HEART HINGED BOXES

HEART HINGED BOXES

This little cottage shelf hangs in our entry & I love to decorate it for the changing seasons. Right now it is showcasing my collection of porcelain hinged boxes in honor of Valentine's Day.

Top shelf has an iron bank of Mutt & Jeff that belonged to my sweet Grandmother next to a picture of her in a pressed back chair ~ she looks to be about a year old.

Next shelf has a perfume bottle hinged box & a picture of me taken at the State Fair of Texas in 1956 on a stuffed bear ~ I do NOT look like a happy camper! Also a couple of heart themed Vday hinged boxes.

The bottom shelf contains some of my favorites.
Limoges porcelain hinged heart box

Love the pink roses on this one ~ thought Connie would like it, too!

I'll try to share a few more of my heart & Valentine themed items all through the week!

Hugs,

Hmmm.....now how to pass these next two pics off as "pink".....I know.....Keaton's mommy is wearing a pink sparkly sweater.......yeah, that'll do it!!

Isn't he just too cute in this "lil buckeroo" outfit with matching hat & booties that his Aunt Vic (Visuals by Vickie) from Austin sent him?!?

PINK SATURDAY 1/31/09

Once again it is time for another fun PINK Saturday post!! Our sweet hostess for this ever-growing event is Beverly of How Sweet the Sound, so please visit her blog here to see all of this week's participants. You will be amazed at all the pretty pinkness out there!!

My daughter & her sweet friend, Angie, a floral designer, made me this pretty arrangement of pink-tipped roses & added a little cherub to it for my birthday. I love it & I love them! The precious little gal in the oval frame is my dear mother when she was about 3 yrs. old. The small etched heart mirror was a gift to me from my sweet friend Amy of Bunny Rose Cottage.

My favorite silver pitcher full of PINK roses (Cindy ~ My Romantic Home , want to come help me polish?)

A favorite little pink chintz miniature teapot along side one of my Dave Grossman GONE WITH THE WIND Scarlett figurines ~ hey, Nikki of The Scarlett Rose Garden, we need to do a GWTW post together soon!

And by the way, any smudges you see on my mirror are purely a figment of your imagination or a problem with your monitor..... ;0)


The Christmas that my now-DH & I got engaged we were supposed to go to some of the after-Christmas sales together to buy some things for our upcoming new home. Well, I got sick & couldn't go, so soon-to-be DH went alone & he bought me 3 of these little Putz houses, a green, a yellow, & a pink one! Boy, he did good, didn't he? Love how the "smoke" billows out of the chimney & how the roof glistens with snow. I treasure all three & use them each Christmas.



Okay, okay, I KNOW this is a PINK Saturday post, but I've just got to post a couple of pics of the new little man in my life!

I've got it......he's got sweet PINK lips!!

Meet KEATON!

Every inch of him is just down-right kissable!!

PINK Saturday Hugs,
