dreaming of a pink Christmas

I am dreaming of a pink Christmas, just like the ones I used to know.

Yes, really. From a young girl to now, love pink for Christmas, well every color really.

Well, ok, pink the best. Another pic from my Brayton Homestead Interiors 

guest post at Pink Saturday.

What is your favorite Christmas color?

weekend

Wishing everyone a lovely weekend. I took this precious little girl's photo a couple of weekends ago at the Bristol R.I. Quahog Festival. With her mother's permission of course, is she not adorable?

I plan to wear many hats this weekend

and a pretty dress too!

time to spend with Krumpet

listening to music...

bike riding, etc...

perhaps I've planned too much?

Enjoy,

and have fun.

Precious baby doll pink

Could you have resisted, I could not. While browsing through French Cupboard's online store I glanced upon this dreamy vintage bonnet...

Instant love, had to have it. I love soft pink, oh- maybe you noticed...

Just included my vintagechic etsy shop on French Cupboard's beautiful site...

thanks and have a great weekend!

Love

I love to use handmade hearts for photographic backgrounds. Don't they look beautiful under the jewelry? I am celebrating Valentine's Day with love, jewelry, Paris and always pink...

LOVE

is full of glitter!

(photo from archives do not remember source)

Love for me, also, is almost anything French. Don't you love this bed? The screen behind the headboard looks like open hearts...

and this grand building I loved in Paris,

If ever

architecture could say love, this one does!

The grand archway relief detailed like the most beautiful of wedding cakes

the soft pinkish brick contrasted to the gentle patina of the limestone,

Happy Valentine's Day, and may it be

FILLED WITH LOVE!
