Years ago I started to make my own holiday greeting cards. I always use an image I have photographed or an image by an artist that made something for me. I love the Crane card stock and pale pink envelopes. I usually try to make the image and the verse relate to each other.

This year's card is of my front door swag that I made last year. I used my new pink and white letter caddy that Pink Boy painted and embellished. It used to be red and green when I bought it at Tuesday Morning. Now it is Pinked and so pretty. Glitter pens in silver and gold also make it festive. All these extra touches make the task of addressing envelopes fun. I even made my own postage.

Have a Pink day!

Swan tree topper

New swan topper by James Lutke

I have 25 of these swans I adore them

Swan topper

While watching the HGTV show about decorating The White House they showed the work of James Lutke--he made all the bird tree toppers out of natural materials like moss and plant parts for some of the trees in 2010.

I tracked him down and he made me a swan tree topper. He ended up making it out of wire, paper mache and glitter and glue. It is wonderful and eye catching. It is the perfect topper for my largest tree in the front room that is covered in all pink ornaments and Kurt Adler resin swans from 1990's/ I treasure each swan and a few have had minor surgery on their opened wings.

Madison Georgia Garden Shop -Le Petit Jardin

Madison, Georgia shop

Beautiful things spill out onto the sidewalk

These conservatories made from old windows are cute

Le Petit Jardin

Madison Georgia is a wonderful small town with so much going for it.

I love garden shops and Madison's Le Petit Jardin does not disappoint.

It has floral, plants, signs, some furniture, glass garden houses, statues. Prices range from $3- up . I found things were well priced and some unusual items you do not see everywhere. The do weddings and events and feature European floral design.

It is charming and pretty just like the town itself. The staff is warm and friendly.

Paris and angel hair

Happy Pinkmas to all.

I am finished decorating--I say that every day and then do some more. This is my homage to Paris-- I wish I could be there at Christmas time--someday I will.

I discovered this new to me product at Target- Twinkle Trim it is like angel hair but no glass safe and non toxic. I have used it in the little dome and on two of my trees. I love it! So when I look at this little cloche and squint up my eyes and dream I am in Paris for a brief instant... yes, yes I am.

Have a Pink day!

Migraines are such a pain--pun intended. Even though I know the triggers sometimes I cannot prevent one. I think if I have to take the migraine pills I may as well make it pretty. I just bought this pretty PINK box to hold my pills. I keep it at my bedside so if I wake with one I can take it right away. Might as well make the best of things.
Have a Pink day!

A Holiday find at Home Goods

I found this small iron sleigh at Home Goods last month. They only had one. I brought it home and it will go beside the front door under the overhang so it will be protected from rain and snow.

So fun planning where to decorate. We have a very very PINK holiday here. Come back and visit and see other pink holiday trimmings.

Have a Pink day!

We love throwing a party. Especially at holiday time. Just because it is Christmas doesn't mean I give up any of my pink. We have a very pink Christmas here.

Just a sneak peek at the PINK invitations that were sent out to friends. A busy holiday season is always so fun. Wish I could invite all my blog friends too.

Have a Pink day!
