Vacation Time! Pink Saturday & Another Award
I was thrilled to be awarded this Blogging Friends Forever Award for a second time. This time was from my PRH Sister Steph. Thank you so much Steph, I'm not going to name five people again since I already did that in a previous post. Please feel free to click on the pictures to get a better look.
Well we are all packed and ready to head out to the Outer Banks of NC. Wow after we got the boat hooked up were about as long as a tractor trailer! LOL
On to my Pink Saturday Post hosted by Beverly of How Sweet The Sound.Some of the things I've packed for my vacation are pink, of couse! So I thought I would post pics of that for you to enjoy.
First is a pic of a pretty pink quilt that I'm taking with me. I was inspired by my favorite book "Victorian Chic, by Anita Louise Crane. She suggests bringing pretty linens from home to make your rental cottage seem more like home.
I've also packed some pretty sachets, and other linens.
These sweet little sachets were made by my PRH Sister Katie. She did them in the 30's repo prints that I just love. Just had to tuck them in my suitcase!
Some pretty embroidered pillow cases and table toppers.
I thought you would love these pretty pink flipflops!
A pretty pink beach umbrella, it was sold for breast cancer awarness.
Some little Yardley Soap Sachets I made for some friends that I will be vacationing with.
Oh I just had to show you this, I stopped at a local flea market today and got this pretty vase for $3.00. It's a nice tall vase, quit a buy!

Each of your pinks are so lovely, especially the blanket. I just love roses. Have a wonderful holiday weekend.
Beautiful vase! 3.00? Wow! that would have been a good buy at 30.00. Love all your linens!
Thank you for your sweet comments. We are having a wonderful time. I will post some pics soon.
Rhea I thought it looked like it could have been a lamp also. I just might make it into one. Their are no works in it and has no notch for a cord.
Mary my curtains are called Dorothy's Ruffled Orginals. I got them in the 80's and they are still hanging in there.
Donna, I got the umbrella at Rite Aid, check them out you might find one!
Beverly we are staying on Cape Hateras Island. A wonderful place, not to crowded, old time fishing village. This is our 14th vacation here. As the saying goes "Hatteras on my Mind", it's so true!
I got the quilt through mail order, I forget the name but will check and post it to you all later.
Blessings from the Sea! Shirl
Love, Love, Love your beautiful linens, do you create the pillow cases? I drool over such beautiful display.
