Sweet Shabby Birds and Roses

When I purchased this sweet chippy white frame, I didn't have a particular picture in mind for it.  I knew one day though, I would find just the right one.

What could be sweeter than the chippy white color?

And this scrolly base with scrolly legs?

And the wonderful top?

Can't get enough of that distressed look!

So, what could be sweeter than this little frame {which I might add is a HEAVY thing!}???

Well, I think this little bird is even sweeter!!!

And these large fabulous roses are sweeter!!!

Ok,maybe the WHOLE thing is sweet!!  Yep, I knew I'd find the perfect picture one day!  And here it is!

Today, I am linking to

Home Sweet Home

Show And Tell Friday

Feathered Nest Friday

Oh, and if you aren't a follower yet, won't you please consider it?  I'd be happy to return the "follow"!  Just four more until I get to 200 !!!

Happy Friday Everyone!

Rosette Party!

I am running fashionably late, but I look good because I am wearing some awesome rosettes... lol... and they're PINK!  

The French Cupboard is hosting a Rosette Party!  You can show off rosettes that you have made, things you have created from your rosettes, or even purchased rosettes.  And if you wish, you can share a tutorial on making your favorite rosettes.  

Hope you enjoy the rosettes that I have made and some creations I have made with my handmade rosettes!

This is a brooch created by added some vintage lace, vintage bling, and velvet ribbon.

In this green rosette necklace, I added some glitter to the white rosettes and some tinsel to the large green one.

The denim and pink rosette in this picture were created by circles of fabric that were folded into fourths.

This denim rosette choker is created with a vintage crochet piece.  Velcro makes easy off and on action.  lol

My very favorite that I made for myself.  Once again, you see the vintage crochet piece that makes this necklace very comfortable around the neck!  I will be creating more of these, as well as others, for my Etsy shop very soon!

Do you have rosettes you'd like to show off?  It's not too late to join the party!  Do you have a love for rosettes and/or want to learn to make your own...you can find some tutorials at the party too!

Head on over to The French Cupboard and check out all of the rosette participants!

Rosy Blessings,

Rebecca

Dollies, Roses, and Plates...OH MY!

Happy Pink Saturday!

VINTAGE DOLLIES

One of my weaknesses is vintage dollies.  

These are my favorite kind to collect. 

 I just love their wonderfully vintage dresses, hats, flowers, etc.  I recently found these 4 beauties for a song, and I just think they are yummy!  I especially adore the one in the pink dress and hat!

ROSES

I couldn't have been given a better name than

Rebecca Rose!

Oh how I LOVE roses...ALL colors, but still nothing better than PINK...

All shades!  :)

This rose bush was here when we bought this home 2 1/2 years ago.  It has really been scrawny and scraggly, and I've tried to give it some love and attention.  At least this year, it is actually blooming.  I had almost given up on it, as I am NOT a rose expert, by any means!  Maybe with a little more nurturing, it will be even prettier next year.

Aren't these gorgeous!?!  These arrived today from some friends.  We will get it planted on Saturday in the front yard.  I will always be reminded of my sweet mother, as they were given in memory of her.

PLATES

OMG! {or as my friends would say, OH EM Gee!  lol}

I adore the little rosy pink flower design!

I found these plates for a steal!  $1.00 a plate.

I just love them!

Hope you enjoyed my pinks for Pink Saturday.

Want more Pink?

Then head on over to Beverly's!  You wouldn't believe all of the pinkies out there in blogland that love to share their pinks!

Have a blessed weekend with those you love!

Pink Pretties

Happy Pink Saturday once again.  

Recently, I spent an afternoon browsing one of my favorite antique stores.  This two story shop is a treasure trove of curiosities.  I snapped a few pics of some wonderful pink treasures that I came upon.

Love this purse with pink berries!

What a wonderful rose tea set!

Lovely!

Sweet little pink set!

Look at this wonderful doll with the lacey pink dress!

She's not just a doll...she's a lamp!

Sweet!

I finally got the last of my Valentine's decorations packed away.  Although we've had snow on the ground, I'm dreaming of spring already.  Flowers are already "blooming" on my tabletops and shelves.

Soon my bunny collection will take center stage as Easter approaches.  I'll be sure to share when these funny bunnies make there way into special Easter vignettes around my home.


This week for Pink Saturday, I am spotlighting Tiffanee's blog, One Crazy Cookie.  I visited her blog for the first time last week.  Boy, oh boy, does she have some yummy goodies over there.  Go by and pay her a visit!

Be sure to head over to Beverly's for many more pink posts.  Hope you have a most lovely weekend!

Pink Blessings,

Happy Pink Saturday

I am running a bit slow today on my Pink Saturday post...but here it is now!☺

These are lovely Danseur Rhinestone Roses from Shabbyfufu.

Aren't they gorgeous?!? They can be pinned on your favorite jacket or dress, used in one of your creations, or placed on a choker to make a unique necklace.

In this picture, you can see my "Love" slide {on one of my pink vintage hankies}. I wear this on my choker or a chain.

Beverly has challenged us to spotlight another Pink Saturday Blogger. This week, I'd like to share Suzanne's blog. Her post last week was the sweetest little pink kids! Head on over and pay Suzanne a visit at The Shabby Tiara. You'll be glad you did!

Hope you have a lovely Pink Saturday!

Make sure you go by Beverly's for more lovely pink posts!

Back Porch Blessings,

Rebecca
