Pretty Pinks and Greens for the Homemaking Party

Lefton and Limoges---two of my favorite things!
 Every now and then, I like to do a "Pinks and Greens" post.  This is my favorite color combination and I feature it in many parts of my life.  Remember the post I did when I was waiting for Kynthia to arrive?  
This past weekend I was out hopping from one yard sale to another and ended up finding some really fun things for my Etsy shop.  A few of them are already listed if you'd like to stop by and visit.  The highlight of the day was this delicate Haviland tea cup and saucer I found at a church fundraiser!

 It's my second piece of antique Limoges---which is very hard to come by around here!  I think collecting pink and green Limoges will be a lifelong quest for me!
Here it is with my other Limoges piece.

 Yesterday, I stopped by Salvation Army for a minute to see if they had anything neat for my shop.  When I saw a little pink tea pot, I snatched it right up.  It was heavy and the bottom was very worn---two good signs that it's a sturdy antique.
Turns out, it's a piece of Weller Pottery from the early 1920s.  Check out eBay for more on Weller Pottery, but I think it's safe to say I snagged something worth a little more than the $4.00 I spent on it!

 I really considered putting it in my Etsy shop---I even took photos of it tonight.  But, as I was editing them, I realized how much I already love this little pot---so it's staying right here with me!

 I'm so glad you've stopped by the Homemaking Party!  I hope you'll link up some of your favorite posts and visit others' to encourage them as well.

 I love to feature some of the neat posts that are linked up so please make sure and put my button or a text link on your blog so you'll be eligible to be featured!

Here are a few of my favorites from last week's party:
Alison at Mumtopia shares this great story of what they found while doing some work on their home.  She has such an awesome way with words---love her blog!
Nicole at Children are a Blessing shared a subject near and dear to my heart:  Are Children a Blessing or a Burden?  Have you seen my sidebar family picture?  I think you know my answer!
This chair from Maureen at It's All Connected is just so amazingly awesome!!  In fact, let me ramble for a bit.  I was just thinking earlier how irritating it is now that everyone is saying "amazing" for everything.  Ok---it's like last year when everyone was saying "epic".  That's irritating.  Not everything is epic.  Or amazing.  Except for this chair.  This chair is amazing.  My Mom has one of these sewing chairs with the lifty-uppy lid.  I'll just let that sit and steep for a minute.

 Thanks to everyone for the great posts!

    Great links! Love the pinks and greens and that baby is sooooo precious! I always wanted to have eight children, ever since I was a young girl.

    However God gave us just two, but I am thankful for them! I certainly waited long enough to be able to conceive them! ;)

    Thanks for hosting today, my friend.

    Good Morning Sarah, Pink and green are such lovely colour combinations. The Limoge piece is beautiful and I adore the Haviland teacup and saucer.
    I love scouring thrift shops and charity shops, as I am always amazed at what people donate because they no longer want the item..... but lucky us, as we are the beneficiaries of all these lovely unwanted items.
    Sarah, I have enjoyed my visit and I have become a new follower. I found you through Kathrines Corner.
    I would like to invite you to visit me at Ivy, Phyllis and Me! when you have the time to spare as it would be lovely to see your there.
    Best Wishes to you from England.
    Daphne

    Your limoges is gorgeous! Is that a buzz word too? lol! We do go through our favorite words here in Bloglandia. Pink and green are my favorite combination colors too. Your china here is really lovely. What a fine collection to work on.
    Your little pink tea pot is a bargain! It is really cute. I would have to keep it too : )
