A Tisket, A Tasket, A Pink & White Basket

The story about this pink basket :

I stopped by my friend Tete's house last nite before church because I was telling her how awful of a headache I had yesterday. Now I don't get sick or get headaches(like I've not missed a day of work in 14 years, didn't miss one day of school-I'm just lucky I guess). This one was so bad-I thought-maybe I need to go to the hospital(by the way-I don't like hospitals or doctors). This headache felt almost as bad as the kidney stone I had 17 years ago(if you've had a kidney stone-you'd understand). I threw up a couple of times and felt like my head would explode. No other symptoms. She told me to come on by-she wanted to look at my neck. She did this pop thing on it and it gave me some relief(I've never been to the chiropractor-but she thinks I should to get adjusted).

Anyway, as I was leaving-she handed me this cute little basket and then told me that Craig (her 25 year old Son) had picked it out for me and that I should give him a kiss. I think he was a little nervous-unsure what I would do or where I would kiss him-so I walked over(he was sitting on the floor), pushed back his bangs and planted one right on his forehead.

Didn't think much about it until I called Tete back after church-and she precedes to tell me that the guys(her husband and son) were arguing about who bought me the cute pink basket. Steve(her husband) apparently picked it out, but Craig ended up buying it.

So.....................looks like Steve's got a BIG KISS coming-He better watch out cause when he least expects it-I'm gonna grab him and plant one on!

(BTW-Tete's in on this one!)

Pink Bunny Slippers

I saw these for sale on a website and may have to order me a pair-aren't they adorable-and anyone who knows me knows-I always wear heels!!!

Vintage Pink Items

I have a small landing at the top of the stairs(enough room for 2 chairs and a couch) where I have it set up for a reading area(not that I've ever used it!). Can you see why-all the chairs are already taken! I bought this sweet doll off a junk lady years ago-she's got a little pink vintage pipe cleaner dog next to her-I think she looks pretty cozy! Also some of my pink cushion heart collection.

St. Patrick's Day Bow

A co-worker left me this green bow to take to the nursing home to get a picture with my Grams. I decided to forgo the green hair since I wouldn't get to see her until this evening and then she'd be going to bed and no-one would see her-so we've decided on yellow or lavender hair for Easter!

Oval Children's Prints

I bought the top and bottom print together and later found the middle one-I like them all together-but I haven't found the right place for them. I think I need a little children's area to put them with my vintage children's toys-but I'm out of room!

Pink Flower and Butterfly Bowl

I picked this little sweet bowl up yesterday for $2.50-I just love the little flowers and butterflies-wouldn't it look good on an Easter dinner table!

Funny Pink T-Shirt

I love fun t-shirts and thought this pink one would be a great addition to my collection - It says "You look funny with your head turned sideways like that!"

Pink Coats

Do you remember this coat I was looking for several months ago? I'm so excited-I found it on ebay-brand new!!! A girl at work had one just like it and I fell in love with it and have been searching for it ever since. I told her I had finally found one and she said I got it cheaper than what she paid for it-and just in time for spring!!!! Then I spotted this little beauty on Friday nite and went to order it -and it wouldn't process. After several attempts-it showed it was no longer available. I was so disappointed. By the next evening-a confirmation had showed up that the order had went thru-so I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I will get that one in the mail too!

A girl can never have to many pink coats-right-I only have 5 pink winter ones-on to looking for spring ones!

Antique Cherub Mirror

I've had this really neat cherub mirror for a few years. I love the old patina and the tarnished silver!

Stylish Pink Mustaches for Girls

While searching the web-I came across these wonderfully fun PINK mustaches-I will be wearing one of these sometime too-and also thought they would be fun to take camping for the kids to wear in their plays . One for everyday of the week and then I spied-Saturday's mustache-and my grams was game-she can't see herself-but she lets me have fun!

Here's my grandma-Ella Mae-modeling the Saturday Pink Moustache called -The Grandma! I'm joining Tickled Pink at http://www.504main.com/2011/03/tickled-pink-no-43the-link.html

Vintage Rabbit with a Doll Face

This little sweet surprise was staring out from the bag at me-I got so excited!!!! I always look for these and rarely find them-but my BF Tete found this one for me! The other half of my Easter goodie bag which the fur baby slippers(Ella Maes Barn Gathering Blog) would have been enough!
I so love this little girl(she's got purple on her, but it looks pink in the photo) She's been loved and I like that! Thanks again Girlfriend for such wonderful surprises! I'm joining White Wednesday at http://fadedcharmcottage.blogspot.com/2011/03/white-wednesday-90.html

Cosmopolitan Shaker

I bought this little pink shaker at Christmas to put in the pink camper! I think it will be a fun addition(and it's not too big-since the camper is already packed!). If you're in the area-stop by and I'll make you one!

Miss Kitty

My Miss Kitty is at least 18 years old and I have been having to face that it is getting closer to her time. I've been having a really hard time with this since she is my very first pet I've ever had and her personality is like no other cat I've seen(she's me in cat form!) I'm trying to love on her as much as I can every day and feed her the wet food she loves.

I've never seen another angora cat like her-her hairs not perfect anymore-but she's still got it going on-just like I want to when I'm old!

Pink Costumes

I'd love to be one of these ladies all dressed up in these fun costumes! Hope you had a great weekend!

Pink Plastic Bunny

Found this pink plastic bunny on a small trip to pick up a cabinet I bought. Couldn't resist the pink bunny for only $5.00. Great addition to my vintage easter collection! I'm joining Pink Saturday at http://howsweetthesound.typepad.com/my_weblog/2011/03/pink-saturday-march-5-2011.html
