Pink peony ring- j' adore..

I have been trying to find out who makes this delightful pink peony ring. I saw it on the blog Absolutely Beautiful Things back in April. If anyone knows please email me. It is so fun- with my obsession with peonies and pink it would be the perfect ring for me.

With Valentine's Day looming in near future I wish I could find out !

Have a PINK day !

Follow the pinkness. . .

In looking over more Charleston photos (I do not work for Charleston tourism really I don't) I see many that I took of paths and doors--some pink some not. But it is intriguing isn't it to see a pretty path and just want to follow it--or someone with a festive door or a door painted a pretty color -I always wonder what the inside looks like.!Make your home inviting -plant fragrant plants along the path to the door, put different door wreaths or swags out for the holidays and not just Christmas..

When guests come over the door or path is their first impression --just like our handshake or how we dress to make a good impression our home should invite people in engage their curiosity.. I know of one company Door Decor who has made a real business of decorating the front door. They have a web site I believe check them out some cute ideas.

Presentation is everything just like beautiful gift wrap a door or path should intrigue and invite and be interesting--you are --so should your door.

Have a PINK day!

Valentine's Day I can't wait!

I am like a 5 year old. I can't wait for Valentine's Day to arrive! I have my V day gifts all made up but cannot show yet-I don't want to ruin the PINK surprise. My Valentine's are usually pink - quelle surprise !! Ha

Here is a little sneak peek--all that I can show till February 13th!! L'amour is a big part of life is it not? It is only right that we have a day celebrating love in all forms. My "girls" (Maltese dogs and my dear cat) will all get a Valentine treat that day too.

Have a PINK day!

Pink, Pink everywhere--in Charleston!

I said yesterday there is a lot of pink in Charleston and I wasn't joking. Here are a few more photos of pinkness in the historic district. Again, not just pink but texture and depth of color make for interesting photos.

As many times as I walk the streets and take photos I always find something new to enjoy when I am there. The historic district is colorful anyway in more ways than one!! Charleston has been voted the friendliest city in USA several times and I believe it. People are warm and gracious and there are certainly a number of resident "characters" living in historic area. It seems many writers and artists like to live there which makes sense to me-- all that beauty can only fuel one's creative spirit--plus no harsh winters what else could an artist want?

Because Charleston is such a walking city you have the time to notice things like the pink bricks in the sidewalk. Those bricks were probably used as ballast in a ship coming over from Europe years ago. God is in the details they say and there are certainly many beautiful details in Charleston if you take the time to "see" the city.

Have a PINK day!

Pink lace and flowers for a pretty closet

Always working on the too small closet to make it neater and easy to find items. The pretty boxes from Michaels helped a lot . I also always use padded hangers--Bed Bath and Beyond always has them and sometimes you find nice ones in speciality shops or linen shops. They are gentler on the clothes--of course I usually get the pink ones !!

I purchased these hatboxes from a company called Marcela about 20 years ago they did ring boxes and hat boxes and pretty fabric covered jewelry boxes too. they don't really make these any longer. I have 4 and I use them for storage in different areas usually in master bed and bath. It is so fun to look at the flowers and lace on top--like some fancy wedding cake.

Another cool rainy day here so I am working (with help from that tres chic Valentine Fairy) on organization still and Valentine presents. And trying to figure out how the photos got messed up in the previous post I moved the text but it stays same on the blog-- huh?

Where ever you are

Have a PINK day!

Useful pink!!

Today I found a pink compass--I will use it for sewing and crafts. It is amazing what you can find in pink now-- I have everything for cooking including: pots, pans, mixer, pie dish, toaster, blender, measuring cups and spoons, can opener,(Kitchen Aid makes a great pink can opener and potato peeler too. The best I've ever had and lasts forever) spatulas, plastic gloves for cleaning, pink aprons, about the only household item I do not have in pink---yet--- is a pink toilet bowl plunger --someday I will find one. I have a pink cell phone, pink calculator, pink pencils, pink blow dryer and on and on.

Soon weather will warm up and I can do my spray painting outside and begin one of my craft projects and for my next sewing idea the compass will come in handy.

Have a pink day!!
