Oh my sweet and dear girlies....I hope you've been having a wonderful week.
Lots going on here at the cottage. I'm actually making some progress on the den. It's small stuff, but any progress is great in my book.....so I'm THRILLED....
I think you're going to LOVE this little tour. My precious daughter has such a way of setting up her little vignettes.........she loves to do it and it shows! She is such a special girl....totally delightful, and funny....oh my.....she's REALLY funny........hilarious, in fact. :-)
She sort of takes after me in the collecting department. Yeah, she's not a minimalist either....empty spots? Oh heavens no! :-)
There's a little picture of my dad.....see him in his uniform??......Quite a long time ago I shared a picture of this darling girl with my dad. She was CRAZY about her grandpa and he was totally taken with her. It was wonderful to see........so sweet.After my Mum's funeral we went to the graveside.....just my girl and I....My Mum is buried next to my dad. Those dice were on his grave. We have no idea how they got there. How strange. Anyway......we saved them....
We both collect these pictures..........they're called "The Light Of The World" by C. Bosseron Chambers. We both realize that one is probably enough, but we both have LOADS of them...They're so precious, aren't they?
My girl adds a little do-dad to nearly everything....a flower, ribbon, bow....tassel, whatever. She loves adornments. Me too! :-) She's MUCH better at it than I am.
My daughter's house is quite old....I think it was built in the 20's. It's DELISH!She has this little faux fireplace.....original to the house........it had one of those little niches where the mirror is. For years I suggested a mantle there and something large to cover the hole. She wasn't too keen on the idea, but one day she relented. I built it for her and it's one of her favorite things to decorate. I don't think she could fit another thing on it. I LOVE all of her pretties and look at them every time I visit.
The little banner is hard to see, but it says F.L.O.W.E.R.S
Several years ago Pottery Barn had a vintage wooden folding yardstick fashioned into a crown. We were all over that and both did one....see it standing up behind the crown picture? Yes...crowns are the theme....and she IS a princess. The cranberry glass belonged to my Mum and that's her in the tiny, round frame in front of it.You can see the reflection of her old light fixture in the mirror. It belonged to her husband's grandmother.
This shelf looks much brighter than it is...it's actually a very pale robin's egg blue....I made it for them when they bought the house.Her little pup is a Westie (Trixie Belle), so she collects vintage Westie things.......
I hope you've enjoyed the little tour. I'll take more pix so I can show you more. Doesn't she have a knack for display?From the time she was just a little girl I put YMLY on EVERYTHING for her...her lunch sacks, notes, handmade items.........it means "Your Mama loves you"....
So............Sweet girl............YMLY!
I am so blessed and couldn't have asked for more.
Now, I know you're just itchin' to see more lovely pinks, right?

She's asked that we actually link to the Pink Saturday post, but I can't figure out how to do it. I'm sorry. :-(
Have a wonderful weekend darling girlies!
God bless you!
Huggies and Lovies,
Spencer
