Hello Girlfriends! It's that time again! Time for pink fun over at Beverly's of

I found this cute dish rack at HomeGoods. I knew as soon as I saw it what I was going to do with it. It was a whopping $4.99! I have it displayed on my sideboard in my dining room. I thought it was much too cute to use for just regular dishes! I plan on putting some more small plates on the sides. The white pitcher was also found at HomeGoods. I had been looking for one for quite some time. One day, I got a call from my sweet friend Shari, who lives in Fla. She said to hop over there, because they had like five different styles. I was so excited! Yes, yes, they had the same ones in my store. I got two of them! The pretty pink pedestal dish was a recent find out antiquing with the hubby. When he is on the road working, he is always on the lookout for new places for us to check out. This place was called Scranberry Coop. Lots of neat things at reasonable prices. The dish is a Fenton with the little tag still attached on the top. It was $30 with 25% off. Not bad, as I have seen Fenton pieces go for much more. I love the pearlescent color!!
I wanted to also share my recipe for a raspberry oatmeal smoothie. It's tastes as good at it looks! It makes two large glasses full, so you can save some for another time or share it.
1 C ice
1/2 C frozen raspberries
1/2 C vanilla yogurt (I used Dannon Lite and Fit, but you can use any kind)
1 med banana
1/2 C raw oatmeal (not instant)
1 Tbsp honey
1 C cran/raspberry juice or just cranberry
Mix in blender til smooth.
Yummy!!
Thanks for stopping by for a visit!
You can spread it on pretzels, strawberries, cookies, an english muffin, oh yes! I am craving cheesecake lately for some reason. Hopefully this will satisfy the cravings without much damage.

Just look at this darling little Maltese!!! I want one of these! My hubby calls them Fu Fu dogs. lol! He would prefer a Bulldog named Butch, but not me!
I just love old linens, and look for new ways to display them.
I love old white buttons too! Such a pretty display.
I am swooning over this pretty bedroom! I could just see my little Fu Fu dog sitting here waiting for me to cuddle!
Pretty french postcard.
Come into my dining room, and see my valentine vignette. I love to decorate this buffet for each season. I tend to like shades of pink and cream/white for Valentines Day. Not too much into the bright reds. Here is a gorgeous vintage valentine that my dear mother-in-law made for me a few yrs ago. You can click on any picture to make it larger. She used a newer reproduction fold out card. I love the fabric she used for the background. Next to that is another reproduction fold up card. I just love cherubs!
The sweet little pink doll in this picture, was an e-bay find. She is in great condition, nice and clean, and I just love her bright blue eyes. The chocolate pot was also an e-bay find.
Today, I am sharing a Valentine vignette on my coffee table. The candle decoration is a vase purchased at Walmart, and the inside candle from the dollar store. The candle is inside another vase. In between I put little snippets of different colored ribbon. Jazz's it right up, and so easy peasy. You just have to fiddle with the ribbon to get it where you want it. I curled it first, and then adjusted it with the eraser part of a pencil. You could use this for any holiday. The love books (they open) are from Micheals, and the little pink heart, I made from felt, sequins and beads.
The little rose next to the cherub, I made from ribbon. Hope you all have a great weekend! Please visit Beverly for some more pretty pinks. I bet there are lots of other valentine vignettes today!
This is a gorgeous angel that she crocheted a few years ago. She has a beautiful porcelain head, and is just exquisite in every detail.
A tiny crocheted baby carriage, filled with potpurri, and another little angel. She made many of these little angels, in different colors, and some are made of needlepoint.
Here is a gorgeous Valentine she made for me, done in needlepoint. The card opens like a three fold. Just beautiful!
These are more angels that she made. The tiny ones are needlepoint, and the larger white one is made of parchment paper. She was a craft-o-holic , and just loved to make things for herself and others.
Hugs,
