PINK SATURDAY & SUNBONNET SUE GIVEAWAY

Hello and welcome to Pink Saturday hosted by Beverly of How Sweet The Sound. If you go to visit her you can get a list of all the other participants. Thank you Beverly for hosting this fun event.

Today for my pinkness I have this pretty vintage sampler. Some of you might remember I posted a pic of this when I purchased it back in Jan. I took it out of the frame, washed and iron it, painted the mat pink and painted the gray frame white and antiqued it a little.


Sorry about the glare from the light. I have it all ready for my new sewing room that is still being remodeled. The sampler reminds me of the fireplace in my sewing room. I'd love to find some pink ceramic tile to do mine up this way. I'd like tile around the opening in the fireplace and on the floor in front of it. I have been looking but so far all the pink tile I find is more of an antique rose look. Isn't it just the cutest little emboidered sampler? Doesn't it look like a peaceful little place to hang out?

Below is what it looked like when I purchased it.

Next is my giveaway. Below is a cute little Sunbonnet Sue needle case that I made, she has some pretty little crystal beads on her hat and bouquet.

When you lift her skirt you will find a place to hold your sewing needles. To enter just post a comment on this post and if your not a follower please sign up as one. If you drag the pic and post my giveaway on your sidebar I will enter your name twice. Let me know if you do that so I can be sure to put your name in twice. I will post the winner next Saturday. Good luck!

Thank you so much for stopping by, it was so nice to visit with you. Have a great week!

Blessings to ya, Shirl

PINK SATURDAY, 200th POST & GIVEAWAY

Hello and welcome to a very special Pink Saturday hosted by our sweet Beverly of How Sweet the Sound. Today is the 2nd Birthday of Pink Saturday's. This event ,thanks to Beverly, has been a huge success, it has been so much fun to meet all you other Pink Bloggers out there. I'm so blessed to have met you all and enjoy our little chats every week. Thank you Beverly and Congrats on your success!

Now on to some pinkness from my vacation this past week.

This pretty crazy quilt heart I picked up in an antique mall. I usually buy something from this gals booth every time I visit the mall. She is so creative and her designs just tug at your heart. The heart sets in an old bed spring which I'm not sure if I'm going to leave it in that or not. A little too primitive for my decorating.

I love how she included an old vintage photo and an old locket with pics still inside. I'm thinking about changing the pics out and putting some old ones of my Mom's.

In celebration of the Pink Saturdays 2nd Birthday and for my reaching my 200th post I've having a giveaway.

Just post a comment on this or my next post (monday) and I will enter your name in my drawing. To enter join as a follower (or already one, let me know)I will put your name in and if you link up with my giveaway with this pic I will add you in a 2nd time.

For my giveaway I'm giving the winner one of my little felt bunnies with silk ribbon embroidered trim.

Good Luck! I will draw the winner Friday evening next week and post the winner next Saturday.

Below is an adorable little pillow that I purchased in my favorite quilt shop in NJ called "City Quilts". It's saying really tugged at my heart because I so often say this myself. I always try to plant seeds of kindness along my path.

Look how sweet these 30's repo fabrics are! I'm making a block of the month quilt in my Quilt Guild and I'm using 30's repos. Love them!

A pretty little vintage sugar bowl from the Antique Mall in Burlington, NJ.
Some pretty vintage doilies from the same mall. Can't resist an embroidered basket!

In honor of my son Bob being deployed I'm doing my front porch in a patriotic theme this summer. I was thrilled to find this quilted framed flag with pink rosebuds. Although my porch in being decorated in red, white and blue this year it still has touches of pink here and there so this was perfect.

Next week I have a very special post, finally I have taken pics of my new Teatime/Cupcake Crafting Guest Bedroom.

What is behind this door? Stop back next week and see!!!!!!!!

A perfect saying for guests who will stay in this room.

Thank you so much for stopping by, it was so nice to visit with you. A big Happy Birthday To Beverly and Pink Saturday! I will be back Monday with a Blue Monday/Memorial Day post.

Blessings to ya! Shirl

PINK SATURDAY

Hello and welcome to Pink Saturday hosted by Beverly of How Sweet The Sound. If you go to visit her you can get a list of all the other participants.

Today I'm excited to show you this adorable little clothespin doll that I won as a giveaway from Erin at FairieMoon. Look how sweet her little face is, even a beauty mark. Thank you so much Erin, I will treasure her!

I made the little ribbon rose for her.


Even cute from the back!

Here she is at home in my guest bedroom hanging from my milkglass lamp.

I found this little guy on my porch this week. He looked so pretty on my chaise lounge that I had to snap a pic. I think this little guy belongs to my son, he has been coming to eat with the strays for the past week. I guess he like my Friskies better that what he gets at home. LOL

Next I have some Flea Market finds to show you. Many of the items were just a quarter. HollyHobbie plate for $2.00. I thought the tissue paper was so pretty.

This beautiful print was only a dollar, I loved it and I'm going to take it out of the frame to make a copy to use as an embroidery pattern. I think she will be beautiful embroidered. I might color it in colored pencils before I put it back into the frame.

A box of vintage cards for a dollar.

A pretty embroidered lily of the valley hankie. Crochet hook was only a quarter.

Pretty cake plates for $1.00 each.

Pretty vintage doves for fifty cents. I thought I would put them on my fabric cake boxes that I make.

Thank you so much for stopping by, it was so nice to visit with you! Have a great weekend.

Blessing to you, Shirl

Pink Saturday

Hello and welcome to Pink Saturday hosted by Beverly of How Sweet the Sound. Thank you Beverly for hosting this fun event.
I'm so happy to tell you all that last Saturday I won a giveaway from Nancy at La Chambre Rose. The plant coming from Paula at Pondalicious.
The name of this pretty plant is "Canna Pink Sunburst". Above is what it will look like in bloom. Thank you so much Nancy and Paula for this wonderful giveaway. It arrived in beautiful condition. I've ordered alot of plants over the years and this is the best condition that a plant has ever arrived to me in.


Here is my beautiful Canna happy in my yard cozied with my "Elephant Ear" plants.

As you can see in the pic below, my hollyhocks are still happy and reaching for the sky. They are now taller than my rose trellis.

This week I picked up two pretty storage boxes. This one has cupcakes and glitter and will store my fabric and trims for altered art projects.

If you click on the pic you will get a close up and be able to see the pretty glitter on the boxes.

The next pretty one is a wedding box but so pretty I had to have it. The glitter does not show up in pic but it has glitter along the white diamond grid and is sooooo sweet!

This box will hold my trims for totes, pillows and my fabric cake boxes.

Thank you so much for stopping by, have a great weekend, I'll be back on Monday for a Blue Monday post with Sally of Smiling Sally.

Pink Saturday

Hello and welcome to Pink Saturday hosted by Beverly of How Sweet the Sound. If you go to her blog you can get a list of all the other participants.
Thank you Beverly for hosting this fun event!

This week I'm posting a pic of a pillow that I made for my bedroom. I purchased this vintage image on a fabric block over a year ago on ebay and it was in my sewing basket waiting to be finished into something. I've promised myself that I'm going to get to at least one item in that basket every week.
So this week this pretty lady was the lucky one to get pulled out of there!
I added some pretty pale pink fabric, lace and millinery with a little splash of glitter and here she is!

This week I made some single hearts for my etsy shop, the one below is done in bright pinks and burgandy. I'll be listing them this weekend. I'm also working on some soft pastel colors to be listed next week.

The next one below is done using antique dusty colors.

It's not to late to get in on my giveaway, you can go down to my last Saturday post and enter a comment to be in the drawing. A few people have commented on other posts to be entered and I will try my best to go to other posts and collect names for the drawing. I will be picking the winner on the morning of March 10. If you put a link to my giveaway on your blog I will enter your name twice, just let me know if you will be doing that in case I don't get to everyone's blog.

Below is the pink silk ribbon rose heartstrings that will be given away along with a few other items listed in the picture below that.

Other items in my giveaway.

Thank you so much for stopping by! It was nice to visit with you.

Bless you, Shirl
