Make Mine Pink's Friday Shopping Event

Whenever I come across one of my favorite things, I feel a sudden flutter. Do you know the the feeling? It's a little thrill that tells me this is something special. Maybe it's a memory that the item brings to mind or perhaps it's just the way it catches the sunlight. Maybe you’re not really sure what it is about this particular item, you just recognize the pleasure it gives you when you see it.Whimsical treasures always stir that feeling in me. Faux pastries iced with lace and trimmed with vintage laces, pink polkadots on cupcakes and tiaras on clocks, things I only imagined in places I never expected. Vintage china pieces hand painted with roses, just like the ones my grandmother used to set, create that same inexplicable feeling of delight. Table linens in particular, remind me of the special teas I shared with her so many years ago. Almost anything with a pretty scent is on my list of favorite things.

Beautifully wrapped scented soaps, displayed in a ceramic bathtub, covered in roses. Sometimes I'll tuck and extra fragrant bar into a drawer to add a bit of fragrance to my clothing.In the bedroom, armfuls of flower-covered pillows are piled on the bed - the more the better. Dainty hankies draped over the shade of a favorite bedroom lamp, create just the right lighting for a summer night. A crystal vase placed on a table in the center of the room sparkles in the sunlight and makes me smile when it catches my eye.Favorite things come in all shapes and sizes, colors and scents. Whatever stirs that little flutter in you, you're sure to discover it at Make Mine Pink.

The Best Of Life's Offering

I missed blogging yesterday. It was a jam packed day...a Mom's Day. Many of my friends are at the same place I am in life where we are blessed to be helping care for our elderly parents. We lovingly refer to these days as a "Mom's Day". It's true that sometimes it's hard to sacrifice the time, there are always so many pressures, things calling for my attention. But truth is, my family if the best of life's offerings. So for now, I'll pick and choose what I can move off my plate so there is room enough and time enough to spend on what really matters before it too slips away. This picture is so sweet...my Mom and my grandson...so sweet. Truly two of the best things in my life.

A Special Sale~Keeping It Green

I love to craft using cast offs of the past mixed with elements of the new! Giving something a new life and keeping it from going into the trash is the best of both worlds. I love surrounding myself with the memories of the past, but spruces up with the flair of the present. This weeks themed sale at Make Mine Pink was just the motivation I needed to get going on a few new project! I've had such fun this week working on some jewelry pieces and getting into our vintage textiles cutters. Stop by Forget Me Not Dreams on Friday to see what I've been working on and be sure to visit the other participating shops too! Celebrate Earth Day and Keeping It Green, join us for this special sale!

This past few years have been a whirlwind of fun and excitement as our business has grown and grown.
