PINK SATURDAY & CHRISTMAS PART 3

Hello and welcome to Pink Saturday hosted by Beverly of How Sweet the Sound. Today I thought I would show you some more of my Christmas decorating in my bedroom since I have alot of pink in there.
First I have to show you this old piano that was given to us by my husbands family. We were the only ones in the family that liked antiques so we were given most of the family heirlooms. This was cherry but I gave it a shabby cottage redo!

Next I have to show you the fireplace mantel in my bedroom. It was cherry also, I like it much better in white.

The God Is Love over the matel was stitched by my dear friend Pat who passed away of cancer about 14 years ago.

The two Betsy Clark candles were my Mother's I love them and put them out every year. I bought them for her when I first got married.

Some glitter words that I made this week. Dream and Noel.

A little tussie that I made this week. I love aqua and pink together! When I was little I used to color all my sky's in these two colors. LOL

A window in my bedroom, I'm planning on getting new curtains after I wallpaper and wainscote my walls. Just not sure what I want.

The porch outside this window we have plans of making it into a four seasons sunroom.

A closeup of the tieback swag.

I got this pretty frame in Kohl's last year and put a vintage print in it.

Now on to one of my bathrooms. This room is aqua with touches of pink.

The little Goebel angels were my Mom's.

A little banner that I made this week.

That's it for pink, I'd thought I'd show you a little more of my decorating. The pic below is in my living room.

A tree topper in a candlestick. I got this idea from a Christopher Radko book.

Below was my Mother's Nativity by Goebel that she had started collecting just before she passed away. Perhaps one day I will add to it.

Christmas pillows on my couch.

I borrowed this idea from my friend Celeste to hang an ornament from a lampshade. I was hanging them from the lampswitch. I like her idea much better. Thank you Celeste for the great idea!

I could not figure out what the spots were on the sampler, then I realized it was the glare of christmas tree lights.

Last this week is a picture of a three tier wood stand with houses and bottlebrush trees. This is in one of my guest bedrooms.

Thank you so much for stopping by. I'm still not finished with my decorating so I will be putting more pics up in the next few days. Thank you so much for stopping by.

Blessings, Shirl

TEA PARTY

Hello and welcome to my "Tea Party" hosted by "Jan & Tom's Place", be sure to stop by their blog to get a list of all the participates.


Come on in I was just relaxing on the lounge chair reading and do some needlework. So glad you could make it! I thought we would have tea on the porch, it's such a beautiful day today. Please feel free to click on the pics and see a larger pic.

Have a seat and I will get the tea!

The pretty journal and Bless This Nest basket came from my PRH sister Rhea from Miss Rhea's.

Have you ever had pie crust cookies? They are so light and crisp with cinnamon sugar, so yummy!

Or maybe some lemon iced sugar cookies. The pretty rose plate that the lemon cookies are on came from my sweet friend Steph of Angelic Accents. She has wonderful Flea Market Fridays.

How about a slice of chocolate cake with pretty pansies?

Maybe some nice sweet grapes?

A bears tea party done in cross stitch.

There's more room over here at the ice cream palor table.

My sister Elizabeth from Rose Hart Gifts sent me this pretty tea set. It's my favorite one!

The pretty little rose plate below I got from my sweet friend Steph from Angelic Accents.

My daughter Jen from Jen's Petal Palace painted this cake board.

I made this tea-time wreath just in time for my tea party.

Pretty pink roses, my favorite.

Now look at this silly cat, this is Bentley, he is enjoying the sunny day! He's my baby!

Let's take a walk around and see what's in bloom. This is the first year that my hydrangea bloomed. I don't have any luck with the blue one's. I have some but they don't bloom. Too cold here I guess.

I love black eyed susans and just planted some blue love in a mist with them. Hopefully next year they will bloom together.

Hosta's are just now starting to bloom. You can see their spikes shooting up.

Eventually this will be all paths and garden areas. Two seating areas one with
Adirondack chairs and another with a porch swing.

Thank you so much for stopping by. I hope you enjoyed my little tea party! Please come back again. Thank you to Jan & Tom's Place for hosting this tea party, it was fun!

Blessings, Shirl
