Go Pink

Oh how I love pink. Which is probably why I chose it as my wedding colors. I actually chose to use light pink and a darker or hot pink. My fiance's groomsmen will boast coordinating black tuxes with light pink vest and ties and darker pink boutonnieres and my bridesmaids will wear dark pink dresses. I found my wedding dress yesterday! It's an amazing dress. So in celebration of my upcoming wedding this post is dedicated to everything pink. Here are some great "pink" finds.


These pink chrysanthemum earrings are so cute. They have so much detail in ever little petal and the bright pink color is just popping with excitement. These can be found in the Etsy shop of dangsworld.


Every girl loves herself some great bath products. I know I sure do. What better to lather your body in than pink buttercream scented body polish. Mmmm how delightful that must be. Pick yourself or a girl friend one of these up today in the Etsy shop of CozyMoments.



These cookies look almost (almost) too good to eat. These would be the perfect addition to any wedding or bridal shower. I would love to have these at my wedding and this one is all ready ready for my big day with the B on it. :) Check out these and more edible goodies in the Etsy shop of cakeboxcookies.



Paper pom pom's are the new thing. You can find them in kits from Wal Mart to Michael's. Martha Stewart is even selling paper pom pom kits now. These dainty paper pom pom flowers are situated on a silver wires. These would add a girly touch to any room. I could really see them placed in a milk glass vase. These are from the Etsy shop of PomLove.



And from my own shop is this lovely fabric covered switch plate cover. This switch plate has been covered in Michael Millers Dandy Damask fabric in pink. This switch plate will add an instant update to any room at an affordable price. Find this and more in my Etsy shop cms36451.


These just might be the cutest hang tags I've ever seen. These are great for attaching to Easter gifts. Each pink bunny has been hand stamped on an oatmeal color hang tagged and then pink glitter and pom pom's were added. Those pink pom pom tails are the cutest things! These probably won't last long so go over to the Etsy shop of jillzabell and grab them before they're gone.


Have a great weekend!

Throw A St. Patrick's Day Party At Home!

Hi all. Wow, I've been slow posting the last few weeks. I had a blast at Mardi Gras! It was toooooo much fun. Now it's time to move on to St. Patrick's Day. Rather your Irish or not, it doesn't matter. It's just another reason to have an awesome party and drink a lot. Here are some great Etsy finds to help you have an even better party! May you and yours have the luck of the Irish!


These great green cups are perfect for your St. Patty's Day festivities. These are vintage Anchor Hocking glasses. Grab this set of four from the Etsy shop of cutfromthesamecloth.

Get Ready For Spring!

I just love Spring time. The breezy air, sunshine, birds chirping, flowers blooming, it is all so beautiful. Today in Alabama it was almost 80 and I felt like we skipped Spring and went straight into Summer. Here are some beautiful items from Etsy that are sure to get you in the mood for Spring. I know we all look forward to warmer weather!


This makes me wish I had wings and fly in for a visit. This sweet little bird house has been painted a rustic blue and has a rusty little metal roof. This and more wonderful bird houses can be found in the Etsy shop of baconsquarefarm. She also has some bird house garden stakes I really liked.



I love wind chimes. Just hearing them "sing" with each breeze that passes bring me much joy. The beautiful green glass and copper chimes of this piece go so lovely together. Grab a set today and hang on your porch or in a tree. From the Etsy shop of tskDesign.


Perhaps Spring time makes you want to get outside and get your hands a little dirty. If so you should certainly grab some of these Zinnia seeds and watch your flowers grow. Zinnias make beautiful arrangements. You get 100 seeds for only $2.00 and once you cut some off new ones will come! From the Etsy shop of RathburnSmithFarms.


Of course all of those Zinnias will need some water! So grab yourself an adorable mosaic frog watering can. He is just so cute. I would suggest leaving him out for all to see, unlike those plain watering cans we tend to hide away in the storage shed. From the Etsy shop of artsyphartsy.


No flower bed or flower pot should be without it's own stake. What a lovely stake this is. The beautiful teal and coral colors of this copper stake go so well together. Adorn your garden with one of these lovelies from the Etsy shop of jangeisenGardenArt.


Hungry for more? Sure you are. Forget going to the market for corn, plant your own. I love sweet corn cooked on the grill. It is so yummy! Simply butter it, add a dash of salt and pepper, wrap in foil, and cook on the frill for about 30 minutes. Absolute goodness! Organic sweet corn seeds are from the Etsy shop of HomegrownHealthy. And guess what? This is a PIF, only 20 cents for 25 seeds.

My Exciting News

I like to keep this blog mostly art related, but from time to time I also like to share things that are going on in my life. As some of you know in Sept of 2007 I gave birth to my first child. My baby boy Noah Caiden came into this world via emergency c-section a month early. There was a blood clot in the placenta or umbilical cord, we'll never know for sure which one. Noah was a fighter, but his fight ended at 2 weeks old. As my fiance, my mother, and I looked on our baby left us for Heaven. He got a blood clot and it caused him heart failure. My mother and I have a long history or blood clots and both of us have had almost fatal blood clots. We have a hereditary blood clotting dissorder known as Anti-Thrombin III deficiency. Since Noah's death many many doctors have told me I should never try to conceive again since there's no medicine for what we have other than the standard blood thinners. Well a few days ago the FDA approved a new medicine for our dissorder that will be used for patients with ATIII during surgery and pregnancy. I am beyond excited about this. My moms boss told her and her co-worker to check out something the FDA had released about peanut butter and some how she ended up on the page about the new medicine. I know without a doubt God took her to that page. Of course I will have to sit down and talk to all (and that's a lot) of my doctors about this. But, we have hope again. All of our hope was never gone, but it surely wasn't all there either. I just wanted to share this exciting news with you all. Keep us in your prayers!
