A "New" Vintage Treasure ~ Enamelware Pie Carrier

Have you ever walked into an antique store and a piece "spoke to you"? Something you don't usually collect or even consider buying? That's what happened to me last week at the Salamanca Antique Mall. I usually look for vintage tablecloths, powder compacts, silver, jewelry....but I walked by this vintage pie carrier sitting on an old table in a booth and did a double take.


The shape, the shade of blue, and the GORGEOUS bachelor button flowers....WOW! I had never seen another one like it. I walked past it...but only for a minute or two. I turned around and grabbed it!


I've tried to research it, but no luck. I do believe it's European. It will hold a nice large pie or a small cake.



It's vented in the back.



Has a place for a lock. If I can find I pretty old one, I may just have to use it to keep my son from eating an entire apple pie by himself!

Thinking Spring

Since the holidays are done and gone, spring has been on my mind. I'm looking forward to warm weather, green grass, and crisp breezes that bring in newly bloomed flower scents.

Here are a few items I've listed at The Pink Rose Cottage that remind me of spring:

~These gorgeous Lily of the Valley pieces are listed separately. Beautiful English china. They would look great mixed with green depression glass or violet china pieces. So very spring!~

~This antique plate boast stunning soft pink roses.~

I'm really getting ahead of myself on this one....
~Silver plated ice tea spoons. Perfect to use on that first day when you feel the warm sunshine on your face.~

~Hand painted pink rose milk glass plate. So cottage chic!~


Find these ~SPRING-Y~ items and more at The Pink Rose Cottage!

Stay warm my friends...And think SPRING!

What do you do....

if it's ~oh so cold~ and very dark and dreay....
When all you want to do is sit in the sun...

...and enjoy your backyard?


Well...If you are a Redbone Coonhound, you nap in front of the fire and dream of spring flowers, warmer days, and chasing kitties!

Happy New Year!
