I know you have been on pins and needles ALLLLLLLL week long waiting the reveal of the winner of the "Pink Saturday Starter Kit Giveaway" I posted about last Saturday!
I took the bag with me to meet my friends for breakfast on Monday. Just looking at the "Bad Hair Day" I was having that day, I sould have put the bag OVER my head! Instead, the entries for the giveaway were inside it!
First, Laura stirred the names around!
Then, Beth gave the names a hefty mix!
Mary could hardly wait to have a hand in the stirring fun!
Mary Ann waited patiently for her turn to mix up the names!
Oh, we had a special visitor join us for breakfast that day!!! Jill, Mary's daughter, got in on the Pink Saturday fun as well---she's a great name mixer!
She did such a terrific job mixing up the names, I thought she should do the honors and pick out the "grand prize winner"!!!
So she dipped her dainty hand back into the bag and pulled out the winning entry!
Would you look at that! The grand prize winner is CURTISS ANN of "Pressing On"!!!!
Curtiss Ann wins the official Pink Saturday Starter Kit which includes: a roll of Pink ribbon, a Pink flamingo card, nearly new Pink sponge rollers, a Pink plastic cup and a pair of Pink Imitation Crocs (if I can find some in her size---otherwise, she gets $6.00!!). note: I am sorry for the horrible Pink in this photo---I was taking the picture at night and it really turned out a disgusting pink instead of the lovely pink they are in the daylight!
Well, I was having so much fun with the GRAND giveaway, I decided to let three more LUCKY folks win a little something special, too! So, Jill drew out the following names for me.
First, was BUFF of Thru Pink Curtains! (Sorry the photo is so blurry---I was shaking with excitement at this point!). Buff, can you see your name? Yes, it's YOU!!!
I was still shaking when Jill pulled out DOT aka PICKET of Picket's Place! Lordy, I'll bet Dot is just yelling and screaming right this verrrry minute!
And finally-----the last winner to be selected is LYNN of The Vintage Nest!!! Woo-Hoo! I know this has made your day!
You lucky three can select from the following four photos of THE STONE RABBIT at his best. This is a coveted gift and one I am certain you will cherish always! Just let me know which one you would like a copy of for your very own---Curtiss Ann, you can select one, too!
This photo shows THE STONE RABBIT wearing the Pink bow from my first Pink Saturday post---it was a tad shredded by the time our three furry critters had worn it long enough to have their photos taken! However, we all know how dignified THE STONE RABBIT is---he held his little stiff head up high and wore that tattered bow in style!!
Here is a picture of THE STONE RABBIT on the day the Pink Flamingo came to live with us. Also included in the picture are (L to R) Flopsy, Curly, and Concrete Bird!
They are such close friends! What an inspiration they would be to anyone---a group of concrete yard ornaments who dared to embrace a Pink Plastic Flamingo!!!
This photo is of THE STONE RABBIT trying to get his fur to curl---just like his buddy's! While in vain, Curly was secretly tickled that THE STONE RABBIT wanted to look like him!!!
THE STONE RABBIT is showing off his Pink Mamma Mia shirt in this picture! He has listened to the sound track several times and he just shakes the house hopping to the tunes of ABBA!!! I just love it when he dances!
OK, Buff, Dot and Lynn----after many hours of driving all over Kansas City, I was able to locate a Pink Slapper hand for each of you!!! I know you will have hours of fun with it! THE STONE RABBIT really enjoyed his time spent with those little Pink Slappers----see how happy he looks in this photo? (Heck, you can even choose from this picture, too, if you want!).
I just need each of you winners to e-mail me with your address! Curtiss Ann----I need your tootsie size for the Imitation Pink Crocs!
There are lots more Pink Saturday Bloggers just waiting for you to visit them. You can do that by going over to Beverly's blog, HOW SWEET THE SOUND, and checking out the looooong list of Pink places to visit!
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Heidi, at Foxgloves, Fabric and Folly, has organized an Autumn Table-setting and Recipe Exchange! Please click on her blog name to find the complete list of participants! This should be so much fun to see all of the creative tables and yummy recipes!
When I was a little girl, I recall my mom using this pattern of dishes. Years later, I started seeing them in garage sales and antique shops and they just spoke to me! They reminded me of many a meal at my family's dinner table---usually with my sister or brother and I fighting or tattling! Ah, the fond memories these dishes stir up!
The name Golden Harvest is on the backs of the plates. I tried to find out their history---who made them--- but haven't had any luck so far. If any of you know about them, I would love it if you could share that information!
I'm pretty certain mom got them for "free"---either as a giveaway at the grocery store or in laundry detergent boxes. Do any of you recall getting dish towels out of detergent boxes? That was a big day at our house when we were able to "pull out" the newest towel!!
As with most things from the past, I didn't appreciate their simple beauty until I was older.
One day, my mom and niece came over for lunch and I surprised her (mom)by using the Wheat Dishes I had been collecting. She was tickled about my table-setting that day.
I was so happy to participate in Heidi's share, because it motivated me to find some table linens that actually GO with the dishes! After looking at fabric shops, department stores, etc., I finally found Fieldcrest napkins on the clearance aisle at Target. They were a good color and a bargain price! I snatched up every package they had!
Sorry the photos are so dark---it WAS dark by the time I got my table arranged!
I used one napkin for each place mat by cutting off a bit from two sides and hemming them (note: they are not actually hemmed--I cheated and pressed them under for the table-setting photo, but I will get them hemmed!!). I was able to get two place mats and two napkins for $3.79----the original price was nearly $13.00!
The silver plate belonged to my mother-in-law, Lil. It was a possession she cherished----and so do I!
I see I left the salad plate off the place setting on the right---whoops! Bet Martha NEVER does that! Bet Martha doesn't own Wheat Dishes either! Well, maybe she does! Did I ever tell you I MET her? Yep, at a booksigning here in Kansas City several years ago! I couldn't find anyone who wanted to go with me to the bookstore to meet her (not many folks had even heard of her then), so I went alone. I walked in, bought a book and stood in line. She was wonderful----she strolled in decked out in a lovely suit (I think it was one of her favorite blue/green colors) and promptly took her seat and started signing books. She seemed genuinely interested in each of us as she chatted away and autographed our treasures! The amber glasses were purchased yesterday at a thrift shop for $1.00 each. (Yes, I know I paid too much for them!) I will be on the look out for some taller ones, too! In the "olden days", amber and green glasses were "way cool"---then after awhile, they went out of favor and found themselves in garage sales or sent to thrift stores. I see more and more of them resurfacing in antique booths---at steeper prices, of course. There are still lots of them to be found in thrift shops and flea markets and garage sales! That's where I will be buying mine! I found this black candelabra a few years ago at a garage sale. I don't recall the price, but I'm pretty certain it was cheap, because I AM!!! Prior to this Fall table-setting, I had only used it was Halloween decorating---it really works well with this theme, too! The garland is a bit "overkill", but it is what I had and I was running out of time! My mom had a signature dessert---and that is the recipe I am sharing today! Everyone loves this yummy treat and so does the cook, because it is so simple! PINEAPPLE SHEET CAKE CAKE: 2 C Flour 2 C Sugar 2 Eggs 2 tsp. Baking soda ½ tsp. Salt 1 tsp. Vanilla 1 20 oz. Can Crushed Pineapple—undrained 1 Cup Chopped Nuts (I use pecans, mom used Eng. Walnuts) In a large bowl, combine all ingredients and mix until smooth. Pour into a greased baking pan—15”X 10”X 1” (that’s what I use) or 15” X 9” (that’s what my mom used) Bake at 350 for 35 minutes. Cool. ICING: 1 8 oz. Pkg. Cream cheese (softened) 2 C Powdered Sugar ½ C Oleo (softened) ½ C nuts Mix all ingredients together (except the nuts!) until smooth. Spread over the cooled cake and sprinkle with nuts! Well, I know you must be SICK of my post today---it was long, but I just had so much to share with you! THE STONE RABBIT wanted to be a part of the table-setting, too, so here he is posing in his new fall scarf! He thought he would show you he could be thrifty, too! He grabbed one of the scraps cut from a napkin to make a placement and wrapped it around his neck! Clever bunny!

Happy Pink Saturday and Autumn Recipes and Tablescapes, Dana. Whew! That was a mouth full!!!
Congratulations to the winners of the Pink Saturday prizes. I know everyone is going to be pink with envy.
Is The Stone Rabbit autographing his pictures?
Your tablescape looks fantastic. One of my grandmothers had those same dishes.
I could really use a piece of delicious cake to go with my cup of coffee.

Your Stone Rabbit is so clever and the one with the rollers cracked me up.

Your dishes are fabulous..I remember them from long ago, too.
I love your beautiful tablesetting....enjoyed every thing!

Well kiss my southern grits...I won! I covet the photo of the stone rabbit with the pink curlers.
Dana, somewhere in the back of my mind I can see wheat themed plates somewhere in my Mom's house. Nest time I visit I will check it out. Love your black candelabra and won't be able to get it out of my mind until I can find one for myself. Happy Pink Saturday. ~ Lynn

Happy Pink Saturday!! I remember those dishes!! I think they were in Duz (have no idea if that's right) Detergent and I was collecting them in a cedar chest for me. My mom just didn't go through enough detergent to ever get a set. I have no idea what ever happened to the few I had. I hadn't thought of them in ages, so thanks for the memory.
Posted by: Viv (VivLyn) | September 27, 2008 at 06:44 AM
Congratulations to the winners.
Just think, now there will never be a "Pink Saturday" without pink thanks to you Dana!
I love the dishes and your tablescape looks warm and inviting.

Dana, what fun choosing the Pink Saturday winners. Your friends are so sweet to always play along with your wacky ideas. The truth is your ideas are so original and the most fun of any blogger I have read. Congrats to the winners. I am sure they will all be pleased. Especially Picket (Dot). She will be screaming like a sissy. (her words) smile.
Your tablescapes are so festive and lovely too. Lets face the truth, you are an original girl!
Love and hugs...Jeanne

Good morning Dana!! congratulations to the winners of the Pink Saturday starter kit. where'd you find those hand slappers?
I love your autumn tablescape. Those sheaf of wheat plates look very familiar - I think I must have once had a similar plate but I can't remember when or where.
The recipe looks delicious! It's so nice to think of drifting into autumn.
Of course in Southern California, we're still sunny and hot!
Posted by: g | September 27, 2008 at 09:37 AM
Dana, as always the most entertaining pink post of the day. Congratulations to all the winners and I think that the Stone Rabbit's hair turned out lovely. OMG your table setting for Autumn is gorgeous. That recipe looks really good too. I hope you have a wonderful pink Saturday and Sunday and Monday...until next time.

Have I told you lately that I love you! You just make me laugh. The stone rabbit in the pink rollers made me ROLL! Too funny. And when the picture of the wheat plates popped up I whispered in a reverent tone ..."oh my gosh" My mom used those plates while I was growing up!! I haven't seen them in years but boy did it make my heart go all mooshie! Thanks for the Saturday boost with this wonderful post!

Whooooo-hooo! I'm as happy as a dog with two tails to win the pink Saturday bag. How exciting, and I have to say by the time I read down to the Stone Rabbit with the pink curlers on him, I was laughing out loud!
The dishes-- oh, yes, I remember them! I think, no one quote me, but they came in Duz detergent. They are collectors items now! Your setting is lovely. I may learn to make something if I keep watching you!
Hugs,
CurtissAnn
Posted by: CurtissAnn | September 27, 2008 at 12:16 PM
PS: Honey, not to offend you or anyone, but do not buy me Crocs. They would be wasted on me. I have a pair of pink Crocs my dh bought me, and my feet are too bony skinny and just sort of flop around and rub in the Crocs. Please share the pink with one who'll do them proud!
Posted by: CurtissAnn | September 27, 2008 at 12:20 PM
Hey Dana, I don't see an email anywhere for you so I can send my address. Can you email me? I remembered where I saw the wheat china now. It's on my childhood china tea set that hangs in the guest room....not at my Mom's at home. How funny!

Your blog is fun. I always include it in my daily readings.
Just have to ask, are your candles the battery operated ones? If so, where did you find them? Love your table setting.
Not sure, but I think my husband went to school with you.
Keep up the wonderful blog you have.

Wow! That was a longggg post. Since I'm recuping from surgery I had to take two stabs at it. Dang, I should have entered that drawing, I really need those pink curlers right now. Am having a bad hair day! Table setting looks great, do you hire out?
Maybe for a friend? Ha Ha

I have been reading your blog for a few weeks now and had to break my silence and tell you how much I enjoy it. I can't remember whose blog led me to yours, but I am glad I wandered over. My mind sometimes wander too, but that is another story. ;)
One of my sons just bought a house that came with an upright bunny on the front porch. The bunny's ears are broken off which has led to him being called DB for Deaf Bunny. What would YOU call a deaf bunny? Nothing....he wouldn't hear you call him anyway (groan). I think of your blog every time I see the bunny and find myself thinking pink on Saturdays now too.
Thanks for the fun reading.

Good Morning Dana, You have outdone yourself my friend!!! :)...What a wonderfully charming tabe!...First of all, my mother also had very similar "wheat dishes" that she got "free" from a gas station giveaway or something??...Her's were pure white though with silver wheat & rims! So beautiful! I always just LOVED them!!...However, my mother who I love dearly is a bit of a "snob" & always thought they were a bit beneath her!! :)....Your linens, glasses (a dollar?), centerpiece?...Just the prettiest table & atmosphere!!! And your recipe I am trying this week! Oh that looks good!...A sincere thank you for following through in joining me in this exchange of mine. I do appreciate it!...Enjoy your week!...LOve, heidi

Hi Dana, Gorgeous tablesetting! I love the wheat china, and how neat that they are an heirloom for you! They made a beautiful fall setting! Your centerpiece is amazing too! And the stone rabbit looks quite debonair (probably spelled wrong! LOL!) ...so I better just say he looks pretty handsome in his yellow tie!
Congrats to all your winners! I can hear Dot squealing like a sissy girl from here! LOL! ~Rhonda :)
Posted by: Rhonda | September 28, 2008 at 02:53 PM
Dana,
I love your table setting too! Your candlelabra is so pretty with the candles and ribbon. I questioned my sanity when I was up Friday night ironing my tablecloth at 10:30 - 11:00 p.m. Your weekend sounded busier than mine. I will be back to visit your site soon. I love it.

Ok, I'm over it! Congrats to the ladies who won! I guess I'll just have to run over to Walmart and see if I can buy a pair of those lovely *pink* imitation crocs for myself! tee hee!
I LOVE your tablescape. And I REMEMBER those dishes too! My grandmother had them, I just *gasped* when I saw them, as they brought back instant memories to me too! Hmmmm, I'll have to be on the lookout for those at the antique malls!

Dana...I love this post! The pink and the beautiful table setting!
I believe those wheat dishes are from soap, but I can't remember which brand. If my head clears, I may remember. Dishes were also given away with cash register receipts. We had some of those too. Ah the anticipation of opening the little box inside the box of soap. We got a lot of towels and wash cloths from soap, too.

Hello Dana, I have a couple of minutes before Dancing With the Stars comes on to tell you I am thinking about you. I just read Dot's response to being one of your winners and of course she is a hoot. The last of my company just left this am. I had company for two solid weeks. sigh. Not that I didn't enjoy them, I did. I am just worn out. Thanks for your email I don't think I'm as tough as you think. Smile.
Take care...Jeanne
