PINK SATURDAY 10/03/09

I just love my antique mirrors ~ this beautifully carved one doesn't match my shabby cottage decor in the family room, so I'm selling it. But it sure does reflect the beauty of pink roses!

Digging through some of my old dress patterns, I found this one that my MIL made for our daughter to wear in a wedding years ago. I need to find a picture of her wearing this to share with you. Her flower girl dress was in pale blue, but I thought the pattern just perfect for PINK SATURDAY!

We toured several new homes recently and I noticed that there seems to be a new style chandelier being featured. A blingy fixture surrounded by a silk "drum" shade. Not sure if I like this trend or not. Just give me unadulterated B L I N G !!!

Ahhh, a PINK bathroom with a gorgeous Venetian Glass Mirror as featured in Domino Magazine

Sweetness herself, Miss Beverly of How Sweet the Sound is our ever faithful hostess each Saturday for PINK SATURDAY. Please stop by her blog and say hello and check out the list of other participants. You will be glad you did!

One that I recently visited and would like to introduce you to is Martha of Martha's Favorites. Any gal that is a self-professed "serial collector" is MY kind of gal!! Martha has a beautiful blog and you will love her!

Show Us Your Roosters Party

The Rooster Party is HERE all you chicks and roosters!! Our lovely hostess for this barnyard event is Barb of Bella Vista so stop by her blog here to see all the other participants!

I can't remember the last time I was so excited about a party.......So......

let's all

SHAKE OUR TAIL FEATHERS

and get this party started!

I'm going to show you the ever growing FOWL of our home, but first, two adorable chandeliers I would one day like to have.

This one is REALLY doing it for me! I think it would look terrific with my pink/green toile kitchen chairs that I re-did!! Click here to see them.

I think this lamp would be great for Barb's home

Now, for my home tour.......

My old German pine cupboard is absolutely full of Rooster/Hen plates, graduated pitchers, and measuring bowls. Atop sits a cannister set and a small wooden rooster pull toy.

Cross-stitch that I did back in 1988

An old Prince Albert can that was repainted years ago ~ I purchased it at a flea market.

I told you I even have mirrors in the kitchen! Hubby, Daddy and I made the silverplated teapot lamp.

Hasn't everyone had one of these salt-dough creations sometime or another?

Small Cloche with one of my favorite teensy roosters

International Tableware ~ Windy Hill (named for the weather vane theme)

I forgot I had this Chicken Ranch Saloon Birdhouse. Found it in a box in the utility room. Talk to me just right and I will sell it to you as it is brand new & I just placed it outside to be pictured. It will be listed Friday on my selling blog here.

What a conversation starter!!

I am also selling this pair of rooster/hen prints on my selling blog, too.

I just can't wait to see all the other roosters out in blogland today!

Happy Rooster Hugs & Pecks!

Upstairs in granddaughter's bedroom

Hanging from an antique mirror

Isn't she just tutu cute?!?

She got a lot of use out of this pair & I never had the heart to clean the sweet scuffs off ~ they are just as they were the last time her chubby little feet slipped into them.

Granddaughter's ballerina bear with the brand new pair of pink ballet slippers I will be giving away next Saturday.
