A Southern Belle Pink Saturday

Hello and Welcome to this weeks Pink Saturday....When leaving here, just pop on over to Beverly's to find all the other Pink loving blogs...Oh, the beautiful blogs you will see! Beverly would love to have you leave her a comment...she is our wonderful hostess and we thank her very much for her sweet dedication to our event! ♥

I thought I would a share a few of my Southern Belles.....I am not sure why I am so intrigued with them and sometimes spend far too much on them, but I do love them. And I am picky...I am a face snob, I guess, as I no matter how pretty the piece, if the face is not done well, I leave her.... on occasion I have taken out the stitching of the face and redone it, but I hate redoing another's work. It feels like trespassing!

These darling and pristine pillowslips can be found at My Website


Note the lovely bullion roses...
These Belles will be turned into pillows...maybe porch pillows as there is some yellowing in the middle of the runner...

And one...not in the pastels, but more in the Prairie Style....you will be able to purchase this in my Etsy Shop.
See a close up of the embroidery below....it is exquisite and not a stitch out of step!

I hope you enjoyed your little stroll through some of my Southen Belles....they are still out there, but pretty ones in perfect condition are getting more difficult to find!
I am so happy you stopped by and now I am off to visit you!
Blessings To All!

Join me, too, at Show And Tell Fridays

Hello Pink Saturday

It can't be Friday already.....It seems like it was just Monday. Oh I do wish life would slow down for a bit....
I really believe our winter is ending as our tulips are poking through the soil and a lilac bush has big green swollen buds....such a welcome sight! And we saw our first Robin....Oh, that was a happy moment! And to find more happiness, be sure and visit Beverly and all the wonderful blogs loving pink!

As I say goodbye to winter I have to say this is a winter I snuggled down and really enjoyed! I told you in an earlier post, how I was having a love affair with my warm and cozy bed...looking forward to getting comfy and cozy under the quilts and my special "blankie" and my hotwater bottle....such a comfort! I never have had a winter like this and I am grateful for it. It is hard to explain, but I needed just what it gave me...comfort, peace and some much needed healing of the soul! I hate saying goodbye to the long nights, but I welcome the longer evenings when we can be out enjoying the yard and the birds....each season offers such delights.

Do you like Southern Belles as I do? Pretty ones that are in great condition are getting harder and harder to find. Here are two I just listed on the Website



Click on the pictures and you can see them up closer....aren't they sweet?

Now I am off to say "Hi" to you!
Have a wonderful weekend!
