Take a load off Annie...
I have a confession...I have been junk haulin treasure hunting ALL day!
This means I have found some seriously cool treasures, but it means my house is in a shambles! GIGGLE~ I promise you I am trying to pull it all back together, but I am distracted...
do you ever clean and redecorate at the same time?
I decided to take a load off Annie. SHEW... lets enjoy some pinks and a late cup of coffee...
I am redecorating my living room with more white and sprinkles of pink...
A close up of my pretty pink rose clippy nestled in between these oh so fabulous to die for old French white metal statues...Ahhh imagine my delight and twinkling of my toes when I found these two goodies...
This display is in my living room I added this vintage window and topped it with a really pretty OLD shabby platter...
I found this platter at one of my favorite thrift stores, they only charged me .50 cents... I thought "oh cheap" it must not be worth anything...imagine my surprise to find out it is really old and pretty valuable...
Well, Happy Pink Saturday my sweets...my little people need me and well my house will have to get some love later...
Squishy pink hugs to Beverly for letting all of us pinkies come together.

Hi Olivia, I love your statues too and your pictures! I finally got a picture up on my blog worthy of pink myself! You will have to let me know what you think. I've been so inspired by you and My Romantic Home, that I'm going to start posting pictures of pretty things in my house too. They are romantic in a more rustic sense. I collect antiques and love them!
ReplyDeleteThrift stores are wonderful! I just got two bulletin boards and two prints to re-do my sewing room!
Good job on the cheap find! It pays to check out the back doesn't it?
HAPPY BELATED PINK SATURDAY OLIVIA,
ReplyDeleteI THOUGHT I HAD ALREADY POSTED TO YOU LAST NIGHT BUT I GUESS I DID NOT. I WAS HAVING FITS WITH BLOGGER LETTING ME POST. ONE OF MY BLOGGING FRIENDS SAID TO EMPTY MY CACHE/COOKIES AND IT LET ME POST AFTER THAT...SILLY COMPUTERS.
YOUR POST IS STUNNING YOUR MIRRORS, THE STATUES, WHAT BEAUTIFUL TASTE AND AN EYE FOR DESIGN YOU HAVE. YOUR THANK YOU FOR THE PRECIOUS TEAPOT WILL BE MAILED MONDAY.
HAVE A BEAUTIFUL WEEK.
HUGS
DEBBIE
Happy Pinkness to you, I love your finds... you have an eye for this and what a deal~ Is it Haviland Limoge?
ReplyDeleteHope your day is blessed and you have a good week ahead.
Love the chippiness of your window in this vignette. The statues were a find and I love the floral plates. :-) Sue
ReplyDeleteI just wanted to say Hello and Thank You for the nice comment on my blog! Your blog is so soft and pretty, with wonderful "stuff"!! I chuckled out loud over your clean and re-decorate comment. I too, am guilty as charged!! Your home is beautiful, and I am sure you are making many happy memories for your little one there!
ReplyDeleteHELLO SWEET OLIVIA....
ReplyDeleteSORRY IM LATE FOR PINK SATURDAY, I WAS BUSY WITH MY PARISH, BUT OHHHH MY HOW BEAUTIFUL IS THAT PINK PLATTER!!! WHAT A SCORE WOOOO HOOOO AND YIPPPEEEE FOR YOU :)HUGS TO YOUR MY SWEET BLOGGY FRIEND~MARI
Love the statues! The platter for 50 cents! That's my kind of deal!
ReplyDeleteOlivia, thanks for the sweet comment...did you get a new background? I love it!!
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I had not yet posted the wedding song I wrote for dear hubby when you visited and thought you might like to hear it. I wondered if My Romantic Home will let me submit a song about love as a submission for show and tell. It does 'beautify' my home so it ought to count. :o) I plan to ask, anyway. You are such a sweet encouraging person. Thanks!
