Have to share...

...this very cute photo of a pup named Tallulah who is owned by June of one of my favorite blogs, Bye Bye, Pie! Ain't she sweet?

Pink Saturday..already!!

Boy, they creep up on you fast!! Ha! I thought I might do something a little different this week and post Pink goodies that I would love to have instead of one's that I DO have!!


Isn't this the sweetest thing you've ever seen? And I don't even have a pink kitchen! When I see something this cute I wish that I did, but I DO love my red and turquoise kitchen a lot! You'll find it in this shop on Etsy.

Then there's these beauties...

on Ebay, here.

How about this cute nursery scale? You'll find it in this shop.

I ADORE this cute cup!!! Find it here.


If you're into Mid-century Modern, check out these incredible lamps on Ebay!! WOWEE!!

Another giveaway...

Kimberly at Bitty Bits and Pieces is having an awesome 100th post giveaway! She has some awesome goodies, so go leave a comment!!

Word verifications...

(Gratuitous photo: Nothing to do with anything. I just think every post needs a photo. Silly, I know, but what the heck)

Blogger has this little thingy where you have to put in the jumbled letters of a word to post a comment on blogs that have it enabled. Not a problem. What I've noticed lately is that sometimes they look to be pseudo-words. Sometimes they're pretty funny. Here are some I encountered just this evening while commenting on some Pink Saturday posts.

Fation: The clothing trends of the USA?

Untly: He couldn't go to the bar untly found his lost car keys.

Absests: I have an absests on my bum.

Eminted: Eminted himself some brand new quarters.

Remaryal: Come on down to the church and I'll remaryal.

Yes, I have too much time on my hands.

Pink Saturday! (I'm late)

I usually have my PS post up by 5 am. Oops! My contribution for today is Miss Polly Pinkpiggy. Another one of my thrift store finds. You can find out how I came to possess her in this post.

Here she is with her friends Edith and Irene the Lambiepie twins. Edith has the pink rose dress, and Irene has the blue dress with little pink flowers. Told you I loved dressed up farm animals! I will show my dressy cow collection at a later date :-)

Click on the little pink china doll at the top of this post to take you to Beverly's blog. She has the list of 100's of blogs to visit to savor pink goodness!!!

Fabric Family and Fun is having an incredible giveaway! Hop on over to her website and comment for a chance to win fabric lovelies!

New car...

1995 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo. It's 14 years old, but it's a one-owner, immaculate car and we got a smokin' deal on it! I'm jazzed!!!

I found a photo of this incredible felt pincushion somewhere in my travels around the WWW and saved it so I could occasionally gaze at it's loveliness. Looks good enough to eat!! I can't remember where I found it or who made it, so if anyone knows I will happily give credit where credit is due!!

Pass this award around....

Isabella at Isabellas Closet has this to say: "Weeks ago I designed this little "Smile award" button. My plan was to give it to you Guys & Gals in blog land who make me smile. There are so many. Now instead I just want you to take this "Smile award" & pass it around. Give it to blogs that make you smile, Guys or Gals who make you smile.. whatever whoever."

What a nice thought! So, if you're here reading Llyn M, and you are smiling, take this cute award for your very own and PASS IT AROUND!!!

A replacement...

Since I gave my plastic bag holder away in my 200th Post Giveaway, I decided to make a new one. Hand stitched in front of the TV watching a movie. Ah, soothing handwork!! MUCH preferred over the machine! This one is also made from a vintage tea towel. Cute pattern, eh??

I gotta have her!!

She's from Boyds Bears! Isn't she loverly???

Gotta admit that this is one is pretty dang cute too, and I'm not even a bear fan!! I'm partial to dressed up farm animals. Go figure :-)

Cottage loveliness...

Happened upon this website by chance. It is filled with the most delicious, romantic, frilly goodness! This lady has outdone herself! The site intro page is a feast for the eyes (and ears!) in itself!! Be prepared to spend some time there!!!

Slackin'...

A week without a post and here it is PINK SATURDAY again! Here are my contributions for this week.

Found this adorable necklace holder at an antique mall. I don't think she's even vintage, but I love her. I so needed someplace for my necklaces so they wouldn't constantly be tangled! Her skirt is made of long fringe and beads. So pretty!!

While we were taking down holidays decos, I was thinking of maybe next year putting a small tree in my studio with a pink and turquoise theme to match the studio decor. That very same day we had to go to ~shudder~ Wal-mart for kitty litter, and managed to hit the 75% day for holiday stuff. While MDH sttod in the mile long line to check out, I wandered a bit and happened upon this...

a 4' tall, pre-lit PINK tree for $5.00!!! It went in the cart so fast MDH didn't know what had hit him! Thank goodness he indulges me!!

I'd also like to add that Sondra at The Many Shades of Pink has monthly contests for you to enter..all PINK related!! What fun!!

Pink Saturday.....

I love LOLCATS! What a cool Princess chair!

Here's a not-so-cool chair. This is so NOT the color I was going for. Ack! So now I have to figure out what to do with it besides re-painting the entire thing. Any suggestions?
