Countdown to Baby Shower

Hi Everyone! Hope you all have been having a wonderful weekend ~ I'm going to be taking a wee little break from my blog until after the Baby Shower for my daughter, which is this Saturday ~ and so far the forecast is calling it to be a good day....no rain....no heatwave...Whoot! Whoot!

I've mentioned in past posts that I haven't been able to do any sewing because my room has been taken over with stuff for the shower....as you can see by the first photo, the bed is full of things :)




These are some little Thank-You bags that I put together for everyone who comes...inside behind the cute little card is some yummy Raspberry filled chocolate :)



This will be the centerpiece for the Gift table...



These are the Gift bags for the winners of the games we'll be playing... the games are: Thank-you card draw.....Don't Say Baby.....Baby Shower Left & Baby Shower Right....Guess What's in the Bag...and a Word Scramble game.



These purple bags are the prize bags that Amber will get for each game played...she gets one automatically :)



And yes ladies, I will be taking LOTS of pictures of the shower for you all to see :) I'll see ya all in just over a week! Until next time sweet friends :)

Did my Hubby do good Ladies?

First, I think that what ever problem I was having accessing my blog is done with.....I'm going to keep my fingers, arms, legs, toes, etc... crossed that it is....it is NOT fun when you can't connect to your blog!!

Okay, Saturday my hubby went to go visit his dad and step-mother, and on his way there he stopped at a couple of sales, and at one of them he found this fabulous Vintage pie plate holder ~ I didn't think to take a before pic, but it was orginally a dull silver color, and it has these sweet plastic white beads on it, which I kept ~ but I did give it a shabby and oh-so-chic makeover by painting it...yes...my FAVORITE pink color by Krylon Fusion called Fairytale Pink ~ I LOVE this paint because you don't have to use a primer first.



I love the Filigree details on it....



And the sweet Swag design too...



A while back I purchased a set of 3 pretty Vintage rose plates, and they are perfect displayed on this stand....



Isn't this so fabulous ladies!! Sometimes my hubby doesn't do too well in finding things for me, but sometimes he can really hit the jackpot!! :) I plan to use this for the Baby Shower for my daughter to hold the sandwiches on :)



Have a great day everyone!!! Until next time sweet friends :)

Some new Pink Pretties on Ebay

Hello everyone ~ I wanted to show you all some new Vintage pretties that I have listed on my Ebay, but I also wanted to find out if anyone has been having problems accessing their blogs? Since the afternoon that I did my previous post about being featured in the Italian magazine, Casa Romantica Shabby Chic, I have been unable to get to my blog ~ sometimes I can get to it, though barely briefly, then I can't connect to it at all. Today I was able to get to my Dashboard, so that I could do this post, and to find out if anyone else is having problems, or if it's just me....perhaps something with my Internet provider, which is AT&T. If any one else is having a problem, or know what might be causing the problem, I would really appreciate hearing from you......that is, if I can get to my Blog again to read comments :(

Here are the 3 items that I have given a Shabby Pink Makeover to.....

First it this fabulous pair of Vintage Wall Sconces...




Next we have this wonderful Vintage Candleholder, with a filigree base...



And lastly, this Vintage footed tray... All items were painted with my favorite Fairytale Pink by Krylon Fusion.



Well, that's all for todays post....I now hope that I can get it published! I'm going to be pretty busy for the next 2 weeks getting the house ready for my daughter's Baby Shower on August 6th....lots of things to do...and CLEAN, lol :)

So until next time sweet friends :)
