Happy to be home

 I love our RV and friends from our club, but it is so nice to be home.  The only bad thing is it is exactly the way I left it.  You see my husband is giving my kitchen a face lift.  It is a good way for him to unwind and relax after a 60 plus hour work week.  Lucky for me he enjoys doing it.  Unlucky for me he has little time to work on it.  So with cabinet foods, pots, dishes etc. my entire house feels disjointed.  I am hoping, since we only have one more trip, he may be able to get it done before the holidays.

Well in the mean time I thought I would show you what I have been doing.  I had some great shopping experiences, I figured out how to set up a shop on Etsy, (tho it is still empty) and I crafted some of Miss DeDe's addictions, dolls.

I hope you remember my best friend of 20 years DeDe.  She's the one I tell my husband, that has this terrible monkey on her back, not me.  She began collecting these adorable bisque dolls.  Even though I am not a seamstress I have enjoyed dressing these little lovelies.  So she and I have agreed to list a few on Ebay.  Well that hasn't happened yet either.  But it will.

At least I am happy to be here with all of you Pinkies and our hostess Beverly for Pink Saturday.  Anyone can join us here:

I hope you find many pink blogs to inspire you

I hope your summer was a happy one

And of course I hope you enjoy  MY PINK PRETTIES

                                   Please meet my dear friend Dede.

She has never even told one of my secrets.  Now that's a friend!

Pink Saturday

Hi all Pinkies,

Sorry I have missed your postings and haven't left any of my own.  I'm thinking a few weeks and I will be back to normal.  Just a  favorite dollie  pic. to say Hello.  I've been working on my new Etsy banner and avatars.  If you have the time please let me know what you think.  This is it above, and on my profile.    Since my husband is taring up my home to remodel my kitchen,  I thought I should show you a sweetie instead of my mess.   I don't know about you guys but when one room of my home gets redone my whole house goes to he?? in a basket.  And of course no matter what project, my husband always needs another "VERY IMPORTANT MUCH NEEDED TOOL"  Well I am going to go to Miss Beverly's Pink Saturday for a much needed sweet pink break.  If you need one too, please join us here:

                                                     http://howsweetthesound.typepad.com/

I hope to talk to you soon

I hope all is well with you

I hope you enjoy MY PINK PRETTIES

and

I really miss you

Hope and Hugs to you and yours

A fun wedding blog hop

There is a very exciting wedding blog on Friday.  You can post anything about weddings or stories of weddings that you want.  I know all of us from the 60's and 70's have great stories to share.  I can't wait to see what stories and pics all of you have.  You can go here:

                                                                    http://angelicaccents.blogspot.com

For a little more info you can go here

I will be out of touch until after the weekend, so you ladies just go ahead and have a great time without me!!  I wish I had the time to tell you my story.  Suffice to know:  one pregnancy,  one reuniting of a couple that ended in marriage and triplets, one cousin and family from Germany that we got to know, and one jackass (obviously not my side of the family) in jail.  A great time was had by all.

Until next time

Hope and Hugs

       to

You and Yours

Playing in pink

I started gathering some of my pink vases from around the house to use for all of the lovely spring blooms.  I use most of them for both live and artificial flowers.  As I live in a northern climate they have faux flowers in them most of the time.  While I was gathering and  congregating them in my sun room, I noticed how lovely they looked together enemas.  Well I thought, let the playing begin!

I find it so interesting how adding or subtracting, or even a mere shift in a piece can change the look completely.   I love how the faux flowers come to life when adding real flowers to them.  Can you guess which is which?  At any rate  I knew this would be my Pink Saturday post.  Oh in case you don't know,  Miss Beverly invites us all to her blog to play with pink every Saturday.  You can join us here:
                                                           http://howsweetthesound.typepad.com/

I found a new friend who likes to play too.  Check her out- her blog is great.  It's here
                                                             http://pattyspthings.blogspot.com/

I do hope you will join in the fun.

I hope you visit many pink pals.

And of course I hope you enjoy MY PINK PRETTIES

Oh my husband just came in giggling.  He said " I don't know how to tell you this Dear, but I think you have PIGGED OUT on pink!"   WWWWHHHaaaattt.  Ladies is that even possible?

SOOO I guess I will just have to sit here with my Pink Lady Martini and contemplate that.

"Aahh" he says with a smile, I'll have one too".

Short Pink Post

Hi  all Pinkies,    My son had an accident, which has pretty much consumed my every waking moment.  Slow but sure he's getting up and about.  He'll be coming home this weekend.  Not sure how many of you I will get to see, but I know it will be a great comfort to me to see all of those Pink  Pretties.  If  you need pink comfort please join us at Miss Beverly's Pink Saturday.  You will find pink comfort all over the place.  Join us here:

Serene whites kissed with pinks

I wanted a cozy but serene look heading through spring into summer.  I think summers are so busy that it is necessary for me to have a quiet soft place to fall.  Hectic rushing about all of the time wears  me out!  Don't get me wrong I love our friends and activities, so I'm not complaining.  I do find to many people just run so much today, that they really don't even have time to smell the roses.

I  decided to make life easier I would choose ideas that could last through until fall.  This way I can choose to change it all or leave it all.  Of course I will change some vignettes, just because I love playing with my house, but much of it will stay the same. 

When I visit Miss Beverly's Pink Saturday blog hop, I always find so many ideas.  I usually  then find I need to try some out.  Great fun.  You can find ideas here:

                                                      howsweetthesound.typepad.com

I do hope your home is a soft place to fall away from this great madness we call life.

I hope you will come play with us at Miss Beverly's.

And of course  I hope you enjoy MY PINK PRETTIES

If you have the time

I enjoy reading
