It’s time for Pink Saturday again…

and I have a touch of Spring to share with you. This was part of my Birthday present this year – I love Tulips and especially pink ones!

See the snow outside the window? That is what was leftover from Thanksgiving and Christmas. We NOW have several more feet of snow that just started Wednesday evening and is still going strong.

I also have some new tags to share with you…

and….

and also…

Pop on over to Beverly’s at How Sweet the Sound and have some fun visiting a wonderful group of people who love pink and love to share. It’s time well spent.

Take care and try to do something each day that fills your creative soul.

Have You Been Watching…..

Papertrey Ink’s release countdowns this month? If not, you need to get on over to  Nichole Heady's Blog and check them out! Every month they put out the BEST stuff and you can’t imagine how they are going to top that – and then they do!! Do you like vintage buttons and button cards, how about doilies and cute little tags….yep and the list goes on an on. And they have a new challenge everyday where you can win the best prizes.

The challenge today is to make a tag with a frame. I decided I was going to make the tag for my sweet husband’s Valentine’s Day Gift. So, here it is…

and from the side…

Very simple, didn’t take long, masculine, and still has my bling!!

Take care friends and do pop over to Nichole Heady’s Blog and take a look!!

A Special Gift…..

from a special friend – my secret sister on SCS.  Thank you for such a fun and wonderful box of goodies and the time and effort you put into this!  It’s so much fun to get a box of goodies in the mail.

Look at all this!! Beautiful brown satin ribbon, the sweet card, pop dots and adhesive, and on and on – all things I can really use besides being so darn cute – see the little domino ornament – that will definitely be on my tree next year.

 

Let me just say – there is one thing missing from this photo – a Kit Kat candy bar which I opened and ate immediately, but look at this little beauty. I love the snow globe and pink snow Angie.

and this cute little penguin – penguins are one of my most favorite images for Winter, along with a handmade paper clip – that will get a lot of use.

and look at these adorable tags…

and a very cool notebook – can always use paper for making my many copious notes….

and then, who doesn’t love Basic Grey paper – the paper in this pad is gorgeous!

Thank you so much Angie, I know you took this over at the last minute and I so appreciate all you have done.

Take care everyone.

Happy Pink Saturday

to everyone. Pop on over to Beverly’s at How Sweet the Sound and look at all the gorgeous pink posts. Some of the participants are absolutely amazing. Thank you Beverly for hosting this for us.

My contribution today is a platter I found at a thrift store sometime back – and I hope I haven’t posted it before…..

and a closer look at the pretty flowers…

With a  little research, I found that It was made by the W.S. George Radisson Pottery Co., in the U.S.A. around 1944 and the name of the pattern is Laura Lee.

And lastly some pretty bird tags with pink flowers and ribbons…

Happy Pink Saturday to you

Happy Pink Saturday everyone.

Cottage Colors Party

There’s a new party in town….

Etsy Cottage Style is now having a monthly Color Party beginning the 4th Monday of each month. This month’s color is blue. Pop on over and see some lovely blogs and blues.

My blues came about by accident really – as I’m not that much into them. But a friend gave me a bottle of wine in a beautiful cobalt blue with a wonderful dragonfly (one of my favorite things) label and I could not part with it.

Now what am I suppose to do – it doesn’t really go with anything in my home. Interestingly enough I happened upon a garage sale and what did I find – a beautiful little blue and white bird – some type of lid I guess as you can tell there was at some point another piece to it – but I love birds and now I had something to go with my wine bottle.  Looks like I didn’t take a really good photo of it – it’s in the bottom left corner (and that old float is really a pretty shade of blue – but it also did not take a good photo.

Here’s a better pic of the bird…

Now you know, 2 things just are not symmetrical so now I had to have another piece and what did I find – a really old beat up white bowl with blue trim,  I’m not even sure how I came by it, but it was in a box of old dishes that I somehow inherited – now I had my 3 pieces and the beginning of a collection. It’s in the back against the wall. The little item to the bottom right is a broken and chipped – but I love it and had to have it – I have no idea what it is – maybe part of a child’s tea set?  It’s one of my favorites, and there’s a better photo below.

I’ve kept if fairly small contained in built in shelves in one of our bathrooms which has now been totally relegated to blues, creams/whites, and a soft latte color.

Have a wonderful day.
