At the shop we continue to prepare for next weeks upcoming Cupcake Fest. ( It's a good excuse to buy more flowers than usual for planting.) I spent Tuesday morning with Susan at the nursery picking out blooms for the window boxes and planters.(It was over ninety degrees!) I spent Weds. changing out the window displays. I had found some fun plastic wipe table clothes, cut scallops edges in them and hung the cut table clothes to create the illusion of awnings in the windows. In years past I have gone with deep purples and reds, when choosing the combination of plants for the window boxes.I can't imagine why I was drawn to the pink shades this year? Hmmm?I love the combination of green and pink!
Of course I put cupcakes in the windows....and decided less was more. For more pink fun join Beverly at Pink Saturday...click on the button in my side bar.
