~~~~~A GATHERING PLACE GIVEAWAY~~~~~ Sweet Spring Pretties For You

 ~COTTAGE PILLOW-CARD-HANG TAG-TEA BAG~

Altered Art Pretties

Man o' man!  I'm barely getting the GIVEAWAY I promised to start today posted in time!  Wow...I've had a bizzzzzzzzeeeeeeeeeeeeee day! :)  The snow is melting and the sun is shining and this Cali Native is soooo happy! :)  I'm just itching to dig-in-the-dirt!  Are you???

 ~ALL GLITTERED UP~

 Pretty Little Ensemble

Because I caught the dreaded FLU just after New Year's my plans for making sweet Valentine Pretties sorta fell by the wayside.  Bummer!  That said...I decided to focus a bit early on Springtime offerings and so my Giveaway will hopefully get you excited about warmer weather and springtime planting...

Now...this sweet little Pillow is exactly like one I'll be uploading this weekend on my A Gathering Place Website. The matching Greeting Card, Hang Tag and Tea Bag Cover will also be offered as well and several other styles of cards, too!  I'm excited about the new line of Easter Cards that will be coming your way this week and I'm hoping you will be ka-ray-zeeee in love with them!

~HAPPY PINK SATURDAY - Celebrating You With A GIVEAWAY~

 ~MY MISS K and I~

(Baking Cookies in 2005 - Age 3)

Dear Pinkettes!

HAPPY PINK SATURDAY TO YOU!

  ~MISS K PAINTING CHRISTMAS ORNAMENTS~

(A Precious Memory For Me)

Thank you Miss Beverly from HOW SWEET THE SOUND for hosting our PINK GATHERING week after week!  Please stop by and visit with as many of the Pink Lovin' Peeps who work so hard to give you a weekly dose of Sweet Pink Inspiration Saturday after Saturday.  This week I hope you'll visit our special friend, Marilou from LuLu's Lovlies!  She always has the best PINKS and this week she's celebrating her 100th Post with an awesome giveaway!

 

 ~MISS K and PINK PAINT EVERYWHERE~

 (Totally Priceless)

The three little pictures above steal my heart away.  Very few of you know the back story of my Miss K and until she is older and chooses to share it for herself, that is how it will remain.  What I will tell you is that the photos you see were all taken on a frosty November day as I worked feverishly at squeezing in as many 'experiences' as possible into a six hour time-frame.  Now...here I am almost exactly 5 years later and find I'm not only thankful for answered prayers but for restoration of the years the locusts devoured.

~AN EARLY RACHEL QUILT~

Next comes a  pretty pink rose quilt that was originally sold at MERVYN'S (geez...I miss that store!).  It was an EARLY Rachel Ashwell print and I still love it as much today as I did when I bought it several years ago!

~PARIS PINK FILE FOLDERS~

I don't recall where I first found these charming Paris Pink File Folders but boy do I love them!  YUMMO!

~VINTAGE CHRISTMAS GIRL POSTCARD~

Isn't this little Pinky sweet?  I recently purchased this old Post Card on eBay and I'm over the moon crazy about the image!  Too Sweet!

~HAND PAINTED PINK ROSE BOX~

This charming old box was once rusty and worn!  It was sold to one of my long-time buyers last week and I was sooo sooooooooo sad to see her go!  Some things you just hate to part with!  "So long sweet old Tackle Box!  Hope Miss Sweet Tea loves you as much as me!"

 ~VINTAGE PINK BEAUTY~

This darling old print came in a wedding guest book I bought in the early 90's at T.J.Maxx.  I loved it so much I tore it out of the book and put it in a little frame!  She hangs in my office!

~LOVELY PINK LADY~

I love old graphics and the one you see above has always been one of my favorites!  There's just something about her face and pink rose hat that pulls me in...

~VINTAGE MILLINERY PINK ROSE HATS~

I have a weakness for vintage hats.  If they have pink roses on them...well...I'm a BIG-TIME-GONNER!

Now...are you ready to see my 2nd Giveaway for the month?  This one is for my FOLLOWERS!

~A SWEET GIVEAWAY FOR MY FOLLOWERS~
