Sometimes do we have to do something totally different….

A couple of weekends ago did we go to Bakersfield, CA for the 17th Hot Rod Reunion, it was so much fun!!

We saw some awesome vintage Top Fuel Dragsters and nostalgic Funny Cars. The races were running the whole weekend and on Saturday evening over 60 nostalgic race cars cruised on the drag strip for the highlight, "The Cacklefest" drivers revving their engines, flames shooting and the nitro flowing……….how sweet can it be!!!
My personal highlight was to meet and talk to Gene Winfield, the legendary custom and hot rod builder. Gene is over 80, still building cars fulltime and racing on the salt lake……..what a fun weekend we had!

We have a winner in the Website Giveaway!!! Congratulations to Rita Perkins you won the Personal Tea Set below. Thank you, to all of you that entered and left so many sweet comments about our website, this was so much fun!

Please join us Friday October 24th for "Coming Up Roses"

"I’ve never seen a rose I didn’t love. From the first blossom of spring, gently swaying in the breeze, to an intricately stitched needlepoint, rich in history, I love them all.
Roses represent so many wonderful things and are often used to celebrate special milestones such as weddings, births and anniversaries. Roses have also been used throughout the centuries in estate and cottage gardens, home décor and fashion. Milliners used silk roses to embellish the finest hats, while seamstresses stitches the richest brocade drapes adorned with roses. Throughout the years, famous artists have studied and painted every aspect of the rose. Antique lithographs and post cards from the 1800s grace our homes today with their everlasting beauty while roses continue to gracefully fit every lifestyle and décor."

If you have a soft spot for roses, won’t you please join us for PINK FRIDAY at Make Mine Pink on Friday October 24th. The boutiques at Make Mine Pink are pleased to present “Coming up Roses.

October 3rd "Office Chic" this week's PINK Friday 'Shopping with a Twist' theme.

When you look around your office, what do you see? Most office furniture is drab utilitarian, designed for function, but not beauty. The good news is, with a little imagination and the right props, you can create a chic office space that can be more than just an office, it can be respite just for you. It's all in the accessories. Add a chandelier, a floral display, pretty fabric organizers, chic storage boxes stacked in the corner, perhaps even a pretty, slip covered chair and ottoman. Awaken your senses - listen to the rustle of silk curtains blowing in the breeze, feel the smoothness of a hand painted desk, smell the scent of a flickering candle, gaze upon a basket of colorful ribbons while doing the most tedious of tasks. Make your office so much more than just an office. Let it be your sanctuary, your inspirational spot to create, a quiet place to write a letter to a friend, a place to get lost in a Victorian novel, a place to listen to music or maybe just a place to feed your soul.

Join the MMP Boutiques & Sisters Gift Company on October 3rd as we present "Office Chic" this week's PINK Friday 'Shopping with a Twist' theme.

"Stitches in Time" event September 26.

Stitches in Time; tiny stitches holding the hem of a linen napkin, stitches intertwined to make the most delicate lace, stitches crocheted by the smallest hook, stitches through canvas strengthened by wool yarn. It's these stitches created out of love that adorn a bedspread crocheted for a granddaughter's wedding, a sampler commemorating the birth of a child, a fine table cloth made to entertain the most important guests and family at Thanksgiving. Each of these stitches has survived the test of time and is so much more appreciated today as gifts from our past and treasures of our future.

Join the Boutiques at Make Mine Pink & Sisters Gift Company for our "Stitches in Time" event September 26. You will find the most cherished item stitched with time and love.

A couple of weeks ago did I get tagged by

Jennifer of Cottage Flair,
so here we go, seven things about myself

1. I’m born in Sweden and moved to California with my Swedish husband in 1993, it was scary and exiting at the same thing. So many new things to learn, such as how do you pay your bills, a whole new way to measure and weigh things (in Europe everything is based on the metric system), I quickly learned you don’t bag your groceries, well I didn’t know …….and the list goes on.

2. I bought my first Crockpot ever last year and now I’m a Crockpot addict, that is one of the best things ever invented, I use it several times every week and I’m not sure how we could survive without it ;0)

3. I have only owned one pair of high heels in my whole life and will probably never own another pair again, give me a pair of sandals and I’m a happy camper.

4. I was a vegetarian for almost 10 years and what gave me in was I craved smoked sausage of all things and some other weird stuff that I can’t mention here because it would grouse you out………

5. I bought my first motorcycle in 1978, my Harley in 1980 and I still own the same Harley today. Don’t ride it that much anymore but I do fire it up once and awhile for a short ride.

6. My only run-in to a famous person is that I sat next to Lorenzo Lamas on a shuttle one time.

7. We don’t have any kids but we do have two spoiled rotten Kitties that rules the house!!

Gotta have a little bit of Bling!!

... a little pink bling, maybe a little vintage bling. How about some rhinestones and pearls~ anything thing to please the girls!This week Make Mine Pink & Sisters Gift Company presents "Gotta Have Bling" for PINK Friday. What will the boutiques offer? Visit Friday August 22 to find out. Some bling will be waiting for you.

I just run out of steam for the last Pink Friday, I had so many things I wanted to do and nothing got done!! So, to just perk me up a little this weekend I worked on some tablecloths that I have found lately. After the tablecloths got a good soak and a wash they ended up on our front lawn so the sun could do its magic to bleach out some of the stubborn stains.

View up the street from our driveway

I also went through some of the picture from when I went to Sweden in May and thought you might enjoy seeing some more pictures from where I grew up as I kid, I hope you will enjoy.

Down at the lake, spent countless of hours down here as a kid

Apple blossom with the old house in the background

The wild blueberries were blooming

One of the neighbours cottage peaking through trees

The last morning, the day I went home the elves were dancing on the lake

And the winner of the Towel Cake is……..

becky up the hill, congratulations Becky!!

Otherwise not much new over here, just been a busy weekend getting husband ready for his new job which he started today, yeah!! The best part is, it’s only 5 minutes from the house instead of 1 ½ hr commute one way…….

I just added quiet a few new item to the Mini Tea Set category in case someone like to take a peak.

Wish you all a fabulous pink week!
