Pink Saturday!

Hi my Pink Friends!

Please be sure to visit our wonderful hostess
to see other PINK participants!

Today I am sharing a few goodies that I have created
this week...and they are PINK.


This is my line of Pushpins for your Message boards
made of handmade clay roses! I offer many differing
colors...but of course, PINKs are my hottest sellers!
Then I have used my roses to cover clothespin and then
added a strip of magnet on them...even the handpainted
bookmark comes with these.
I have also sewn 2 of my sweet Tea Cozy's all done up in...
Pinks!
All of my PINK goodies are listed in my etsy store!

Thanks so much for stopping by!
Cant wait to see all the other Pink goodies

Rooster Party!

Welcome Rooster Lovers!

I am just so excited to finally be on top things in my life
so I could to join
and her Rooster Party!

Please be sure to visit Barb and check out
her side bar for other
participants.

I haven't always collected Roosters.
In fact, its only been in the last 5-7 years that I have
incorporated them into my English Country
Style Kitchen and Living Family Room.

I also was very careful and didn't want to end up with just
figurines,  I wanted to find unique Rooster Pieces
that I could display and use in many ways.
So I hope you will enjoy the many vinettes I
have created around my home
that include Roosters.

Let's Get started in my Kitchen area first.
I have a deep window area and have always LOVED
to use this area to stage my collections.
So as you can see, I have many differing rooster that
help me enjoy those mundane chores!
This large ROOSTER Platter is a Marshall's find!
Gotta love that Marshalls!
This plate below has to be my all time favorite!  There's
just something about the rich colors that make me...ahhhh!
As you can see, you must look all around this room to
see how I have used Roosters...
Look up on top of my fridge, even it has roosters.

And before I forget! We mustn't forget to look down.
I couldn't believe that I could find rugs that fit into my rooms
color and rooster scheme!
Okay, so let move on to another area.
Welcome...wont you have a seat at my pretty table full of...
Rooster goodies.  The table cloth compliments the sweet
plates that I recently found at my FAVORITE thrift store.
Got 6 of these plates for a $1 each!
Coasters that have roosters too!
Walls are next...

The carmel roosters are salt/pepper shakers.
A good friend gave me this Utensil Jar...yummy colors!
These 2 roosters nestle by my coffee makers.
Now we have arrived at my kitchen desk center...
where I have used a planter for greens...and do you see
the tiny Rose Tea Rooster?
I shared earlier this week a teapot Lamp...well
it rests upon a neat Rooster box that was given to me.
Then if I look over to my right, from my desk,
I have created this sweet vinette...a ceramic serving piece
and large rooster teapot.
Then above I have hung a tray and ceramic
pie plate above the shelf.

Here's another gift..a sweet small table cloth
with an embroidered hen and chicks.
Then we can move over to the few vinettes in my
family room.
This  lil rooster planter holds our remotes!
Then, the top of our entertainment center has this sweet
vinette...that's a lil suitcase like container...and wood rooster.


Then my last room that has touches of Roosters I'd like to
share is my
Laundry/Mud room.

On top of my Washer/Dryer is this sweet vinette.

This is actually a picture that I made using...decals!
And then I have hung a few of my rooster plates around
this room as well.

Thanks so much for visiting with me!
I certainly enjoyed sharing my home with...
can't wait to come and visit all of you there
who enjoy roosters too!

Tea Time Tuesday!

Hi Sweet Tea Loving Friends!!!

Oh I can't wait to show you my Tea goodies today!

I have made it plain and clear that for a LONG time
I have had a *thang* for anything tea.

I think my TeaPot Lamp is proof that not only
do I collect tea pots..they come in many
forms as well!



This lamp was a gift from my sister many years ago.
I have loving family that know what I love
and always know the right gifts to give me.
This lamp resides on my desk that I have
in my kitchen area!

The sweet tea cup that I have in the pix,
was one I won from a giveaway...yipppeeee me.
It has some of my other FAV flowers  all
over it...pansies!



Then...the creative side of me loves to create  sew cozies
for teapots.  I have done so off/on for many years
but had not recently made any.
...so  finally for the past few days
 I got to it and have been making
Tea Cozy's! 

Aren't  theses the
perfect compliment to any tea lover's collection?

I did get them listed  in my
 etsy
store if you are interested!

Have a great day my Tea Loving Friends!




To my SWEETHEART of 24 Years!



Sweetie!

What a Journey we are on!
Your unwavering love, support and
just being there for me is...
priceless!



Thank you for being the man
GOD has wanted you to be!
This has been my source of
strength.



I can only pray that our Lord
will grant us 24 more years
to live, laugh and LOVE
together!

Happy Anniversary!!!

I love YOU!

Pink Saturday!

Hi My Sweet Pink Loving Friends!

Well, I'm am late today in getting my post
done due to a fun trip I took yesterday with a friend.
I went with my friend across the state of Michigan to
a town call Muskegon so she could
add some flowers to family gravesides.
We had the best time visiting, sharing,
caring and just being with each other.
A good friend indeed!

So now I must reach back into my pink past and
see what I can find that is pink...

Christmas past!
These are 4 Canvas' that I have painted
and sold...
As you can tell, I did a series of...
Christmas stockings with differing themes.
I even threw in a Vicotiran Shoe...
and loads of pink flowers too!
Happy Pink!
