This is my living room. When I moved here I had plans to restore it back to the original room layout. There were originally an entrance, library cases, columns, stain glass enclosed cupboards, and large pocket doors. It now has been made into one large open living area, no separate entry, parlor or dining room. I still have a built in buffet and stain glass cupboards and a wonderful plate rail to hold my treasure hunting finds. Enjoy the little trip around my world
I feel so blessed and have so many things to be thankful for....My children are all home and we are heading to my Mom's for dinner with my sister and brother's families. Wishing you a wonderful day and be sure and partake of the Thanksgiving Menu...Entree' Faith, Hope and Charity, Long Life, Wealth in abundance, Comfort, Garnished with Health, Success, Good Luck, and Prosperity may God richly Bless you
Love and Hugs to you Pinkie
Ps I printed these cute cards above for our Thanksgiving dinner placecards
I found a china cupboard....it will hold I lot of dishes
As you know I have a passion for pink....I also have a thing for roses. I decided to sort out all my china, teapots and glass to arrange and keep safe in my new cabinet
I love to hunt for treasure and find most of them at yard sales, flea markets and thrifts stores.
I like to visit antique stores to look, but very rarely to I purchase something there..
In the corner the covered candy dish is a Fenton piece I found last weekend at a yardsale
The victorian ruffled brides basket was a gift from my sister Rene, she found in at a yard sale
I think it one of my most favorite pieces I own
Well, when I start to decorate and arrange I get lost in time, I spent all morning in this cupboard and it's time to go off to work. I enjoyed this project (sorry about the light I had to use the flash it was so dim)
Well, what do you think? Hope you have a wonderful week Pinkie Denise
This is where I do my blogging...I have moved my studio into a spare bedroom. It seems like it is taking forever
to get it organized. This is not one of my fortes....
I thought I'd show you a couple picts of my workspace that is organized. I love my new mousepad, a couple of my favorite things roses and sweet children...
These are one of my latest finds. They were only $4 ....but they were very well worn, I laced them with some ribbon and a frill of lace.
One of creations my Mademoiselle's crown....
I just love these vintage crochet hangers another thrift find. I like to hang my vintage clothes on these....
and they're my two favorite colors
Some great glass buttons on a wonderful card and a sweet little girl figurine find a place on my cluttered shelf. I already am looking for more storage....
Aren't these should incredible!?I couldn't leave these when I found them at my favorite thrift store....Black silk pumps with embroidered pink roses! I wish they fit, I'd wear them ooh just too small...
I have collected these cute dolly dresses from the 40's. One is from my husband's Aunt...I want to display them on a clothes line with my dolly clothes pins I found. I could play in my studio all day, just never enough time...Hope you enjoyed the visit and have a great weekend. I am busy getting our R.V ready for our trip to the
Ocean and a Ladies luncheon today....Pinkie
Welcome to Show and Tell Sunday hosted by Cerri of Little Pink Studio.Today our topic is Vintage Linens.
I love anything handmade, linens, napkins, laces, pillowcases, tablecloths and clothing. I have quite a few,
but nothing compared to my Mother, the Linen Lady. We were gone almost all day yesterday and I didn't have the luxury or time to photograph everything like I would of liked. So here is a peek into her linen closet...This is her upstairs bathroom...
This a beautiful red-work pillow sham, it was well used and loved...
This is a table in my mom's butlers pantry covered in a pretty vintage colorful tablecloth..
This is the hallway where my mother stores alot of her linens, but she also uses them to decorate all over her home..
I wish you could see what is inside this cupboard. I wanted to take them out and look at them all...
These are mostly crocheted tablecloths and the two on the bottom are Madeira work from the Azores Island which are infamous for their handwork...This is where my grandparents came from and I think this is where the love for vintage handwork was woven into our heritage....
(The beautiful hand painted painters palette was a gift from my mother's Godchild in France)
A monogrammed tablecloth and beautiful petticoat...
I love this sweet pillow, my mom has a collection of these along with bedspreads from the twenty's
Another pillow and some dresser scarves...
This is one of my mom's many apron's, she wears them too.....
My mom loves blue birds....
Some of her napkin collection....
Everywhere you look in my mom's home little doilies and lace touch her house....
Did I mention she loves to iron?
More whites and creams...
This is her collection of vintage hand crocheted towels.....
Just a peek into her bathroom.....
I think I will have to do another part two post .....There is just to much too see. Hope you enjoyed this

Oh, my Mom was so surprised...

I live in a 100 year old Victorian home. My dining room has a built in china cabinet and buffet. I t has
cupboards with stained glass windows. I would sometimes walk by this house, it was abandoned and covered
with wild vines, little did I know that someday I would call it my home........I have been here 15 years now
and three of my children were born here. I love Christmas, my kids tease me saying I leave my decorations
up until Easter, not really but I probably would if I could get away with it. I have been unpacking boxes all
week and still have so much to do, but I will give you a little glimpse of what I've been up to..................
I love brush trees I have collected them for years even before it was popular.....................................
Some of my most favorite ornament I have collected over the years, from tag sales and thrift store
hunting, so fragile I don't put them on the tree anymore..................................................
More old indents
My frosty pink and white glitter house..................................................................................
Nicol's sweet little cherub ornament, one of my favorites............................................................
It makes me smile when I see it!
My Pink Mr. Claus, who would think.........and guess what he has in his pack? The tiniest little pink
pomegranate, for reals! I could believe it when I was putting under the cloche I found it........................
Close up of Old Pinkie Claus himself.......................................................
And a Pink Reindeer to match of course................................................................................
My momma made this snow angel for my Christmas package, I take it out every year..........................
This little booklet was a gift to a little girl from her Sunday school teacher, it has the sweetest pictures
and Christmas story...................................................................................................
May your holidays be filled with joy and peace.........................................................................
May the light of this glorious day shine upon you and fill your heart and soul with the
wonderful beauty and blessing of the season...............................................
Hope you've enjoyed my post as much as I have sharing with you....Pinkie Denise
