A Pink Christmas...again

Christmas is almost here, and 

I've yet to show you all the rooms in my house.

I finally got around to doing the PINK room.

I used mostly pink and silver balls this year. 

I hung my Shiney Brites from the mirror

and added white lights. 

This is the first year that I've used the milk glass

that I love so much.  I've enjoyed cleaning each piece.

Does anyone else like washing their pretty glass?

The Dollar Tree fake silver tray

was perfect for making it all shine.

I didn't make the ornament with pearls, 

but I like the idea.  That's something I think I can do. 

The mercury glass votices were 1/2 price.

I bought three of these trays. 

They proved quite useful.

I bought this at the end of Christmas sale last year.

It's glass and I don't do glass very well:(, 

It's a pretty for sure. 

Callie Anne thinks she's just as pretty in pink

as the rest of the room.

I agree. 

Merry Christmas From My Heart to Yours, 

Bonnie:)

Table #9: Pink With Promise

Just got back from the city, 

HOT 'lanta!

I'm telling you, 

I was country come to town

but that's another post!

Table #9 is

Pink with Promise

I guess you know who's table this is.

Does this look familiar?

Of course, it does.

I chose Pink Georgia transfer ware 

made in England.

The stemware is Pink Swirl by Noritake, 

both compliments of a couple of my friends. 

I added some silver with the pink.

I filled my milkglass baskets with silver bells. 

Each guest at my table got hugs and kisses:)

I bought this ornament at the end-of-the-season sale. 

It is one of my favorites this year.

My shop, my blog, my table is always about PROMISE!

"For to us a child is born, to us a son is given,

and the government will be on his shoulders,

and He will be called Wonderful, Counselor,

Mighty God, Prince of Peace.

Of the increase of his government and peace, 

there will be no end."

Isaiah 9:6-7

Jesus, yes Promise...

For His government and peace will never end!

Bonnie:)

A last look at the tables tomorrow.  

I will announce the winner of the Giveaway tomorrow evening. 

A Frame Transformed

I bought three great frames for $5 dollars.

I thought of a way to use it to disply one of my mom's

favorite ornaments. 

The old beveled mirror was a great backdrop

and I was able to add a new element to the pink room.

I always like the reflection that a mirror gives.

I was very happy with the transformed frame.

Preview of The Pink Table

Yes, I've found that a little dab of pink will do.

I decorated a small table top tree that I already had

and sat it atop the milkglass cake plate.

Myy daughter gave it to me one Christmas

and I rarely get to use it.

I am super excited about this event,

so I'm giving you a preview. 

I added a table top tree skirt, vintage pink ball ornaments

and a string of silver beaded garland. 

This is just a small glimpse of what you will see on Saturday.

I can hardly wait!

Riverfront Antique Mall: Meeting Distressed Donna Down Home

What a day of pickin'!

You know me, I got lost took the scenic route again,

with the help of Google.

I'm headed to Riverfront Antique Mall 

in North Augusta, SC, 

home of the famous blogger

Distressed Donna Down Home.

I called Olive at 

OliveOut

who lives across the river somewhere close-by.

"WHERE IN THE WORLD AM I AT?"

 How was she to know?

"Where are you?  What do you see?"

She knew exactly where I was.

I was going in circles.  

Go Figure!

Olive said, "Look for Aisle B."

And there she was!

My first meeting with a real-life blogger!

I was so excited I didn't get any photos of Donna's booth

but I did buy some things. 

She's my kind of gal.  She even had two baskets of FREEBIES.

I'll share my findings later. 

They are still packed in the trunk.

I do mean packed! 

I asked the owner, 

"Can I take pictures?"

"Uhhhh.  Not sure."

OOPS! TOO LATE.  

I shot these before I met Donna. 

The above display was the first thing I saw when I walked in.  

What an impression!

Shabby and Chic
and
Pretty in Pink

Rusty and Crusty
or
Linen and Lace
you will find at Riverfront.

A rusty, crusty plant stand, 

NFS.

Is this not the cutest?

Crates and wooden boxes,
Painted furniture and chalkboards
were everywhere.

This was another darling booth.  

I was shopping for resale 

so I had to pretend these were NFS.  

Several things in here were 

"For Display Only."

After all, 

presentation is everything. 

Well, for some. 

Honestly, I prefer a good dig. 

I didn't check the price.  

I can't believe I passed this by. 

This would have been perfect in my milkglass room. 

Distressed and framed scrapbook paper.  

What a grand idea!

I left with a trunk full of goodies and some good ideas!

This will not be my last trip to Riverfront.

Fun!Fun!Fun!

Bonnie:)

I'll be sharing my finds on my next posts. 

An Eye for White

It's got to be!

Cars everywhere on the side of the road.

A cow's gotten out 

(hey, it can happen!)

or there's a flea market!

I look with longing eyes, 

pleeeeeeeease:), Mr. H

(I'm batting my eyes)

YES! and I make a mad dash!

This time I only have eyes for white.

That's when I see it!

PERFECTION!

Hobnail Milkglass Powder Box

$5!!!!

Do you know what perfect pieces like this sell for 

even in my flea market???

$25!

I paid $3 for the Avon perfume jar.

I still can't get over that I paid only $2 more for the milkglass!

My favorite piece now!

Shabby chic is classic.

Add roses and lace and it's romantic.

Add white and it's a perfect vignette.

Sometimes it's all in the eye!

Restoration Hardware Baby Bedding

I'm little behind on the go-to places.

I honestly had not heard of Restoration Hardware 

until I started blogging.

I had never SEEN Restoration Hardware 

until a magazine arrived in my daughter's mailbox.

Love, love, love

everything!

This is a baby crib ruffle.

Oh so sweet!

I want a white one for the pink room.

The fabric for the bumper pad is similar.

Did you know that bumper pads are no longer recommended?

If proven not safe, why continue to sell???

Is this not precious! 

Uh, I'm in shabby chic heaven!

Beautiful!
Out of this world, beautiful!

Prices are out of this world too!
DID YOU HEAR ME???
OFF the CHART!

The catalog showed a RH child's table

like a wooden spool.

Cost??? $449!  Can you believe???

I think I'll go to Uncle Junks and find one,

sand and paint and voila!

Picking Tomorrow,

Bonnie:)

Bye baby Bunting
Daddy's gone a'hunting, 
To catch a baby rabbit skin
To wrap the Baby Bunting in.

This was in a Mother Goose book
that I read to my children.

Cora's Bedroom

Cora Joy

has brought us pure joy.

I spent the weekend smooching on

and snuggling with our little angel.

I honestly thought I had blogged 

her bedroom, but I couldn't find

where I had. 

I love all the design ideas 

that I learn from my children.

Knowing how crazy I am about 

shabby and chippy, 

I just had to show the mirror first. 

The natural patina on the frame and the mirror

make my heart sing. 

This is aging to perfection and PINK!

  A close up view of the mirror, 

shows the crocheted hearts banner.

PINK!

Here you can see a larger reflection of the room.

This is new, but resembles the vintage dotted chenille 

that was so popular in the 50's.

I love it! 

It covered the changing table.

PINK!

Christina covered the embroidery looms 

with fabrics to tie together the pink and the yellow.

She covered her name with the same fabric, and

used some of the fabric to create framed art.

Go PINK!

The sweet bedding was owls and birdies. 

Christina is a big Harry Potter fan

and so is Con-Con.

I just love to hear him say, 

"Hawwy Potta,"

This was hand-made, 

and so was this one

monogrammed with Cora's sweet name.

A close up view of the chenille and printed fabric. 

Cutie-patootie!

The C was hand-made by Cora's mommy.  

Please pardon the blur, but I couldn't not 

show you the lamp.  I really like it!

I especially like her sweet bows and ribbons. 

Already a girlie-girl.  

Her mom was a soccer girl, a basketball player, 

and a cheerleader. 

So she can be both!

The room is darling, 

but this little girl is the cutest darling of all. 

Our Little Cora-bug is a sweetie for sure!

There sure is enough love in Bonbon's heart 

for more! It only gets bigger and bigger.

Bonbon:)))
