Pink Saturday

Welcome to Pink Saturday pink bloggerettes! Today I have a candy dish, shaped like a flower, to share with you. It's starts off with the dish being empty........A sweet little bunny with pink eyes, pink ears, a pink nose, and a pink ribbon tied around his sweet little neck sits in the center. He is waiting patiently!
Then you fill it with pink Hershey's kisses. I guess you all know by now that I LOVE Hershey's kisses! But I especially like the ones wrapped in pink foil! Why? Because I'm a pinkie, of course!Hershey's chocolate kisses wrapped in pink foil always taste better, don't you think?Then there are my crystal candle sticks with what else, pink candles. Well, one is cream coloured!Sprinkle in some Easter eggs, hydrangea blooms, and a little birdie, and voila! a Springtime centerpiece! But let's go with all pink, shall we? These candle sticks were all gifts....the small one was from our Bible study group, the mid-sized one was from my son for my birthday, and the third was from moi! They are amazing when the light hits them, refracting into all the colours of the rainbow! Now that you have had your fill of pink here, please go see Beverly and her parade of pinkies. Just click on the link http://howsweetthesound.typepad.com/my_weblog/ or the Pink Saturday button on my sidebar. Have a beautiful pink Spring weekend everybody!

"Show and Tell Friday" ~ Craft Day

Good afternoon everyone! Today I am joining Cindy for Show and Tell Friday.

I have a little Spring-time craft to share with you.

First of all, let me say that I love little clay pots because you can do so much with them! I started off with a plain clay pot. I spray painted it white and glued in a piece of florist foam. Then I dabbed on aqua paint with some scrunched-up Glad wrap. I let that dry and then dabbed on pink paint with scrunched-up Glad wrap. I let it dry and then went over it with dabs of white paint, using again, scrunched-up Glad wrap. This gives the pot an antiqued look.Then I glued in Spanish moss to look like a bird's nest.Next, I glued in flowers and tied on a sheer ribbon. Lastly, I glued in three little eggs. This is what it looks like with a little birdie in my livingroom.




I also did a rose pot; again spray painting the pot white. Glued in Spanish moss, leaves, and a rose.I glued on some lace, and here it is in the bathroom.
It's easy and cute for Spring-time decor. Have a lovely day everyone. Be sure to check out all the other participants at Cindy's. Click on the link to go there. http://romantichome.blogspot.com/
