Pink Saturday

at by

It is time for our favorite day, Pink Saturday! Beverly of How Sweet the Sound hosts this weekly event. Be sure to stop by her blog and visit all the participants.

I have two things to share with you that I bought at last Saturday’s Barn Sale at La Maison Rustique. First up:

An incredibly cute Scottie made from pink chenille! I saw this little guy and I had to have him. (I’ve decided he’s a boy even though he is pink. And why not?) The chenille is vintage and the bow is a soft green. What do you think I should name him? He currently lives on the bed, tucked up against the robin’s egg blue pillow shams.

Next we have a little pretty for me to wear…I was about to pay for my purchases when I spied this in a glass case at the register. I soon tried it on and that was that.

I love this necklace! It is so beautiful ~ I can’t wait to wear it!

I hope everyone has a wonderful Pink Saturday and an equally wonderful weekend!

Foggy morning

at by

This morning’s sky was foggy, filled with swirling clouds and the sunlight trying to break through. I ran out onto the balcony to grab a few shots, knowing that it could all be gone in the blink of an eye. And it was. The sun has emerged and taken over the sky. Another sunny San Diego day.
Believe me, I love the sun, but I do like it here in San Diego when the weather is a bit grumpy – whether its fog or rain or whatever. Back when we lived here I would get so excited if there was a thunderstorm. It happened rarely. I remember my husband and I running outside to listen to the thunder. Oh, and then there is the even rarer instance when it suddenly hails. You’re driving along and suddenly for about 2 minutes, huge amounts of hail fall…and then its sunny. This morning’s foggy beginning was beautiful.

I promised I would post the link for the fabric Easter Eggs. I found it at Retro Mama. She is very talented and she posts all the directions, plus the pattern for the egg. Just scroll down and you will find it. I found out about Retro Mama from another great source, Today’s Creative Blog. Kim posts about various blogs she has discovered.It is a great source for those of us who don’t always know what’s out there. I have found a lot of wonderful blogs through Kim.

I must leave you now and do the laundry before I have class. Have a great day everyone!

This and That

at by

Thought I’d post a few more photos from the Barn Sale that didn’t make it into the first post. Love this birdcage on wheels – oh, if only I lived in a bigger house! My friend Donna would love this.

This sweet corner shelf was so charming, especially with the lace draped over it.

I want this birdhouse…but then there are many things I wanted at this sale.

These are fabric Easter eggs I am in the midst of sewing. Unfortunately, I am having problems with the tension on the Featherweight, so they are on hold until my friend, Ingrid, can stop by and help me out. I haven’t finished stuffing these – they need more Poly-fil – but I love the look of them. In my next post, I’ll give the link to the tutorial for these little cuties.

I have a full day ahead with classes, coaching, a faculty meeting and more coaching. Bye for now.
