Have a great day!
