pink saturday #2 and a gift tag giveaway


Happy Pink Saturday and Happy Spring! My blog is full of so much pink that I thought I'd share something from an older post and a couple from recent ones too.


I was visiting my mom a month ago and found her old sewing box. I took a few pics including this collection of pink items. Going through her sewing box was one of my favorite things to do. It was fun to find things again that I haven't seen in ages.


I rainy day trip to Target last week. I wish these came in my size!


This is from a recent post but I had to include it. Luna checks out my latest thrift store find. This set of pink melamine cups were just 2.98

And here is my Pink Saturday giveaway!
"4 dresses from Mademoiselle Amelie's trunk"

These oversize gift tags are 3 3/4in x 5in. They are handmade by me from scrapbook paper, tissue flowers and my favorite thrift store raspberry ribbon. I embellished the dresses which are from a gift bag from my collection. Use for wedding, birthday, mother's day, or any special day. Label your own pretty things or decorate your favorite creative space.









If you would like to enter just leave a comment on this post and
mention that you're entering the giveaway.

You don't have to become a follower but I would love it if you do! I'll leave the contest open for a week and announce the winner on Saturday the 27th. I'll use a random generator to choose the winner next Friday night. Happy Pink!

'soar' gift tag garland banner


Another fun banner I'm working on. I couldn't find ready made letters I like so I made these from a font on my computer. I love the word 'soar'. I thought of letting your creative voice sing and taking flight.



Each letter has mini wings. A little girly, a little vintage with a wee bit of an edge.
The organza ribbon was a thrift shop find.

thrifty finds


Went to visit my favorite thrift shop today and found a couple of great deals. Of course the ever curious Miss Luna had to check everything out to see if they met her approval.  The set of blush pink melamine teacups were 2.98 and a package of odds and ends that included the paper and crochet doilies and a few rolls of ribbon that I forgot to put in the pic were .99 cents. (I'm thinking tea party props!) It was worth it for the paper doilies alone which were nicer than the ones I've seen at the party store and even came pre-aged! Best buy was the Tracy Porter decorating book for 2.98.


Crunch, crunch! Better than that silly bunny's ear!


I'll take this one then!
