PINK SATURDAY 1 Yr. Anniversary! 5/30/09

Thought it would be fitting to feature a PINK birthday cake with one star candle in honor of the one year anniversary of PINK SATURDAY!! Of course, Muffin decided to be in the picture, too! He is always very curious when I make pictures & thinks he should be in the center of all of them. I often times just crop him out, but he looks so sweet that I left him in this one!

PINK SATURDAY is the terrific brainchild of our own sweet Beverly at How Sweet the Sound. She tirelessly heads up the glorious PINK party each week & we are all so indebted to her for the gorgeousness she spurs us on to create/share! I honestly can't remember what Saturdays were like before this!! Please visit her here to see all the other PINK participants today!

This lovely Bailey Banks & Biddle chocolate brown box tied in pink ribbon was gifted to me by my daughter & soon to be son-in-law the night before their wedding at the rehearsal dinner about a year and a half ago.
Inside was this darling sterling silver cha-cha bracelet of pink & ivory pearls with a pink breast cancer awareness ribbon charm, a cause close to my heart. This gift was in appreciation for the work I did in helping plan their wedding.

The lovely blingy votive candle was a gift from my sweet friend & PRH Sister Katie of Rose Breeze Boutique. She used my daughter's chosen colors of pink/brown to decorate the votive for me to keep in remembrance of the wedding.


I love bling & couldn't resist showing you my pink ring, a pink Swarovski bracelet, & a gold cuff bracelet with sparkling pink rhinestones.

I recently purchased these pretty pink sandals for Easter & so enjoy wearing them.

Love my sweet glittery lovebirds on a pink heart

My precious friend & PRH Sister Lorena of Rose Chic Friends gifted me with this adorable PINK chenille tassel. It hangs proudly on my bedroom dresser mirror. I love the individual clay roses that she sculpts & uses on many of her items. She puts so much thought & love in everything she creates.

Ending this post with a favorite little ornament of mine ~ a PINK mini-chandelier ~ how perfect!

Happy PINK SATURDAY Hugs,

My New Pretties!

My New Pretties!

Please look at some of my newest pretties! You must realize by now that I adore shabby & chic white furniture, all things pink, & roses, so imagine my delight when I ran across this pretty chest of drawers with ALL my favs on it!
Found this at a furniture store in Dallas, & hey, if ONE is good, then TWO are even better, right? Yep, I bought TWO of these, much to my DH's horror!! Plan on eventually doing something else with them, but for right now this one has been placed in our bedroom.

See the appliques, the crystal knobs, the antique ROSES drawer pulls, the intricate beading, the lattice-work background rose florals?!?!?! Now, really girls, how could I resist? And DH couldn't either, as he didn't have to do ONE thing to it!!

Just the perfect spot for some of my favorite goodies, too! Our soon vintage wedding cake topper, my favorite pink tray, & an adorable little pink & blue birds nest from my sweet PRH sister, Shirl of Shirl's Rose Cottage. It is just chock full of pink seam binding bows & ribbons, a pretty pink rhinestone bauble, a grungy Rose tag, snippets of sheet music, & two robin's egg blue sugared eggs nestled among sweet florals & feathers! Lucky would be the bird that got to roost here! If you love this as much as I do, run over to Shirl's etsy & eBay auctions for some wonderful treats!
My dear as a sis sweet friend Celeste of La Rea Rose handpainted this gorgeous blue tray. Don't you just adore the roses on it? She is one very talented lady, so check out her etsy & eBay shop, too! I think I have something of hers in almost every room of my house now!! I placed one of my favorite little cherubs, two porcelain roses, & a vintage pink kitty cat baby cup nearby. Celeste's tray matches my roses perfectly!!

I also really like how the old quilt that my DH surprised me with goes so wonderfully with all my newer pretties!
These new purchases have prompted a total re-do & thorough cleaning of our master bedroom, so I must get back to the dreaded chore of vacuuming now. Til next time, hope you have as much fun feathering your nest as I'm having with mine!!

Big Hugs,
Stephanie
