The First Pink Lady of TV

I know who you mean...You know the rich lady who wears pink, whats her name?? She lived on a farm with all the funny men, you know?? Green Acres! She always wore big jewelry and a boa, I know...Zsa Zsa!! No it's her sister Eva, "darling". I found some great shots to share, I passed on the promotional pictures when she posed in green. (what were they thinking, green?) anyway enjoy.
I ran out of time or I would have pulled up a shot from a visit to the Love Boat, oh well and maybe that was Zsa Zsa anyway. This last shot of Eva is my favorite, nothing like a great black and white. I will let you imagine the dog and robe are pink...for more pink fun join Beverly at Pink Saturday by clicking on the picture in the side bar.

(a little Zsa Zsa, Eva want to be)


Happy Pink Saturday, Darling!

Just Two Girls...

...Out On The Town. I drove to New Jersey today. I took my fifteen year old to get her braces taken off. We left early, arrived early and I had a smiling partner all the rest of the day. Lunch, shopping, sweets and then....darn it! lost again! I even got a GPS for Christmas. Mr. HiHo named it "Rita" because she rita-da-map. She had us going in circles, however I do believe New Jersey wants you to go in circles. Possibly a plot so you buy more gas. Anyway, I now have a very happy girl, hmmmm, how long will that last at the age of fifteen? Ha! Was able to pick up some great props for the summer themes and was glad to have the day with Aubrey. We were just two girls out and around and around the town.

Not Just a Regular Pink Saturday

This is what started as a regular Pink Saturday post. Photos of bunny golden books that we sell. With Easter only a day away I was going to focus my post on HiHo's baby room. Known as Highchairs and Hiccups, the baby room has a lot of the colors of Easter.Sweet pictures of pink quilted throws, backpacks and boxed toy tea sets.

I would tell you to click the Pink Saturday button in my side bar to visit more pinks and to meet Beverly. Post a few images to represent the Pink baby items in the shop and I would be done... Until... well, you see the story goes something like this...I have a very close friend who came home from out west. A blog friend to many of you.

She is home for Easter visiting her husband , dogs, my family and me too. The glasses are a clue to who this friend is... Humphrey spotted her first! He adores her... She loves this baby doll and had a hand in marking her price up high , so not to sell.( Her plan worked)

Claudia! Yup, pictured here with her two favorite baby's at HiHo.

See... now wasn't that better than a regular Pink Saturday? Claudia and I enjoy our time together, I'm so thankful she has been able to come home. It's only a short visit but at least we will have Easter together. Be sure to visit her at http://mockingbirdhillcottage.blogspot.com/

Happy Pink Saturday!

A Grilling Display

Determined for the warm weather to arrive, I set up this fun patio grill display. The grill is a vintage 1960's piece. I'm sure used with much pride by it's previous owner.

Set on stone mats and surrounded with fun outdoor entertaining garb, the grill is great as a summer fixture in the shop. But you know I won't keep it...it's priced to sell.Perfect for showing of our private label dressings, wooden handle serving utensils along with some gift baskets. I love the Patio Daddy-O book, it's full of great tips, recipes, but best of all vintage photo's of Dads grilling. The picnic basket has a full set of plastic dishes and flatware, and when it comes time for a quick clean up... Dad can use his handy dandy matching ash bucket!

How great would your Dad look flipping buns on this one?

I've Got a Secret, nah, nah, nanahna.....

My poor sign, high winds really did it in this weekend. It's a duct tape nightmare. Not to worry the sale will continue even if the sign doesn't! The wooden leg even split...maybe I'll get some fancy colored duct tape? HaHaHa... Anyway, stop by and visit...you don't want all the tourists to get the deals. I put pink tags on tons of items, I need a lot of things to go so I can start some exciting projects. With the movement this weekend in the shop, it's increasing my excitement about the new colors and themes for each of the rooms. I'm trying to keep the new changes a surprise, but you all know how I can't keep a secret. Trust me, big changes! I'm sure if you stopped by you could squeeze it out of me...or maybe not?
