How handy it was this week when the mall where we have our space opened their newest showroom right next to our booth and it’s Pink Pink Pink!
Across from our booth is the 60’s room: Doesn’t it scream “Mad Men”? or does anyone watch that show?
And next to that the 1970’s display. Groovy, huh? All you 30 somethings and 40ish kids should remember some of this stuff. Looks like it’s right out of an old decorating book!
My growing up memories are more from the late 50’s and early 60’s, however, and all this pink and grey and black makes me feel right at home. Does anyone remember these little jukebox selection boxes right at your diner booth?
Love this pottery….
And the lucky few who had a pink telephone. (Not us because you had to pay extra for anything other than a black phone!)
Poodle skirts and neon clocks!
And a black ceramic panther usually on the television console.
I think the King would be right at home in these rooms.
He’d probably really approve of Pink Saturday, don’t you think?
Still need more Pink? Visit our host… Beverly at How Sweet The Sound where there are lot’s of other pink places to visit.
Now here’s my recommendation for the Pink Saturday Blog Discovery -
Lynn’s blog – It’s a July Thing – is a riot to visit. I think I will stalk Lynn from now on because she doesn’t do anything half fast!!!! Read her blog…you’ll see why. LOL

Nancy, What a great blog, of course I remember all the things from the 50's, it was a great period in our history.
ReplyDeleteHappy Labor Day weekend.

Happy Pink Saturday!
ReplyDeleteLove this retro pink post!
Nancy,
ReplyDeleteThe pink phone was amazing. I feel deprived. Our family also had the black version and I had no idea it came in pink. Somehow I don't think my former Marine father would have gone for it though.
Peeked around in your blog and I loved the altered book you were making. Great quotes and visually a feast for the eyes!
Blessings,
Sue
I like looking at the 50's and 70's room. The orange room is a lot of fun. And I like the little jukebox. Very cute! :-)
ReplyDeleteHappy Pink Saturday!

You're right! The King would approve of Pink Saturday - and my mother loved The King!!!
ReplyDeleteI do remember all of the looks in the rooms you featured. And, I admit that my parents once had a pink phone installed for me. But, it clashed with my "decor", and it was replaced by a white phone. I couldn't possibly have had a phone that didn't match. ;-)
Love that pink phone.
ReplyDeleteHappy Pink Saturday!!!
What a fabulous space! I love all the pink and black. I do remember those in-the-booth jukeboxes! I always loved them. Happy Pink Saturday!
ReplyDeleteIt's a good sign, lovely pics, Happy Pink Saturday, Char
ReplyDeleteI love that pink and black room! I'm more the groovy generation but I do love retro pink!
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful weekend Nancy!
Wherever do you think they found such color coordinated treasures? They must have a vast storeroom where the "off-color" merchandise is stored until they have enough to do a color theme...fabulous looks...great job on the post...I'm off to visit your recommendations...enjoy the week...LaVerne
ReplyDeleteHeeeeyyyy!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the "Nod!"
Perhaps you may notice that I am #17 on your stalker list!
Nice to meet you :)
I have got to come visit you! The 60's and 70's rooms are priceless! I had a friend whose house looked alot like the 70's room and we just thought her mom was the greatest! (now maybe not so much lol) And that pink pottery is to die for! Hope you're having a great week. Kathy
ReplyDeleteJust now getting around to all the blogs to see the lovely Pink.Great pitures of the past.
