A cute little antique Scotty dog flower holder in PINK that would be perfect for a pin cushion.
At $5 it's a bargain, and reminds me of my childhood.
What better thing to buy on a big birthday weekend??
I added a pin cushion made from a bright turqoise and pink fabric stuffed with wool batting scraps, tied with ribbon floss!
I'm in love...

OOOoooohhhhh I love it too! What a great repurpose!
Nice Collection you have there.
What a great find. That Scottie is so cute. Scotties have always been close to my heart. When I was born my parents had a Scottie named Bonnie. She wouldn't look at me, totally insulted that they brought another pup into the house. But they would find her sleeping under my crib when they weren't looking!
My grandfather had a brass hound dog pipe stand. I sure wish I had that again!
You sure had a great time at the beach. What a fun birthday treat!
And a finished product! We don't always get something to that state right away, but you did! Cute, cute, cute---what a nice birthday treat to you!
I love your scotty pincushion! Great use of the pink vase (or whatever it was)!
I know, whatever it was. I looked it up online, and it seems to have been a vase made in the 50's but it's small enough to be an egg cup.
Imagine these days taking enough time to soft boil an egg and eat it out of the shell in a cup!! Times are different.
What a great idea for a really cute pincushion. I have some small items from my childhood (I'm 73) and I think you have given me a clue as to how to use them in my sewing room. Thanks for this.
What a clever repurpose. I will have to keep an eye out for similar little ceramics. They would make terrific gifts for the quilter or crafter in one's life!
I love it! It looks as though that is what it was meant to be:-)
Celebrating pinkly!
And a happy belated birthday to YOU!
Cuuuuuttttteeee! Thanks for sharing it.
Hugs
I'm in love too! I have a soft spot for pin cushions, what a cutey!
They are adorable!
hi LeeAnna!
What a fun collection to see growing!
Take care,
Joanne
Hi there, thanks for coming by our blog and good to meet you.That was a good find for sure. You all have great day..
Just as cute as I knew it would be!
What a sweet new pincushion!
You just can't beat finding and re-purposing fun found items like that!
a beautiful find! love the little pin cushion
Way cute! And happy birthday!
Your pin cushions are super cute! I got a white poodle flower pot from my MIL and was thinking of turning it into a pin cushion. Now I know how to do just that! Thanks for sharing.
Well, that will bring you much joy. Nice find. I can't have pin cushions because of my cat, Opus. He tries to eat pins! Happy Birthday!
I love your pin cushions--especially a particular black poodle one. So clever of you to add the pin cushion to a little cup. Oh, yes, happy birthday!
What an interesting idea. Makes for a fun pin cushion. Thanks for linking up with TGIFF.
What a great idea to stick a pincushion in that pink Scotty. I like your entire collection.
Very cute! I always wonder what those ceramics with the opening on one side were meant for. I guess it could be a flower holder.
Such a cute pincushion. And of course, we were friends because of beautiful pincushions. And I'm so happy about it.
What a great ceramic collection you have - I do have a bunny I can make into a pincushion for the next parade!!
Such a fabulous idea and all those pincushions are sew cute...
Great idea - I'll be looking at egg cups and other containers differently now - these are gorgeous :-)
Adorable Scotty pincushion....a perfect addition to your collection! Is the Scotty a McCoy ceramic piece? Thanks for joining the parade and good luck!
I love your scotty dog pin cushion. I've been looking out for old egg cups to make into pin cushions but no luck so far.
