A Pink Rose

"A Single Pink Rose"

What is it about a single pink rose that can make you feel so good....is it the soft pure pink color....or maybe what it can stand for......for me it is so romantic and calming......

I can have a room filled with pink roses..........

and never get tired of the romance behind it...it can make any room happy :-).....

I will never get tired of the color pink or a beautiful "Single Pink Rose"

**************************************************************

I love the unexpected....I have been looking at these black and white plates for so long at Home Goods.....well the day came when I just had to bring them home.....I love the wonderful new look it gives my kitchen table.....

a touch of black and white is enchanting and fun......

the mix of the white lace doily and my cute little faux cupcake on top of the new black and white dishes just makes me happy.....

I know I have taken a bit of a blog break.....but sometimes life takes over...I have missed all of you !!!!!!!!

Have a wonderful evening...

Hugs, Mo :-)

Pretty Vinyl Lettering

It is very hard taking pictures of glass....but I think you will get the idea....

this is the very popular vinyl lettering...I am sure you have seen it or have been to a vinyl lettering party......they even have it at Michael's Craft store....

(I use this name for other projects)

I have this one hanging on my front porch.....Hubby had to hold something behind it just so you can read the lettering.....I change out the windows on the porch often...just for a different look....

this is the look at the moment....
I am sure it will not look like this next week.....
****************************************************
our last name starts with a "G" thus the letter "G".....
I put it on an old pink window ...I added the lace behind just so it could be seen......

I have this hanging in my soon to be painted kitchen.....

just a close up of the lettering....I love all the curves.....

there are so many things you can do with this...they also have cute saying you can put on your walls....it even pulls off when you want a change....or get tired of it....

have a wonderful day...

Hugs,

Mo ;-)

Where Did It Go !!!!!

Sorry, but this post has a mind of it's own today.....I have no idea what happened to it..or where it is......It is in blog heaven at the moment.....I hope I find it soon.
**************************************************************************
Update:
I found my post ...but it has all this weird lettering and symbols.....I haven't a clue what happened....I am trying to fix it....I am not a computer wizard...so this may take awhile....
In the mean time...have a wonderful day....
Hugs,

Mika Wanted to Say Hi

Hi !! It's me Mika...

My Mom said I could do this post today....

I wanted to show you what she brought me back from LA......

but first I wanted to show you how I can balance on this chair when I look out the window......

see...I can even sit...I let my Mom and Dad know when someone is coming to the door....or walking by or even when a car goes by...sometimes I bark and sometimes I don't.....

Oh sorry...I was watching the neighbors cat....were friends.....

well anyway....my Mom bought me a new walking harness.....

pretty cute .....my Mom is always calling me her little angel.......I really like the pink ruffles and I even like the pearls on the wings.....Mom doesn't dress me up to often....just for special occasions......

see...don't they look cute on me.....

when my Dad walks me he likes my green harness with the black leash....

I wonder why ???

Well my Mom is going to take me for a walk now.....

have a fun day....

Hugs,

Mika

Lamp Shade Cover

I wanted a bit of a softer look with my lamp shades in my living room....I found 2 curtain valances at the thrift store in a little town called Jackson on our way home last week...I paid $4.20 for both valances....

I put ribbon through the place where the curtain rod would go and tied it at the top with the robbon and just put it over the lamp shade....I love the new softer look....
this is the before....
I did the same with the Rachael Ashwell lamp shade with the other valance below...

the new softer look lamp shade just give my living room
that soft romantic look I love....

this is the before.... I still love my little bird house lamp...
I just gave it a bit of a new look....
and the great thing is I can change it back anytime....
***************************
a little side note: I also used some vintage jewelry....I pinned it to the ribbon at the top of the valence I used on the lamp....you might have to make the picture bigger to see it.....I have had the jewelry so long it is vintage now....so glad I can now reuse it again and enjoy it.....
Hugs,
Mo :-)
