The weekend is here once again and it's time to share in the fun of Beverly's "Pink Saturday" event. Thank you Beverly for being such a wonderful hostess and for all that you do to coordinate the event each weekend. When you are done visiting here today, head on over to Beverly's blog at http://www.howsweetthesound.typepad.com/ for a list of other Pink Saturday participants. Make sure you try and visit the blogs of as many as you can. Our numbers our growing every week so it's a time consuming process, but it is well worth your time to see what lovely Pink things everyone has to share.
A gathering together of some of my collection with a little blue, green and lavender mixed in for fun....
A creative way that I came upon to display some of my potholder collection on my counter top is by using a vintage metal coffee mug holder that I spray painted pink. The hooks on the coffee mug holder work great for holding the vintage potholders, most of which have a loop to hang them.
And some I keep displayed in a wicker basket on a small chest of drawers that I keep in my dining room to store some of my linens in.
After teasing you the past several weeks with just small glimpes of my dining room, I decided it was time to share a photo of the entire room. It is not a separate room but is an extension of my kitchen. This has to be one of my favorite rooms in my house. I love the soft butter yellow color of the wall and the white table and chairs, china hutch and shelf. Add in my collection of china and pretty vintage linens and it makes for a charming cottage dining room.
Well, that's it for today. I hope you enjoyed seeing more of my vintage linen collection and my dining room. Maybe you will leave here today with a an idea or two on how to display some of your collections.
Have a lovely weekend everyone. Until next time......

Love vintage pink linens. Your room is very cute & cottage-y. Neat idea with the coffee mug stand too.
Those hot pads are sweet; I'd certainly never use them but only display them. Thanks for sharing. I have a book giveaway. See my sidebar to enter. Happy Pink Saturday!

I just love the vintage potholders & hot pads. I can't imagine covering something that pretty with a hot dish. Thanks for sharing.

Those are such pretty pot holders. I only have one that is vintage and it is my favorite. It had been tea stained.

Your tablecloth is SO pretty, and it's very cool the way that pic lined up on the screen with the picture of your teapot in the sidebar ... they look like a perfect match!

Kim, your kitchen and your linens are totally charming. :o)
Good morning Kim, I so love your vintage 'heart.' The tablecloth and the pot holders are awesome. I love how you display those pot holders. How did you ever find so many in pink? My daughter-in-law collects them in red and white. She uses the flat ones on her country table for coasters. It really looks cute and useful too.
Your dining room is a wonderful cottage look and I love it. A very nice job decorating Kim.
I never get to all the pinkies on Sat. so I am late too.
Have a wonderful Sunday...Love...Jeanne
I love your pink post. Happy Pink Saturday! xoxo
Marina

I loved looking at your linens, I have quite a few myself...working toward "collecting" I guess! What a wonderful room. I'd like to come over, sit at your table for some tea and conversation in that pretty room!!
Happy Pink Saturday!

Oh I really enjoyed seeing a picture of your dinning room. So shabby sweet! I also love your collection of pink linens. Love the crocheted potholders! I have a few myself. I also love how you drapped the vintage tableclothes over the latter! I do that to sometimes. Or I use my quilts! pink hugs, Ellen p.s. thank you for stopping by and leaving your lovely comments!
