Shabby Pink Tea Party Delight

  Hello sweet friends!

This darling basket is so pretty, soft and fluffed up and perfect for my new shabby shelf!

I thought it looked cute by this little tea cup candle light!

 I got Mr. Romantic to agree  ~convinced him I had to keep it~to haul in the prettiest shabby display shelf!

My Pink Hunk of Junk

We were driving by my favorite resale shop when I braked for a piece of rusty crusty metal. My son said..." Mom what are you going to do with that old hunk of junk" ?

Paint it pink of course!

Add some roses and a little Parsian flair!

Wal-Mart has spray paint on sale for $2.67!

I love sales!

Have a lovely and blessed day!

Pink Fluffy Ruffle Basket!

 Happy Pink Saturday Darling!

A piece of eye candy for the lovers of flouff!

The sweetest fluffy ruffle lacey basket...

lined with my favorite shabby fabric and topped with a gorgeous bow! Yummy!

I am still hopelessly in love with anything lacey, pink and romantic!

Perfect filled with pretty pink chocolates or Shabby ornaments!

I put it in my shop but it looks so gorgeous on my pretty french table! Thank you so much for stopping by!

Happy Pink Saturday!

Fabulous Free Shabby Pine cone Ornaments!

My little Fairy Princess and I decided to 

pick up pine cones outside of her preschool. 

I just knew I wanted to paint and pretty 

them up and who can resist FREE!

I made these last year but I hand painted each one! 

This year I got a little smarter and decided to dip them using a large plastic storage container.

How to make painted pine cone Ornaments!

 Put about 2 cups of paint in a large container.

Add 6 pine cones. Slowly move your container upside down a couple of times. Pine cones should be mostly covered. Remove with tongs and gently shake pine cones to get out excess paint. Turn pine cones as you let them dry, move to a new sheet of wax paper if there is alot of extra paint. Once dry add fabulous glitter, lace, vintage baubles and ribbon to the top to make a gorgeous ornament!

These are a little messy but the end result is well worth it, they look so cute in a pretty tea cup!

 Have fun and please send me pictures if you try this and I will feature you on my blog!

Check out my new Etsy Shop for more gorgeous items to fluff up your home!

Pretty Rose Tea Cup Candle Light!

 Hello! I have been creating up a storm...
I am so delighted with how gorgeous this little tea cup light turned out!

 

It was a tad cool today, so my little princess and I stayed indoors.

She painted little wood cut outs that you get for peanuts at Michael's and I created Shabby Rose Treasures! 

The teacup I used is one of my favorites!

Such gorgeous roses!

 The perfect addition to my living room!

I cannot wait to show you the rest of my gorgeous fluffy creations!

Darling Tea Time Sign!

Ooh La La!

I just have to share with you my 

sweet Tea Time sign!

I set her on a background of vintage music paper.

Her hat is embellished with beautiful silk and clay roses.

 I used bridal lace and tulle bows for maximum fluff appeal!

She is all ready for tea time hanging on my Shabby Cupboard...

 Now I have to get back to my real tea party with my little ones!

Hugs,

Shabby Pink Poodles!

Happy Pink Saturday!

Who's that doggie in the window? 

The one with the waggley tail,

 RUFF! RUFF!

Who's that doggie in the window...

I do hope that doggies for sale.

RUFF! RUFF! 

(My mom used to sing us this song) 

Giggle!

 I adopted two pink poodles from the resale shop this week! 

Who could resist these two cuties!!

They came ready to make a home in my freshly painted Shabby Cabinet!

Happy Pink Saturday my sweet friends!

Fabulous Shabby Bench Makeover!

Who can resist a Shabby Makeover story?

Especially when it turns out this stinkin cute...

The kids have been using this little bench in the middle of the living room to sit on,

the color of the original fabric has been driving me crazy

the original fabric was all spotted up and not fabulous....

Sooooo, I just had to fluff it up with this sweet shabby fabric

and some added vintage trim...

The stool came out a little artsy looking but it floats my boat and that's all that matters!

I found the pretty fabric flopped in a throw away thrift store box

 it was originally a dust ruffle but was torn in several places

I just knew it would be fabulous for something!

Now when the kids drag this bench around the living room if it gets left out,

at least it is interesting to look at...

I am partying with the 

Shabby Chic Cottage for transformation Thursday
