MARIE ANTOINETTE CROWN

My gorgeous crown from my secret Swap Partner Cassi arrived two days ago. I thought I would share her amazing talent with all of you on this lovely Pink Saturday post.

Not only is this crown beautiful, the details are gorgeous. Stunning fabric, silk ribbons, aqua lace, roses, vintage rhinestone jewelry, pearls and glitter. Now seriously, could you ask for a more perfect crown? The absolutely best, best, part is that it fits my tiny head perfectly. I don't know how she managed it 'cause I never can, but I placed it atop my head and it doesn't even barely fall off. I'm definitely wearing this while I clean the house!

Thank you Cassi! I adore my stunning, Marie Antoinette Crown.

Just when you think to yourself "Does what I do really matter"... one of these amazing emails drops in your In Box and you are forever grateful.

This one arrived today, so I am going to share it with all my treasured friends. BTW, I finally went to the dr. today to get some medicine to kick this terrible flu to the curb. I expect to be well in the morning! lol

Dear Cathy,

Thank you... thank you so very much. My first look at your pink cottage and the items you sell have changed my life and home.

I had lived in a 70's ranch for 32 years (red shag carpet and dark colors). After seeing what could be possible, my fantastic handyman and I will be working together in the next week or so to begin building my dream cottage in my backyard. I've been collecting furnishings for the past months (already have 5 plastics totes full plus a box and a huge stack of pillows) and will have lumber within a week.

I've saved the pix of your cottage plus a large notebook of ideas for painting and decorating this "Big Girl" playhouse. I can hardly wait. Hopefully, I will chronicle the construction, decoration, and enjoyment of my fairy rose cottage through photos.

Thank you again for all of your inspiration.

IT'S PINK SATURDAY!!!!!

I am still down and out with this terrible cold, but am feeling much better. I wanted to get lots and lots of photos for today's Pink Event, but just didn't have the umph in me to take more than a couple.

Here are some pics of my "finished" parasol from the
Petticoats & Parasols Art Event in Savannah.

And this is the "Cupcake Fairy" Crown I made to wear on vendor night.
Hope you enjoy these few pics.

Hope you all have a great weekend.

May Day Tussie Mussie Swap

Sweet Linda from "A Swap for All Seasons" had an awesome "May Day Tussie Mussie" swap. My partner was one of my dear friends "Dolly" ~ "FromMyCherryHeart". Dolly and I have know each other for several years. As a matter of fact one of her amazing pink boxes with a cherry painted on it has been part of my kitchen decor for at least two years now. If you want one like it, you should visit her Etsy shop. She does stunning work and her items creations are painted with a lot of love and talent.

I have to apologize for being so late in posting the special swap treasures Dolly sent me, as I have not been well. I took the photos when my box first arrived. I did my best, but I have taken much better photos before. I hope Dolly forgives me for not showing off her talent in the best light possible.
Here are a few photos of what I received from sweet Dolly.

My favorite item other than my lovely tussie was the miniature oil painting of my "Pink Fairy Cottage". Isn't it perfect?

Thank you Dolly for all your wonderful treasures and your generosity! I love it all! xo Cathy

Petticoats & Parasols
Art Event in Savannah

I'm home from my awesome trip to the Petticoats and Parasols Art Event in Savannah but not feeling very well. Please know that I will respond to all your lovely blog comments and upload photos of this wonderful event over the next week or so. Right now I have hives to deal with! Yikes. Don't know what is happening to my little ole body, but it's not cooperating. So I'm back to bed.

Have a great week everyone!

LOTS OF LOVE ALL THE WAY FROM AUSTRALIA
and I'm off to SAVANNAH

Tomorrow I am on my way to the "Petticoats and Parasols" Art Event in Savannah. I have been waiting months and months and the day has finally arrived. My bags are packed and all I need to do is wake up at 3:30 am and take off for the airport. Most of the ladies are already there having fun, so I am very excited and anxious to arrive, meet everyone and begin to glitz and glam the weekend away (while eating a whole lot of cupcakes).

Before I go, I wanted to share a little "photo shoot" with you of some goodies that arrived in the mail today.

My sweet and dear friend, Peta (Sweet Pearlie May) sent me a package which arrived today. Everything in the box was glittered to perfection and hand-made with my favorite spring colors. Vintage Chenille hearts, a Silver Star cardholder, Heart shaped Sugars and a lovely handmade and decorated Pink egg were all tucked inside the box along with a beautiful and heartfelt card sending lots love to me and my DH.

I pulled it all together and did a little "photo shoot" so I could share the love and happiness with all of you.

Oh btw, if you would like to send me packages of gorgeous treasures just for no reason in particular, feel free! lol There's nothing like receiving scrumptious, hand-made treasures in the mail.
