SuperSuSluething at The CIA for PinkSaturday!!!

It's been a 'CheapPink Week'!  Not that this GRIT thinks Pink things are Cheap! 

Ah Contrary...just look at this PinkThing that came outta what ya might call cheap dirt, but was definately not 'DirtCheap'

HONG KONG (Reuters Life!) - A rare, 5-carat pink diamond was auctioned off for a record $10.8 million in Hong Kong, putting some shine back into the world's rare and large stones market which was badly hit by the financial crisis.

"Badly hit by the financial crisis"...Ha!...they should be shopping in Texas markets with this GRIT's coin purse for PennyPinchinPinks!


Yep, I definately hit PinkPayDirt this week at the Biggest Thrift Store in Texas.  Right here in SanAngelo.  It's called Christians In Action or as Mr.CITexas calls it The CIA.  Now, just cause this is CheapPink Stuff, don't think I didn't have to do some SuperSuSleuthing and Inspector Gadgeting for these Pink Treasures.




Yep, you can call me SuLock Holmes after the digging I did  for the Rosey Kitchen Poem Plate, The Pink Rose Saucer and the Hanky.  However, I'm Inspector Clueless about this Pink TriPod Warmer Thingy.  It is marked MiraMar with a copyright mark and 1955 on the bottom.  So all Ya'll RetroIsta's....What the HeckIsIt?

PS...Don't Ya'll just Love Pink Saturday Treasures?
Look what Ann at Tin and Sparkle found at an Estate Sale. Stop by and see her Treasures and tell her CollectInTexas Gal sent you.

And be sure to say Howdy to Beverly at How Sweet the Sound!  She's got TheList.....so have FUN visiting on this Pink Saturday, March, 6, 2010.

  1. Hi there! The little pink thingy is a butter melter/warmer - like if you wanted to pour warm butter over corn on the cob or dip a bite of lobster, etc. in the melted butter. So, me thinks maybe you bought it just because it was Pink??!! I understand.

    I'm really partial to the hanky and pink rose plate - pretty...

  9. All of your pinks today are outstanding, sugar, and yessssss, that new pink apron is adorable. Isn't it fun to make them? I love doing it and just hang them around the kitchen for "eye candy" until they sell.

  12. Hankies! Ah...those were the days! We use to buy my daddy white hankies for the holidays as children. I also had some pretty ones with hand crocheted trim from years gone by and they did too! :(

    You always make me smile! I need to go see your etsy shop. Best wishes to you there!

  17. Happy Pink Saturday SueLock Holmes...
    I adore this post as always. So darn stickin cute you are. Now I love that PINK DIAMOND, but the plate has my heart. I have seen the little kitchen one hanging in great aunts home many, many years ago. I loved it then, still do seeing yours. How precious Sue, just precious.

    The little butter warmer is a treasure. I would think you would use that many times over. I have never had one, but with all sorts of foods it would be delicious for sure.

    Have a beautiful Sunday sweetie. Country hugs and much love...Sherry

  27. Oh my gosh!!!! I was just looking through some of your posts. We really do have a lot in common, the picture on the horse is uncanny. I also was born in a nursing home in Norwood Mo in 1947. My birthday is Nov 7 but what a coincidence just the same.
    So happy to be swaping with ya.
