PINK SATURDAY 8/21/09 and a PINK Give Away!

~ Sweet Ballet Slippers Giveaway ~

It is time once again for another fun PINK SATURDAY, so I thought I would show you how I decorate with my daughter's old ballet slippers around the house.

On my dresser in our bedroom

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.

All you have to do to enter is just leave me a comment on this post before midnight Friday, August 28th.

Beverly of How Sweet the Sound is our hostess for another fun day of PINKNESS, so please hop over to her blog for a list of participants.....after you see all the fun ways you can decorate with sweet little ballet slippers.

Foufed & glittered ornaments

Even as chandilier decorations for a special little girl's room

Now don't forget to leave me a comment if you would like a chance to win a new pair of ballet slippers of your very own to decorate with. Winner will be announced next week on PINK SATURDAY.

And if by chance you would like to purchase a pair, I have a few for a limited time only on my selling blog, Angelic Accents a la Carte.

Oooh, I don't want to get up....Give me just FIVE more minutes to stretch my sweet little pink padded paws.....OK?....Wait....I gotta get up!

It's PINK SATURDAY!!!!!

My post today is cute Kitty themed! So meow on over to our purr-fect hostess, Beverly at How Sweet the Sound to see more PINK participants today.

My kitty just loves to bat crocheted items that have been stiffened around, so I have had to hang/place MANY things up out of his reach, like this sweet PINK and white crocheted wedding bell!

All you girls know of my love / fascination with antique mirrors & how I also sell them here on eBay. Well, here is a unique one that I have NEVER seen another like....




Pretty, even at a glance, right? But when you look a bit closer, doesn't it look like a kitty cat's head?

Kinda?

Or have I been sniffing just a tad too much Windex?!?!




See, here are her ears......



Oh well, if you aren't into kitty cats, go back & enlarge each pic and enjoy the pretty pinks reflected in the background of the mirror & my special old crazed teapot with the teensy pink roses on it!

As for me, I'm off to get a humongous dose of PINKNESS over at Beverly's, and then I just might have to take a little cat nap!

Big PINK SATURDAY Hugs,
