Make Mine Pink Mini Retreat on Cape Cod

These pictures were taken in the enchanted garden outside HorseFeathers Antique Shop. Ask anyone who went there....it was stepping into a dream.

These two pictures are of a sweet little cottage right next door to our beach homestead.

Here is our wonderful "Main house" which overlooks the beautiful water and leads us down to the beach. Look at those views!

I will be posting more pictures once MB is back from traveling and posts some of hers. I don't want to interfere with guessing who the covered up "creature" is on the beach game! I wonder who it is......

Here are pictures of the adorable cottage bedroom suite! I slept like a log every night!

Fluffy towels, spa socks and cameo rose soaps awaited us upon arrival. Oooh lala!

Stay tuned for more pics from all of us. We had a grand time. When you are with Pinkies, life is blissful.

Pink Friday is In the Hope Chest

Everyone ususally has hope chest memories. I grew up with my Mom's hopechest (which she received from her parents), holding cherished possessions: her dear Mom's blue lace dress from their 50th wedding anniversary. My own Mom's wedding dress was there. One of my dresses as a two year old (I still have that!); and other items which were kept in a safe place from the moths season to season. It was that very hope chest I started putting my "when I marry the man" treasures into. It is when I began my collection for Fenton hobnail milkglass. Then once I became engaged, the engagement gifts went into the hopechest. It was brimming with hope, dreams and wishes. My sister Nancy is the keeper of Mom's hopechest. Each daughter took one of Mom's most cherished possessions. I, luckily, have two. My Mom's antique pitcher and bowl set; her most loved marble table. What makes them so valuable? Her love for her treasures. My memories of her love for them.
Last year after one of my dear Aunties passed on, we were blessed to be a part of going through her hopechest with my cousin. It was like sacred territory to me. To see all the goodies my aunt just could not part with; projects started with hope to be finished someday; linens, yarns; fabrics, etc. I came home with some of my Aunt's gems for enjoyment in my own home.
