PINK Dog Pillows

I've just added four new items to my etsy shop.

Actually they are not totally new,

just sold out.

 

I now have two sizes of this

Victoria's Secret

"Pink"

inspired dog pillow.

 

The pillows have been made from

a cast off VS laundry cart bags.

I love to upcycle

and re purpose!

PRETTY IN PINK

Yesterday in the bank 

the lady in front of me was sporting

the cutest pink hat.

I was carrying my favorite PINK tote.

When she turned around and saw me she said

"today must be the day for pink".

For me...

everyday is a good day for PINK!

How could you ever go wrong 

with a little

pink?

I have always been a lover of Pink,

as I get older

I love it more and more.

These days you can get almost anything in Pink.

I dream of having a Pink vintage truck

for the garden.

 What FUN would this be?

Yes Pink is the color for me.

 

I'm going to continue to follow 

Barbie's lead.

After all, it has "worked" for her

for many many years.

CARVING OUT A CORNER

It is so hard to believe October has come and gone.

Seems like it was just yesterday

I was changing my bedroom from Summer to Fall.

Now we are into November and

I'm already thinking about decorating for Christmas,

I hear you...what about

Thanksgiving you say...well I'm thankful every day of the week

and in this household

Thanksgiving gets somewhat lost.

We are hosting a Holiday Show and Sale

November 19th.-21st

My sister Susan, who is an incredible designer/artist

along with several of her artist friends are coming together

for their second annual

Fiber Art Show.

This year it lands two weeks earlier
so our home must be decked for Christmas

one week before Thanksgiving.

Last week I moved a large piece of furniture (quilt shelf)

out of my bedroom.

My hope was, to create a space that would generate

creative thought.

And so...here it is.

I moved my bed around to a larger wall to make a little more room
in the corner for my desk and chair.

The desk was formerly at the end of the bed
in the other arrangement.




I had lots of used frames in the basement.
Some were given a fresh coat of paint, others I

used "as is".

I decided to go with a black and white scheme. I felt like it would go with
almost any decor in the bedroom.
Also I snagged some great hounds tooth paper that
Victoria's Secret was getting rid of
(it pays to work at VS, in more ways than one).






I backed all the frames with the paper and then made a

collage with them.
Then I just started putting things I love on them.
Favorite prints, favorite pins,
favorite anything.




This is a new print I recently got from Etsy.
It's by an artist named Tracy Lizotte. Her site is
Oodles of Doodles
Paintings and Prints
tmlcreations.etsy.com
When you have a minute check out her online store,
she has some amazing things.







I love this silk flower pin.
I purchased it last year at our 2009 Holiday Show.

Carolyn White is the Fiber Artist, everything she does is beautiful.

I wore it on my black & white herringbone coat
all last winter and got loads of compliments.





I'm big on mixing hard and soft things together.
I created this piece from one of my Aunt Virginia's hand made
doilys and a zipper pin I picked up at a jewelry show.
I like it!





I've just used this and that, some were gifts, others I've picked up
here and there.







Another toss from Victoria's Secret, this bright blue
ladder formally in the PINK window.




So there you have it, my little corner.



I'll be joining some very exciting parties this week,
stop by and visit these amazingly creative people.

IN THE PINK

I never really thought of myself as a PINK person, but once I got into gardening, it just kind of evolved. I'm talking about my Summer garden, my Spring has a completely different color pallet.

I think one of the reasons I've acquired so many pink plants, is the introduction to all the lovely flowers that show up every Spring and Summer that aid the Breast Cancer.

A second reason so much PINK is in my life is of course due to the fact that I'm a Victoria's Secret girl, after all one of their most successful brands is PINK



























These are a few of the pink roses that are in my neighbor's and my adjoining bed. I have to confess they were not planted by me but I tend them and enjoy them now that Anna is unable to.









Someone ask me once what was the name of this beautiful pink Iris, unfortunately I do not know.

Shades of PINK from my Cheddar pinks.

Razzmatazz, a PINK cone flower from the Breast Cancer selections

Our beautiful, late blooming Crepe Myrtle

Happy gardening to all.
