A Pink Saturday Potpourri.......

I am running around chasing my tail, or though it would seem. It always gets crazy before the Trade Days Antique Flea Market that I host twice a year on the half acre behind my store........not only am I busy securing quality dealers, but I try to have fresh and new merchandise in the sale as well. This Pink Saturday I present a whole mismash of pink items, but all things that I love. They have all been specially prepared for the sale.....except the paintings......someday I will have enough quiet time to finish these, but thought if I shared them it would make me do it faster because of total embarrassment because these have been sitting for almost a year in this incomplete state........or maybe not, we'll see :) There is no special theme other than pink and pretty today.......hope you enjoy........and think of me as I quietly go crazy the rest of the week.

I still adore antique china mosaic and knew these flat frames would accommodate beautiful patterns.....I especially love using the capodimonte roses in the corners for wonderful depth. Once grouted, they will be ready for the sale.
Victorian cones made from old window screen.....they can be painted any color desired and are precious on door knobs and handles because of the smaller size.

Paintings I haven't finished yet.....now now maybe I will as I have embarrased myself into completion by sharing :)

Gorgeous vintage fabrics made into what I sweetly call my "big ass bags"....great for grocery shopping or for just toting things around.

Sweet little antique teacup pincushions......

Last, but not least, is the slipcovered vintage patio chair....ready for the Trade Days, but you're gonna have to beat Brenda to it has she has seriously been eyeing this piece :)

My Lil'Tater Tot

Anyone that knows me realizes I have become a new Gammy in the last seven weeks. I am truly blessed because my daughter and her husband live just one house down from her Daddy and me and they love to have us around. I watched her being born and have watched her grow quickly over the last weeks. I know when Kristi (my daughter) and I were shopping for baby clothes we really didn't realize or notice the difference between newborn and zero to three months....thinking they would all fit....I mean, the logic would be zero means "newborn", right?......wrong! Well, last week I was changing my new baby girl and had to really tug on the the little onesie to get it snapped. She has grown from 7.2 lbs to 11.4 lbs and was wearing this little outfit like second skin. That's when I told Kristi that it looked like she had ten pounds of taters in a five pound sack.....and it just stuck......she is now my lil'tater tot. Also anyone that really knows me, knows I make up songs about everything.....hence the "Tator Girl Song". She seems to really like it..........meaning Sterling, not her Mama.......so I just watch her smile as she hears the song written just for her. Kristi even put the phone up to her ear yesterday when she was fussy and I gave her a few versus of the "Tator Girl Song" ... Kristi said she got really quite and smiled.....like it or not, she is forever my "Tater Girl"!
