Pink Saturday...and it's Pinkalicious!!!
Hello my friends and welcome to Pink Saturday! This pinkalicious Saturday is hosted by Beverly over at How Sweet the Sound! You'll just have to pay Beverly a visit to see what she has going on today...and while you're there, you can visit all of the other pinkalicious participants!!! Thank you Beverly for being such a lovely hostess and providing a means for us to share all of our pink!!!
Well my friends, today I have a very special pinkalicious treasure to share with you! As many of you know, Russell's father passed away the end of December and we have been busy with his estate. We have already spent many hours going through Dad's home...trying to decide what we need to sell...and what we need to keep! I have to admit that this has been very difficult for me, as I go through things I just want to keep it all! There are just so many treasures...keepsakes! Our home is being filled with many, many memorible keepsakes but it's my desire to take care of them and be able to pass these treasures down to our children!
As you can see, there are three canisters. They range from 3 1/2 in. to 8 in. in height. The outer glass is clear, however the inside of the canisters are pink (which show through...giving the glass its pink appearance). There are no labels or markings on these pretty canisters so I'm not sure who manufactured them or even if this type of glass has a name. If anyone knows anything about these...please let me know!
The Unique Pattern...
What makes these glass canisters so unique is the beautiful diamond shaped pattern! If you click on the photos to enlarge them, you can get a better look at just how intricate it is! Small raised dots form the lines of the diamond and a larger raised dot can be found at each intersecting corner! I've never seen this type of crafting on any glass piece before and it's absolutely gorgeous!!!
Ohhhh yes...and isn't this just the sweetest and softest shade of pink that you've ever seen?
The handles are just as beautiful! They remind me of a sparkley diamond!!! They are square in shape and have the same raised dots in the shape of a diamond pattern!
Where will these little pinkalicious treasures find a home?
Many of you know that most of my home's decor is done in shades of red, olive green, and gold. Not the most conducive color scheme for pink! I do however, have one room in my house that has alot of pink...my Tea Rose bedroom! I think that these beautiful pink glass canisters will be very pretty in there. Should we take a look and see?
Ohhh yes...I think I like them in this room!!! I decided to place them on the old desk that I refinished last summer. Hmmm...the desk top may be just a little overcrowded...Nah! Can you ever have too many pretty things? Don't think so!!!
For more photos and information on my Tea Rose bedroom just click HERE.
The pinkalicious glass canisters seem to fit right in, don't you think?
My little teacup lamp was a gift from one of my dearest friends...Gloria (Happy To Be)! Ohhhh...how I love my little teacup lamp! And...there are pretty little bunnies here too! The little bunny trinket box was a gift from my honey...he surprised me with this sweet gift! He's such a wonderful husband...so thoughtful and kind!!! The larger bunny was a thrift store treasure find for just $3! Both of these bunnies must have been made by the same manufacturer...they have the exact same colors and sweet little pink roses on them. The third bunny (on the far left) was a gift from another dear friend many years ago!
For those of you who may be interested...I refinished this old desk last summer. It began as a plain natural toned wood desk. I added some shabby chic embellishments to the drawer fronts, glass knobs, and painted it a creamy off-white. I just love how it turned out! You can see the details if you enlarge the photo. I found the chair at an Antique Market...as is! It has the prettiest carved embellishments at the top of the chair and an old faded olive green & white toile seat...$20 (if I remember correctly)!
My "artsy" photo! Hehe!!!
Well my friends...I hope that you enjoyed my pretty little pink canisters and Tea Rose bedroom! I just love when you come by for a visit...please leave me a comment and let me know that you stopped by! I love hearing from you and I enjoy returning your visit!!!
Hope that you're having a "pinkalicious" Pink Saturday!!!
Love ya'll,
Chari
PS....Don't forget to stop by Beverly's and the other Pink Saturday participants!

chari, so glad you decided to rerun this post, I missed it the first time. What absolutely gorgeous canisters. I don't think I have ever seen any thing like them. Wonder if it is a type of glass or a specific pattern. Whatever it is, it is just stunning. Looks perfect on the desk. Hugs, Marty
I remember this post!!! They were gorgeous the first time around and still are!
Oh wow! Those are very lovely! I like your pics!
Happy Pink Saturday!
Hugs, Lisa
Oh Girl I am so glad you shown these again...I just love to to death!! these looks so pretty there like they are meant for this room...Now I am up and running my dear friend...am joining the fun today..May you have a wonderful Sunday my friend...Hugs and smiles Gl♥ria
Uhm, I'm sending you my address so you can send me everything in your bedroom. I'll be cleaning out a room just for all of the goodies!
When do they arrive? Those are just too good to be true. Have a great Pink Saturday. What a great one year anniversary!
Oh so pretty Chari!
They are truly a "Sunday Favorite".
~Have a blessed day my friend.

Those are beautiful!!! I love how the little pull on the top looks a bit like an ice cube...

Hi Chari,
Ah yes, I do love this post! Those are really outstanding pink canisters, what a treasure my dear. They look just perfect in your Tea Rose bedroom. They sparkle and seem to have a life of their own. I also sure love that little lamp sweet Gloria made you! What a treasure and how perfect in that room. Your photography is outstanding too. Hugs, Cindy
never see canisters like yours in diamond shape and unique toppers too.. so beautiful! happy pink saturday!
Chari, thanks for coming by. You asked about the yellow dishes, and no I did not go get them. I have thought about it, but I am like you, where in the world am I going to put them. I may get just the salad plates and then I can mix them with other things. I just can't keep buying anymore sets of dishes. I did clean and rearrange the kitchen cupboards just to be able to put all the dishes I have now. lol There are just too many pretty dishes out there and I always think I have to have them all. Hope your weekend is great. Hugs, Marty
I hadn't seen this post the first time around, and I'm so glad you posted it. Those canisters are so unique and beautiful! I've never seen anything like them. They fit in so well with your room.
I remember this post and I still love those canisters!
That is a lovely set of canisters! Here I am at my first Sunday Favorite - because of that I chose a post that was about me.

What unusual and pretty pink glass canisters. I don't have much pink in my home but I like the romantic and soothing look of the corner of your tearose bedroom.
Thank you for hosting Sunday Favorites and have a wonderful day,

What a beautiful and elegant site! I love your designs!

No wonder they're your favorite, just looking at those pink canisters and I understand :-) The diamond cut handle is a lovely added touch. What a gem. If it holds your treasures, well, the container itself is a treasure in itself :-)

Those cannisters are just gorgeous. Once again, thanks for hosting Sunday Favorites.
Chari... I can see why this would be a favorite post for you... it is for me too! Those canisters are just delightful! Did you ever find out anything about them? I've seen a lot of vintage glass in my time... but never anything like your pretty pink canisters... they really are beautiful! In fact, you've inspired me with your whole little pink room... I'm going to do a little redecorating of mine!
Chari... I love Sunday Favorites! It is now offcially my favorite meme! God Bless your sweet heart for hosting it.. hugs. Dixie
I can see why this is a favorite. Such a pretty shade of pink and incredible detail on those gorgeous canisters. Everything on your table is so pretty. I bet it makes you smile to sit there.
Hi Chari, oh, they are so beautiful....an absolute treat to behold.
Chari, when I republish my post...the original comments are moved over also. How do I prevent this? Need your help....thank you.

Chari, these canisters are just about the prettiest things I've ever seen. The canisters are gorgeous, and the glass knobs on top are so pretty. They are just so unique, and I'm so glad they've found such a wonderful home in the Pink Rose Bedroom. laurie
The pink canisters are lovely but I have no idea what the glass would be named? Russell's Mom had some nice things to pass on. Thanks for sharing as I enjoyed this post.

What beautiful treasures. Your pink canisters seem too pretty to be called canisters. Thanks for hosting Sunday Favorites!
I missed this first time round but am SO glad you reposted it -- those glass canisters are goregous; I've never seen any like them!
So different, and done with such beautiful workmanship; I especially love the square knobs. Fantastic!
Thanks -- one can never have too much pink! (I have a gorgeous tea cup lamp from Gloria, too! It's in our "pink bedroom" which right now is too full of my daughter's STUFF to photograph ... but soon!

OMG Chari! You are making me drool again. You know how much I love those pink glass canisters. They are so unique and I'll probably never find them even if I search the whole world. So, why do you make me suffer by showing them to me again? LOL...j/k, I love to see them and they look lovely in your home...Christine
Oh my! What a lovely treasure to keep. They're beautiful! ☺♥☺ Diane
Chari,
I am loving all of these posts!!! I get to catch up with everyone and what they were doing before I arrived in blogland!!!
These little pink canisters are a dream!!! They are such a perfect shade of pink and are absolutely adorable!!!
I love that you placed them on that sweet desk...what a wonderful little vignette!!!
Thanks for sharing!!!
Have a wonderful Sunday!!!
XOXO

Hello Chari, your pink cannisters are so gorgeous, the colour, the pattern and the diamond handles and they look perfect where you have them what a treasure, happy Sunday, Kathy.
The canisters are truly beautiful. The design is unusual and makes a lovely feminine decor accessory.
How feminine. I can imagine a lovely lady getting ready for an evening out while her little girl watches her dab on some powder. You have them in the right spot for sure.
Chari, what a great re-post! I know my grandmother would have chosen those for her bedroom :-) She was definitely into the pinks, they are stunning! You certainly have the eye for design.
oh my goodness, those look fantastic, happy pink saturday, Char
LOVE these pink canisters! I've never seen anything like them! Just BEAUTIFUL! Happy Pink Saturday, and hope you're having a wonderful week!
