Pink Saturday at Essex Street Antiques

It's Pink Saturday again. Today's post features some items I purchased yesterday at Essex Street Antiques. Where is it located? That's right Essex Street in Melrose, Massachusetts. This mantel was so springy I just had to take a photo. Don't worry there's a hint of pink there.


Don't you love this egg tree? Faux chocolate eggs, totally non-caloric.
I wanted this plate and egg to go home with me but I went in with a budget and I stuck to it.



Here's my new pink teacup. I put it on top of the tea chest I have in my dining room. It's calling out for some Harrod's No 42 Earl Grey.



Here's a view of the saucer. Isn't it perfect for an Easter tea or brunch?



I couldn't resist snapping a photo of the pink cup in the sunlight. It is almost illuminated. My new pink dish from France is also on the table. The tea chest covering is just a piece of lace I picked up a while ago.






A better view of the candy dish. It might become a potpourri dish or a guest soap dish at some point. I'm not sure yet. My pink items cost me $20 which was my limit for the day's shopping. But... while at the store they told me about a flea market in Melrose. You know I'll have to check that out!

Wow, love everything! I absolutely love your header. Thanks for pointing the song on your song list. I can relate. Going back and forth is hard and that's what happened with us. I just can''t let myself get sucked back in. Time to move on for good! Now, where's that vet with a farmhouse and a wrap around porch and farm animals for me to care for? LOL! Kidding.

You're working the bargains Elaine! Love the whole post! Don't you wish that were your mantel? I know I sure do! SPRING is on the way big time!

Love the pattern on the saucer and cup, but I'm a bird person : )

Happy Saturday!

Wow, I love that Pink dish...anyone who knows me knows how I love things from France...it seems as though they speak to me..."take me home with you" or "you won't be sorry" or "I'm well worth the cost".

Happy Pink Saturday.

They are all so pretty! My fave is the 'chocolate" eggs :-) I wish they were real. :-)
That's just so pretty! I would love to have every single thing on that mantel!! Did you see the Martha issue with the decoupage eggs - I might have to do one like in that photo! Thanks for sharing, (I saw you on the Bellapink blog) and Happy Spring.
