Pink Packages for Pink Saturday

It's that time again..a time for all of us to show our pink pretties, Pink Saturday. So lets all scamper on over to our sweet hostess
Beverly
and see what all the pinkies are up to.

My offerings this week for Pink Saturday, will be these three packages of Aunt Martha's transfer patterns. Thankfully they have some pink, I say thankfully because I seem to be running out of pinks to post.
These three are out of a collection of perhaps 100, maybe more. I seem to have this "thing" for patterns....tho I didn't realize that until recently. My husband pointed out to me the other day.."you don't seem to use any of them". Thats when it came to me..I am a collector, not a doer
but I'm running out of room. *deep sigh. Soon I will have to write a short book,
entittled " Confessions of a Crazed Collector" or "101 ways to Become a Hoarder".
In any case, I like these little patterns..the ducks are my favorites. I wish I knew the age of the patterns,but I can find no dates. The only system I have is the pricing of the packages and the look of the package. I know that I don't remember the price ever being this low. If anyone has a better way, let me know. I would really like to know how to date them.

  2. These look like fun. I have some of these and a few old one that my mom had. I love to embroider and since I started taking pain med for arthritis, I can embroider in short sittings now. Am very thankful. Have a great day.

  10. Great goodies you're sharing! Don't you just ♥ Pink Saturday? This is the one day that I get to totally indulge myself, get all girlie, drink tea with cream, and share time with friends on the internet. Your blog post this week was wonderful...as usual!

    Went out to dinner with friends, so I'm a little late, but better late than never, right? I wish you a Sunday filled with family, l♥ve, sunshine and peace.

  11. Hello CC, I love Aunt Martha's patterns. They are a treasure and you have 100 of these treasures. I don't know much about them but you can Google them and see if there is any info on them. Or go to Ebay. Good luck.

    Hugs...Jeanne
