So Shabby Pink Happy Spring Jar in Pastel Colors

Happy Spring!  The weather was nice this weekend and I planted some tomatoes and flowers.  Pictures to follow.  I just needed to get my fingers in some dirt. 

Just reminding you of our pretty rose studded jars. You can see them here.  They are fashioned in that chic and cottage style we all love so much.  We have lots of pretty spring colors and if you have any specific color requests, let us know.

Hope you are doing well. Have a good week!

So Shabby Pink - I love Housey Blogs! Share your favorites!

I LOVE housey blogs!  I love seeing how others decorate their homes.  Guess that is why I love estate sales so much.  We get to go inside!! I love seeing renovations, especially those with before and after pictures.  I love the fact that blogs let us see into others' homes without even taking one step out the front door.  

Here is one of my favorite DIY bloggers.  I mean, she is truly a DIYer!  She has power tools!  

http://www.thriftyandchic.com/

Her entry, "Shabby Chic Framed $5 Door Mirror" is a good example. 

You can read how she did this HERE.

I really do admire folks that are not afraid to express their own ideas, even if they are different from everyone else.  

Hope you will subscribe to her blog!  She does post frequently and it never disappoints!  GREAT DIY blog!

I would love to see what your favorite blogs are!  I never get enough.  Post a comment and share!

Thanks for stopping by,

So Shabby Pink New Wall Decor

I know it's back to school time for all the kids.  That hopefully will free up some of you ladies to do some things you may have had to put aside this summer.  ALSO, cooler weather is on the way!

It's still so warm here that some of our flowers are still blooming.  This is an Angel Trumpet.  It blooms during the cooler hours and they fade away during the warmer part of the day.  These blooms are about 7 inches long!

One of our newest wall plaques.

I am trying to find time to make pillows!
Hope all are doing well.  Thanks for stopping by.

So Shabby Pink - Have You Seen This Fabric ?

Hello! 

I posted this picture a little while ago talking about how much I love this room.  No, it's not mine but I surely can try as hard as I can to reproduce it.

I need y'all's help.  I am looking for the fabric in this pillow pictured below.  I have been searching the internet for a long time.  I've looked through Etsy, Ebay, and lots of fabric websites.  The flowers are dogwoods and the background looks gray.  I am not sure if it is bark cloth or not.  

If anyone out there finds this somewhere, would you let me know, please?  I would forever be grateful!

So Shabby Pink - Cottage Shabby Coastal Everything I Love Room !

I just LOVE this room!  I have seen this picture more than once in my favorite magazines, Romantic Country and Romantic Homes.  The colors are so appealing.  The vintage bark cloth pillow is just the perfect touch.  So shabby chicy. So coastal. So peaceful.

My problem is that I am fickle.  I mean really fickle.  I might create a room just like this and then see something else I like and might even be ready to change it all out by the time I finish the first color scheme!  Am I the only one like this?  It's kind of frustrating!  

I want to make a room like this for our home!

I hope all of you are well.  I decided to go for a bike ride in this 102 degree weather but I take plenty of water and my CELL PHONE!  I laugh when I think about that as I did get overly zealous last summer and had to call my husband to come rescue me.  Me dork sometimes. 

Have a happy Thursday evening!

CUTE!  I've been making some of these adorable cell phone purses lately.  Over the years, I have collected fabric and lace and have so much I want to use. 

There is a very brilliant rhinestone piece in the center of the rose.  Just love the look.  This is a great present for a good friend or even for yourself.

This chic little purse measures: 9" X 5-3/4"

Zipper is at top. Big enough to carry your phone, ID, keys, compact and lipstick too.

This bag is available on our website So Shabby Pink.



So Shabby Pink - OMGosh....We Finally Have a Shelf

HELLO!

I've gotten requests for years to come up with a shelf, but we just couldn't get to it. This is finally our first one and is very simple. Very chic. Very shabby. Straight lines studded with our signature roses and some very large rhinestones!

12" X 5-1/2" X 6"
24" length available soon.

That pretty jar on the shelf is our new tea light candle holder.  Coming soon!

Hope all of you are doing well. It is already Spring here in the south central part of the USA.  I planted tomatoes and squash yesterday!

Have a fun weekend!

I LOVE THE BEACH!!

Nice boat ride down the river.

My favorite seafood restaurant.



I think I am ready for spring!



I have LOTS of DIY projects for this year. I am almost finished with the slipcovering project that started....mmmm, years ago!

So Shabby Pink - Morning Glory Beauty

Good morning!

I think we had a little rain last night here in south Texas! The air smells fresh and like wet grass.

I love Morning Glories! I plant some seeds each year at the bottom of a lattice trellis and they grow strong --- as long as I water them

every day.  That is a must here with our Texas summer heat.

Once it starts to cool a little, they start to bloom. They sure are beautiful.

Hope you are having a good Saturday morning.  Enjoy the day.

Thanks for coming by....

The last day to order for Christmas is December 4th.

So Shabby Pink and Perpetuum Jazzile - Africa (live)

OH! You have got to watch this! Another choir member at church, Julaine, sent this to me. Make sure you watch it to the end though. It starts out with "rain" and then they continue on...... All the percussion sounds and what sounds like background music is actually people. :-) Turn your speakers up!

So Shabby Pink Happy for Another Year

Well, I am blessed to have had another birthday! I am always grateful for each and every year I live. My mother died rather young and I just don't take birthdays for granted.

I always want shrimp for special days. So, we made some shrimp and shrimp and shrimp kabobs and survived grilling in this awful Texas heat wave.





My family and I have reached that point where we ask, "What can I get them?" so we have resorted to food! My sister sent me all these goodies from Whole Foods Grocery in Georgia.

AHH! My favorite! My husband made me a yellow cake with chocolate icing. He was kind and didn't put candles on it.

Now that July 4th and my birthday are over, it's time to go back to work! It is so hot here in Texas though, that I just don't want to get out in the garage to paint. It was 103 degrees at 6:30 pm tonight. I will be glad when this high pressure system moves away from the state of Texas!

I often paint standing at the kitchen counter during these summer days! This does slow me down a bit, I must say but it beats the alternative.

My husband built this nice solid wood box for me when I was making soap. It was supposed to be a soap mold but I never used it. It is now a great holder for wash clothes or personal items on your romantic vanity.

Hope you stop by our website, So Shabby Pink. We have some great new things coming.....
