Happy Pink Saturday, everyone. Beverly hosts this weekly event – please stop by and visit everyone participating.

In fact, a post by Beverly inspired me to start a new collection. She posted a photo of one of her hatpin holders and I loved it. I’d seen them before, but suddenly I saw them differently – does that ever happen to you?

I found this one on ebay and it arrived yesterday. Isn’t it lovely?

I’m sure I need a new collection like a hole in the head…but I can’t help it! It’s only about 5 inches tall, it won’t take up too much space!

Have a wonderful weekend! Happy Halloween and Happy Birthday today to my nephew, David (he’s 16) and my wonderful brother-in-law, Ron (who is…we’ll just say 6 years younger than my husband!)

Happy Pink Saturday, everyone! Please stop by Beverly’s blog to see a list of everyone participating.

A while back I asked Connie of Living Beautifully where she had found the slipcovers she had on her office chairs. She graciously gave me the website – Cherry Blossom Cottage – and I bookmarked it, hoping to order one someday. I eventually tried to order one particular slipcover but it was gone by the time I got around to it. Time passed and when I went to visit the site, it was no longer there. I assumed it was no longer in business.

Not long after this, I won a giveaway at my friend Donna’s blog, An Enchanted Cottage. Donna had several fabric pumpkins of her own and as the giveaway winner, I got to choose some fabric pumpkins from Ronda’s (the designer) website – Tempting Textiles. Then Donna said Tempting Textiles used to be Cherry Blossom Cottage. Ah! Are you still with me? I ordered my pumpkins and also ordered a slipcover for my office chair. And it is pink!

Isn’t it a pretty pink slipcover? Ronda does lovely work and I couldn’t be happier. It goes nicely in my sewing area. And it makes me smile.

Have a great weekend!

I’m taking part in Sally’s Blue Monday for the first time. I always considered myself someone who didn’t particularly care for blue, but ever since I fell in love with the beautiful blues of McCoy Pottery, I seem to be adding more and more blue to my decor. I especially love aqua and turquoise blues.

This week I am sharing my Antique Cherub painting I splurged on when I was staying in San Diego earlier this year. If you are a regular reader of this blog, you may have seen my post about it. I saw it at Vignettes – one of my favorite shops – and after gazing at it for months, I bought it. I am in love with it. It now hangs in our bedroom.

Thanks for visiting! Stop by Sally’s blog to see a list of everyone participating.
