Seeing Pink!

In honor of Valentine's Day, I am showcasing all the pink homes here in Cripple Creek. 
I have often wondered on the frequent walks I take around town, why there are so many pink homes. 
Was there a sale on Pretentious Pink at the hardware store?

 

The Reveal ~ Parts 1 & 2

The Reveal ~ (I always wanted to say that - makes me think I'm a member of Ghost Hunters.)

Two of my Swap partners have received their goody boxes, so I can reveal the contents now. I made a small pouch (with a few chocolates hidden inside ~ 'cause all Valentine gifts have to have chocolate!), a vintage style Valentine, and two heart shaped sachets which had been stuffed with lavender buds (which came from my garden). And on each of the sachets was a vintage red chandelier prism.

This is what was in Wanda's Valentine Box. She also received a hand sewn gift tag.


And this is what was in Sharon's Valentine box. She also received three prim roses.


Here's a close-up of some of the sachets.


My third partner hasn't received her box yet, so I can't reveal the contents.

A Wonderful Valentine

I received a Valentine from another of my PWGL Swap partners, Wanda Clark. She made me two wonderful covered hearts and a box of fabric yo-yos. {Gomez had to see as well...}


One of the hearts is covered in Halloweeny fabric and the other is pink and silver with the most intricate design - I love designs like that!


And the yo-yos are all made from Halloweeny fabric. (I love the fabric, don't you ??) And would you believe there are thirteen of them ?? My lucky number! How did she know?? I wish you could see her stitches. They are all so small and evenly spaced. She does beautiful work.

Just so cool! Thank you Wanda! You're a sweetheart! Happy Valentines Day to you!

What I've been up to...

I haven't been sitting idle since I posted my last art piece in December. I have been elbow deep in lace, beads and vintage style Valentines! It's been oodles of fun! I can remember helping my Mother make these types of Valentines when I was a kid.

A couple of the Valentines are for Swaps



and two of the Valentines are now in my Etsy Shop . Feel free to take a look!
