Happy Pink Saturday Girlies!

Happy Pink Saturday! Loads more fun from all the other great posters at
www.howsweetthesound.typepad.com.

Miss Beverly hosts this event every week.....it just keeps getting bigger and bigger....grab your morning cuppa and have some fun! :-)

I've switched things around a bit since these snaps were taken....but still, it's pink, right!!!!??

I LOVE that pink cabinet. Nobody else in my family likes it, but what the heck, it was only 25 dollars and makes me really happy. It started life as a yukky, dirty white, but a nice coat (really about a zillion) of pink paint and it was transformed. It had disgusting pulls and none of the new ones fit the hole space, so let's just bend some old spoons.....it worked! And, it makes that little cupboard sort of zippy, don't you think? It holds sooooo much stuff! It's amazing. And, it's right there by the table, so it's easy when we entertain....



Have I shown you this picture before? I can't remember......I just know I'm pooped and I can't remember anything right now....so, if I'm cheating I'm sorry!



The little vignette from the entry table....I love things that contain a lot of little "stuff"... :-)



My dearest, darling hubbs bought the teapot for me as a Christmas gift several years ago...and I LOVE old teacups. I gave about 10 sets to my daughter...do I really need all of them?? :-)




I've had the old Language of Flowers book for a long time, but I still love it....it used to have a nice cover on it....and MORE teacups. Gotta love a nice stack of them. The bottom cup is Shelley...isn't it cute? I got it for a buck at the thrift store because it didn't have a saucer. I didn't care.....it was way too cute to pass up.

And, of course, the little shelf started life as a natural wood piece....YUK! Nothing like some paint to fix it up!


Now, you've probably already seen this hot tip here in Blogville....but here's a free treat for you!

Go here:

www.glidden.com/index.do

And, they'll send you a FREE quart of paint in your choice of colors! It's eggshell finish, so it would be perfect to re-paint a bit of furniture!

It's freeeeee!!!!!!!! You can't lose here!

I hope you have a wonderful weekend and that you enjoy some special time with your family. Time flies, you know!

God bless you alllllllll super abundantly!

Hugs!
Spence

  12. Lovin' all the pink Spencer! And...

    I LOVE THAT CABINET! My ENTIRE family use to raze me about pink. When my home landed in Romantic Homes Magazine they all shut up (to be blunt about it!). Each his own! Right?

    I love that painted floor cloth! That's a keeper!

  21. What absolutley beautiful PiNks! I LOVE that PiNk cabinet!

    I have to chuckle, I saw that ad on TV and immediately logged on to Glidden and everyone else must have too b/c it took forever to get on! You have to purchase a can of paint in order to get your freebie :) which is okay as we are in the process of redoing our master bed/bathroom!

    Have a fab PiNk SaTuRdAy! :) Marsha

  36. Well, I am in agreement with you- I love the pink cabinet and its silverware for pulls! too clever, my friend. The vignette in the entry is so sweet, too. As usual, everything pink is so spectacular when I come to visit. I'm glad you like my new blog header. I played forever getting the entire thing put into a stretch template. Had to do a test blog so I could change computer codes. what fun! Enjoy your week and take it easy- baby, it's hot outside! Hugs, Sue

  37. Spencer, You are so clever to make the spoons into handles for that cabinet-MUCH more interesting than normal handles. OOOO those tea cups and plates are so pretty! Love the way you stacked the two cups. laurie

  39. I don't mind a repeat, I wake in a new world every day...I'm a Dory you know...from finding Nemo.
    Love the pink cabinet and maybe, who knows, it may grow on others as they pass by time and again.
    Happy Days,
