Frippery

I love old fashioned words like frippery, lolly gaggle,pox, etc etc I could go on. Just a few images of what I would term lovely frippery. The bracelet is Chanel photo by Chanel.  So chic. The big ribbon work tassel or perhaps it is a purse is sooo fun!

It has been so hot here I hate extremes in temperature. I actually do not feel well when it is really hot or cold. So I have neglected the blog lately also my world is a bit boring at the moment! No trips planned, no parties to attend, no projects. I need projects to be happy!

Have a Pink day!

Ribbon work tea cozy

This beauty I found on Ebay from UK. French ribbon work is so pretty. I love to have a cup of tea in the afternoon and this tea cozy keeps the tea pot warm so I don't have to rush!

I've been making floral arrangements for the house lately from flowers at the Saturday morning Farmer's Market on the Marietta Square and then I dry the larkspur and roses to use in potpourri. I add in some Queen Ann's lace and some roses from my garden to full the arrangements out.

Happy Pink Saturday--Please stop by:

Ribbon work purse!

I am so enthralled with ribbon work right now. I hope I can learn how to make roses and buds and little scrolls with French silk ribbons.

I bought this little purse on EBay a few weeks ago I adore it. I have it on my mantle with a few other vintage items.. I bid on the exquisite bonnet on EBay and lost-- very disappointed as it was a superb example.

I enjoy sharing my treasures and they inspire me to try to learn new things. Living my "pink" life includes enjoying things from the past while learning new things in the present.
