Another pink inkwell in my small collection. This one not too expensive just pretty. It usually sits on my bedroom mantel. I love using these inkwells and feeling connected to women who used them in the past for their personal correspondence.

Have a Pink day!

Wow us Wednesday and White Wednesday

I am having so much fun with my monogram. I use same one that Marie Antoinette had. I have an embosser, rubber stamps of it, sealing wax seal and stencil. I used the stencil to embellish my plain clay flower pot. I read that Marie Antoinette had her monogram on flower pots and milk jugs at her Petit Hameau.

The flower is a balloon flower-- it reseeds and comes back. I planted some in the flower borders too.

I'm joining in the following Wednesday blog links:

I was in Home Depot the other day and noticed these pink keys! Well I had to get a new house key anyway so why not a pink one?

I always keep my house key separate from car keys for security reasons so I put pretty things with my house key my little carriage key ring and Marie Antoinette key ring fob. I like to make the mundane pretty if I can.

Have a Pink day!

Just a quick peek at my Easter decorations. I use the same greenery Easter baskets for us every year. I just add things to them mainly candy or cute trinkets. I am going to play Easter bunny and deliver cookies and cupcakes to the neighbor kids that I know on my street. A local bakery makes cute and yummy cupcakes Sugarplum Visions, and the cookies come from Gabriel's bakery in Marietta--a treasure of a bakery /lunch spot.

First peony of 2012

Happy Spring everyone !

I feel it is offically here since my first peony has opened on April 1. It is called Do Tell and it is one of my favorites. I usually go for the double full fluffy ones but something about this one is so pleasing to me.

Have a Pink day!
