My Girly-Feminine Side for a "Pink Saturday"

It's Saturday, and we're in the pink :-)

I am joining Beverly’s Pink Saturday which she hosts at "How Sweet The Sound"

My contribution today is part of my little vanity or dressing table. Such a girly thing to have. One thing I do not like is having all the lotions and potions in the usual plasic containers they come in, if I can at all avoid it.

Throughout my home wherever a cream or other liquid are needed, even the washing up liquids in the kitchen I tend to refill them into more attractive containers.

Here in this picture of part of my dressing table you can see some of the glass bottles I collected for eye make up remover, toner, etc. I found the pretty larger bottles at a flea market in Athens, Greece. (click on pic if you want to see it enlarged).

The pink on the table is a large rose scented potpourri dish. I took this pic a little while ago and added recently a display of large pink feathers and draped some more beads on the mirror ... all deliciously decadent and feminine.

Wishing you a rosy pink Saturday with an opportunity to look for smiles in any situation,

Happy Pink Saturday, Angelika.

I do the same thing. I use pink grapefruit scented dish liquid in my kitchen, and I have it in a pretty bottle.

Your dressing table looks so pretty. It must give you a smile each morning.

I completely agree with you. Why have a plastic bottle sitting around when you can have something gorgeous instead?! Very pretty and lots of eye candy to enjoy, Happy Pink Saturday, Char
