Pink is not an Autumn Color..

And neither is blue.
But my new Little Miss who was graciously sent to me by Becky from SweetCottageDreams just had to show me how nice she would look in the falling leaves. And you couldn't tell the impatiens that pink is not the color of the season.

For a few years now I have had the plain white lady vase. I had no idea they were ever painted in other colors. But last summer I found a blue one at a flea market. Then one day I spied one
on a shelf in Becky's blog.. she was pink and yellow! I made a comment to Becky, and she told me she would keep an eye out for another one for me. Well she did find one that was all pink.. which is just as wonderful to me. It came in the mail last week. So I really could not let these little three wait all the way till spring to show off. THANK YOU BECKY!
You want to see more houses popping up? Man.. this should somehow be reported on the financial market.. this housing boom. They are all over blogland. I have eight done so far. The trims are only pinned on at the moment, but you get the idea.








Have a terrific Monday...

Morning Eileen those as so darling. I STILL haven't made 1...I will though promise. I've thought about the fabrics a lot. :-)

How lovely to have a set of those ornaments. I wonder if there is somewhere where you can find out more about them like how many colours they were made in?

3 very nice little ladies it out there in th garden. Lovely!
And yes the Wall street should learn how to build real houses and the financial pain would not be happening. Cute way of thinking....
Stay happy!!

Pink you say, Pink and silver glitter are an all year thing, you can never have to much! I love your cottage houses, I only have 4 done and I am never happy with my work! I may do a few over so they are just right, 10 1/2 by 12. Hmmm, I tend to have my own size, I need to work on that!!
