Happy Pink Saturday

Spring has sprung for sure today in beautiful Southern California, and WOW, a perfect picture for Pink Saturday. This is my ornamental Plum tree in my before spring cleanup backyard , this tree is always my favorite blooming tree in my yard, but it only stays like this for less than a week, because as soon as it blooms, the Santa Ana winds come and blow off all the blooms. So, with Pink Saturday in mind I caught some pics before its blown bare. Isnt it just BEAUTIFUL?!!


This week has been full of pink for me. Back to junking and repurposing once loved items so they can get more love by someone else :)

As always, I want to Thank Beverly, for Hosting this fun Pink Saturday. http://howsweetthesound.typepad.com/my_weblog/

Some of my Completed Projects this week

It has been the perfect week to be working outside in the paint. First of all, I love bringing new life into
past loved items. I know there is someone out there that will love them again.

Earlier this week I posted some of my junking finds, and due to the most beautiful weather, I was able to get alot done.

THis is one of the little lamps, a little bit of paint and a new custom shade , so cute. and then the little perfume bottle next to it, all victorianed up. And remember the tired looking brown table, All it needed was some fresh paint, a pretty Catherine Klein Roses Decal, and a pretty pink glass knob, which I ordered, so I guess technically its not done, but I couldnt resist sharing.  There are a few more things in their final stages that Ill share later.  I hope you enjoyed, and come back soon. Check out my ebay for some of these prettys available, plus Im making custom lamp shades too.

Hope everyone is having a beautiful Pre-SPring Day!!

Our Adopted Kitty

I dont know what it is around here, but for some reason, the cats just love our house. About 5 years ago, a beautiful gray cat adopted us, just showed up one day and never left.

Recently another beautiful Teenage Cat showed up, we tryed to discourage him from staying, he belonged to someone, Im sure they missed him. We hung signs around the area, and contacted the animal shelter, but no one claimed this dear little guy. He didnt want to leave anyway. I told my little guy to not get attached to him, because he did not belong to us, he was just on a journey passing though. But it has been 3 weeks now, and he isnt going anywhere. Last night I found him in my older sons bed. I just couldnt throw him out in the 30 degree cold when he was so warm and cozy curled up next to my son. So now what?  He is so friendly, he isnt afraid of anyone, he gets into everything, and I mean EVERYTHING. I found him up on my china cabinet playing with a champaign glass that my son gave me, that I hadnt put away yet.  He drinks out of the toilet,,YES,,he does! Craziest thing Ive ever seen. he chases a ball, he flips, he jumps out from behind the coach and grabs your leg, he chases the light of a laser pen. And he is a lovey. My oldest son gave him a name, even after I told him not too, HE ISNT OUR CAT!! But now we call him Bagerra, I guess its a character in the Jungle book, The spelling may be wrong too, I have no idea where or why that name, but now it fits.  So now we have another cat that has Adopted us. If we dont hear from anyone for a couple more weeks, he is going to be fixed.  For now he is a guest in our house, with his own food, his own bowl, and a feast last night of freshly cooked rotissorie chicken. What more can a cat want.
