princess suite...

In honor of my girl finishing up her junior year in college and coming home this weekend I thought I would share with you the "princess suite" before the princess brings all her "stuff" home and the room does not look as sweet as I would like it. Hope you all like pink... Jac picked the color of her walls ~ it is a salmony pink ~ reminds me of the geraniums my Mom always use to get every year. I love the way these two rose paintings pop against the wall color... I found this cute cherub lamp on ebay and the lamp shade at a local consignment shop... Sweet little mirror that hangs atop the two rose paintings... Pretty pillow from Marshalls... She loves Audrey... I just recorded "Breakfast at Tiffany's" and am hoping to watch it together when she gets home. I love her vanity. It was a gift from my sister in law Christine when Jaclyn was little...I found this fabulous old syroco mirror at a yard sale for $2!! It was gold but it got a coat of dreamy white... These cute little blocks got a shabby makeover... When she was younger her room was covered in "Titanic" posters and pictures of Leo. My Mom bought her this little music box... I recently put this cabinet in her room for more storage. I am just looking for the time to give it a shabby makeover... Jaclyn loves mirrors just like her Mom ~ this one was from our beach cottage... I love this lingerie chest... But I love this bureau even more... Isn't it fabulous!! I found this beauty in New Bedford. I intended it for my booth but thought it would be perfect for the princess suite. Look at the roses... Don't you think they should make white televisions... This was from her sweet sixteen party... Beautiful then... Beautiful now... I've missed you Jac and am very happy you are coming home... I am joining Cindy at My Romantic Home for Show and Tell and am hoping to get in on the Pink Saturday fun that Beverly hosts over at How Sweet the Sound. Thank you all for stopping by and have a wonderful weekend!!!

pink pin money...

Growing up I remember my Nana asking me if I had "pin money" before I went out the door with friends or on a date. I guess she always made sure that my Mom had a dollar pinned to her clothes in case she needed to make change for a phone call or money to take the bus home. Later my Mom would use that phrase for the money she would save using coupons. She would save up her "pin money" to go to a flea market or estate sale and find a new treasure for her nest. My Mom and Nana are both gone now but I keep the tradition going.

How adorable is this pink pin money bank! A pretty pink china purse with roses and rhinestones to make even saving money pretty!!

I missed the deadline this week to participate in Pink Saturday but I thought I'd show you my pink treasure anyway and wish everyone a Happy Valentine's Day!!!
