Making Way for The New on Pink Friday!

Making way for the new!
Don't you just love the first week of January? All the holiday trimmings are stored away, the gifts are in use or proudly displayed, our houses are freshly cleaned and organized and all the proper pillows are back on the sofa.But wait- there is something, just a little something, nagging at us. Yes, time for a quick change here or there. Maybe new pillows will make that sofa more inviting; a new rug to give the room a quick pick-me-up; some different everyday dishes would perk up the kitchen: fresh sent of a new potpourri will welcome us home each day. Well that is it the wonder of the New Year, we see everything anew. The Boutiques at Make Mine Pink are experiencing the same thing. We love everything we offer in our boutiques, (our merchandise is gorgeous) - but it is time for us to straighten up the shelves a bit, look at everything with new eyes, and refresh our stock. So we are celebrating this PINK Friday with a special "Making Way for the New" shopping event. Don't be fooled by our fabulous sales, this is not old, dusty, unwanted stock. It is our usual beautiful and unique merchandise! We just need it to go to a new home so that we can stock our shelves with new and even more exciting merchandise for the new year. Don't miss this once a year event! Friday, January 9th at Make Mine Pink! Please join us for PINK FRIDAY at Make Mine Pink on Friday January 9th. The boutiques at Make Mine Pink are pleased to present "Making Way For The New!" The Polka Dot Rose will be offering 50% off all items under Pink Friday.

The New Year 2009

Happy New Year! 2009! A year of new beginnings. New Year's Eve we had a snow fall and I captured these pictures from my back door. Signs of my Summer days on the courtyard now covered in Winter White. Sparkling; clean. Covered with a snow blanket from above. Now, I cannot tell a lie. I do not care for the cold Winter months and prefer Summer (ssshhhh). But, give me a camera as the snow falls, in my pjs, in my warm, cozy home with no place to go, and I will see all the beauty Winter has to offer me. Wishing you all a wonderful blessed New Year filled with everyday joys.

Hanging Out amidst the Roses

I love my romantic bedroom. Most days I have difficulty making my bed. All my bedding is done in roses. My cats are all boys. They love to snuggle into the 'rose bed' every chance they get. I always wished I had my camera near to capture their ability to keep me from making the bed. Now I tell you, could you move this "Little Guy"? I just go away to another chore and let him rest amongst the roses. Sweet dreams Little Guy.

It's Christmas at Pink Friday!

Ho Ho Ho....It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas, especially at the boutiques at Make Mine Pink (www.makeminepink.com). Get out your lists and check them twice. Be sure to see who has been naughty or nice. Free Gift Wrapping. Orders can be sent to you or directly to your gift receipient with a lovely gift card. My pleasure.

Two New Ladies Came to Town

Meet "Grace" and "Allison", the new ladies who will be joining the others at "If the Shoe Fits...Altered Art for Cinderella Dreams" that can be found at my boutique, The Polka Dot Rose and on my Little Pink Boutique at Make Mine Pink (http://www.makeminepink.com/). Each lovely shoe comes with it's own personality. Dripping with vintage lace, jewelry, embellishments, flowers, and much more. I have to say I get quite attached to each of them. I can see these as a gift for a bridal attendant or at a shower table display. Some of my "Cinderella Dreams" have a beautiful silk rose hand made by our very own Erica of Meadow Street (www.meadowstreet.com). Most of the shoes come with rose pins or bling that can be actually taken off and worn. Enjoy seeing all the offerings at the boutiques at Make Mine Pink. Enjoy!
