The Joy of Christmas, when in Pink

Nothing warms my heart more than decorating in the feminine colors for the season of Christmas. I usually use items around the home that bring me joy and dress them up with jewels, ribbons and ornaments to add sparkle and shine. Small groupings of treasures can brighten up a corner of a room with little money spent.

Treasures For The Bed and Bath

"Treasures for the bed and bath" will be displayed at the boutiques of Make Mine Pink tomorrow, Friday, October 8th. Creative decorating using vintage items help us think 'outside the box'. Above I have used a vintage cherished teapot whose lid is no where to be seen and I keep my makeup brushes, etc. on display for easy access. It brings a smile to my face when I see my teapot.

As I get ready to end my day, I draw a bath and ponder what type of herbal concoctions I can muster up with my bath selections from Switzerland. Perhaps I will do a relaxing bath of seeweed and watermelon foaming bath and add Melissa (Lemon Balm) bath essence into it for sweet dreams. Come to think of it....this is exactly what I will do.....see you later.....sweet dreams.

Show and Tell Monday Sept. 29th

Here is a litle peek at some of the precious wares I was getting ready to pack to take with me to Williamsburg for my Business Recognition Award Display. I have to tell you, I was amazed at everyone's imagination for creating their displays. There were a lot of oohs and aaahs going on in that room. Eileen of Forget Me Not Dreams was the grand prize winner. Congratulations once more Eileen!! Fabulous. For my display I wanted to create a lady's vanity as she has come home from an evening out and is preparing for sleep. I hope to show you my display picture soon. In the meantime, enjoy going to the boutiques today for Show and Tell. It is a wonderful way to begin the week.
