PINK SATURDAY 10-09-2010

My PINKS that I'm sharing today

are what LOVE looks like!

In the form of sweet surprise gifts to my granddaughter from

Sweet SISSIE at Sissie's Shabby Cottage.

Sissie knew that my 14 yr. old granddaughter was going to re-do her bedroom in Paris Apt. Chic, so she hopped to it and got her started in the right direction......

And believe me when I tell you that Sissie KNOWS how to decorate!!
She has possibly THE most beautiful home ever!

Sissie sent Autumn this beautiful decorated tray, several pretty boxes, lovely tags, a glittered seashell, and handpainted Paris ribbon.

Autumn has become quite a fan of anything with the Eiffel Tower on it, so this pretty box was just perfect for her!

And doesn't this pretty box (which just so happens to match Autumn's new bedspread EXACTLY!) just say it all?!?!

The following gift was sent to me by one of my dearest friends ever

Sweet CELESTE of Celestina Marie Designs!

I had a rough month healthwise toward the end of summer and Celeste took pity on me and really helped cheer me up with a precious "get well" package ~ a heart ornament that I had swooned over from her collection of handpainted ornies!
I'm so excited to finally have one of her hearts ~ I have TONS of her handpainted treasures but I really did NEED this heart!

  Celeste's packages are always so prettily wrapped!

 These sweet ornie will be displayed prominently year round.....

and it will look hummmm-docious on my PINK tree this Christmas!

Much love to Sissie for loving my granddaughter and much love to Celeste for always being there for me!!

Sissie has a fabulous Etsy shop here 

Celeste has an incredible Etsy shop here

Big PINK SATURDAY Hugs,

The "Other" Half!!

The "Other" Half!!

Last time I posted about all the wonderful treats from my friend & PRH Sister Shirl. Well, Shirl just happens to have a daughter named Jen of Jennifer's Petal Palace & she is every bit as sweet as Shirl is, & I was lucky to have Jen as my Christmas Swap partner!

I purchased some beautiful silver & pink handpainted Christmas ornies from Jen years ago before I ever met her, so this year she gifted me with some beautiful blue handpainted ornies that go great in my red/blue dining room!!

Jen knows that I collect spare body parts (hands to be exact), so she handpainted her special roses on this lovely hand vase for me. Look, Vic, I don't have to try to swipe yours now!!



Jen also creates the yummiest faux food that you'll ever see. I am so lucky to have some of her beautiful cupcakes!

She also gifted me with this adorable birthday cake!

Look at this gorgeous vintage inspired ornament!!! Love the millinery on it!

Jen knows how much I love cupcakes, so she gifted me with two of her precious cupcake ornies ~ one blue....

one pink....

And the piece de resistance....my very own "JEN" special faux ice cream cone!!

See, I told you she was the other half of the dynamic duo of Shirl/Jen!! To view more of Jen's items, you can visit her Lolli Shop Store here.

Now, I'm off to find more missing pictures.....
