Pink Sewing Cloche

I have been staying at home trying to recover from this latest bug

and am starting to get a little stir crazy. I created a cloche for Marty's

Spring Cloche Party and now just can't seem to stop at one.

So ...

Here is a little pink sewing cloche. I'm just loving pink more and more!

I wish I had some pink paint out in the garage because I am

itching to paint something pink too.

Since I don't have any pink paint, I'll just have to entertain myself

by visiting some of my favorite blog parties.

I am once again joining Marty's Spring Cloche Party

Beverly's Pink Saturday

and

Laurie's Favorite Things Saturday

Bentley ~ have you seen any pink paint around here? Bentley??

He's out hunting for squirrels ~ have to ask him later.

Love,

Susan and Bentley

Pink Mini Boudoir Chair and a Giveaway!

I love miniature furniture, but I don't always find mini upholstered chairs that I like, so I decided to make my own. This is my first chair. I used a cotton fabric with tiny little pink and blue flowers. It is overstuffed for a comfy and cozy look. It would be sweet in a bedroom ...

Or any room where one would want a comfy cottage print chair. It is my November Giveaway. If you would like a chance to win this chair, please leave a comment or become a follower if you are not one already. After you do, please go visit our friend Beverly for Pink Saturday.

No Bentley, you can't sit in this chair ... it's too little. You can sit in our big wing chair with Momma.

Love,

Susan and Bentley

A Pink Botanical Saturday

Any time I see a framed botanical print in an antique shop or thrift store, I just can't pass it up.

Of course that goes for little pitchers with floral decorations too ~ and ...

Sweet little plates decorated with tiny pink roses. Thank you Beverly for being a great Pink Saturday hostess!!

Bentley is really tired tonight. Tina, our mobile groomer came by to give him a shampoo and a haircut. He is curled up next to his Daddy on the sofa and they are both sound asleep.

Love,

Susan and Bentley

A Pink Vignette

I am very pleased to be a featured blogger for this Pink Saturday. Thank you Beverly! Here is a little pink vignette for you. Pink is such a sweet and nostalgic color and it deserves a sweet vignette. Have a wonderful weekend everyone!!

Bentley ~ I'm thinking about doing some redecorating. We will be visiting the paint store. Do you want to go for a ride in the Jeep? Everyone at Home Depot loves to see you.

Love,

Susan and Bentley

Some Romantic Evening

I just love being a girl. I love vintage train cases and boudoir lamps. Silks, vintage pearls and ballerina music boxes.

Silver dancing slippers and French perfume. Photos of my Yorkies in vintage silver frames. I especially love this antique ballerina music box that my Daddy brought back from Switzerland.

Thanks for letting me indulge in my romantic dreams of things that are vintage, pink and vignette. I am participating in these fabulous parties:

Vintage Thingie Thursday

Show and Tell Friday

Vignette Friday

Simple Pleasures

Bentley ~ let's give you a bath and get you all fixed up for this evening. Bentley?? Are you hiding Bentley??

A Pink Prize for a Pink Saturday

Yesterday I was so very excited to open a box from my dear friend Cynthia of Cynthia's Cottage Design. Inside was this beautiful Old English Rose tea cup and saucer by Royal Albert. I won it on Cynthia's newest blog The Petite Villa. This new blog is all about her miniatures. I adore miniatures and if you like them too you must visit her new site. It is absolutely charming and delightful!! She also has an etsy shop filled with her creations. Of course her timing was perfect so that I could share this sweet cup and saucer for Pink Saturday.

I love a hot cup of tea and will be enjoying the lovely pink roses each time I brew a cup. Now brew a cup of tea, or pour yourself a cup of coffee and head on over to visit our dear friend Beverly for more Pink Saturday posts!

What is that Bentley? You think you would like a cup of tea? But sweetie, doggies don't drink tea. How about a fresh bowl of water and a biscuit instead?

Love,

Susan and Bentley

Pink Quilts

It was a wonderful sunny afternoon in Idaho ~ just perfect for hanging some quilts on the line.

The sun and our fresh air makes the quilts smell fresh and clean. There is nothing like a cozy quilt to cuddle up in on a crisp, cool fall evening ... especially one that's pink and one with touches of pink!

Beverly has more pink touches for us this Pink Saturday. Be sure to pick up the link and check it out!

Bentley ... are you ready to play the making the bed game??

Love,

Susan and Bentley

A Sad Day in Our History

September 11, 2010 is a day few of us will ever forget. Approximately 2996 lives were lost on that day when our nation was attacked. How many tears were shed on that day and how many tears have been shed since for loved ones who were lost?

In honor of those who lost their lives, I dedicate this post to their memory. I believe that Beverly and others will be posting special tributes as well. Please no compliments on this post. If you would like to share your feelings about this tragic event, I am happy to read them. I love this country so very much. I never want to see this happen to our nation again.

Love,

Susan and Bentley

Pink Angels for a Miracle Pink Saturday

Today I am participating in a very special Miracle Pink Saturday Party to celebrate Colette Gauthier's miracle. I am linking up with Kelee at Katillac Shack , Beverly at How Sweet the Sound and Sherry at Country Wings in Phoenix. Please go to their sites and read about Colette's story of healing. Here are some vintage angels in gowns with pink ruffled edges. They are a reminder to us all that angels watch over each of us.

As a young child, I became very ill. I was suffering from pneumonia and although I was given large doses of antibiotic, my body was not responding. The doctors told my parents to prepare to lose me. I drifted out of my body and remember seeing my parents and the doctors below me. I tried to let them know that I was fine, but they could not hear me. My little body was just a shell.

Our souls are what matters. There is so much more to our Lord's Kingdom than what we can see from our bodies. We are here to love one another and to love and honor Him. When we do, miracles occur. Colette's story is a reminder of the power we have when we work for others in His name. Please visit another angel, my dear friend Erin of The Painted Garden. She donated a one of her lovely paintings for Colette's room planned by Kelee and her design crew. You can have a chance to win one of Erin's paintings when you visit Kelee at the Katillac Shack. By the way, Erin has a dog named Bentley too!!

With Love and God's Blessings,

Susan and Bentley

Pink Ladies and a Gentleman

These figurines belonged to my Grandmother. They are not important pieces, but to me they are treasures because Grandma loved them!

Pink Saturday Gone Postal!

It has been so hot here for the last couple of weeks. The only thing that looks good in my garden right now are the Pink Impatiens around my mail box!

I'm posting a bit early for Pink Saturday because I will be working all day tomorrow ... so it's early to bed for me. While I am busy working, the rest of you can stop by with your morning coffee and visit our friend Beverly for Pink Saturday #? at her popular blog How Sweet the Sound.

Okay Bentley, grab your little teddy and lets get to sleep soon!!

Love,

Susan and Bentley

Pink Vintage Goodies!

Yes, I'm still browsing around the antique store. I just had to share a few pink vintage goodies with you. Here is a charming little dish with a lovely single pink rose.

A sweet vintage bridge set. For those of you who don't play bridge, just think of it as a lovely pink and white cloth with four cute napkins.

I believe that these little boxes were once given as birthday gifts and were later used to store hankies. Is that right??

Finally, just some random cute pink accents. That's it for this Pink Saturday. Beverly has so many participants that you are sure to find something that will tickle you pink! That's a bit corny I know, but I'm working on my delivery!! Head on over to visit Beverly at How Sweet the Sound for some pink frivolity!!

What do you think Bentley?? Was that any better or do I still sound corny?? Bentley??

I think I put him to sleep.

Love,

Susan and Bentley
