Cottage & Family:
pink friday

I went to the Dallas World Trade Center today to just walk around and get inspired ~
It is full of the latest trends in home decor and I was kind of surprised to see the French Farmhouse look literally everywhere ~
I like it alot although it kind of reminds me of about 20 years ago to some degree ~ I guess decorating styles come back ~

This Friday, Katies Rose Cottage and the shops at Make Mine Pink are doing "French Farmhouse" for the Pink Friday theme ~

Here are a few pics that I took at market today ~

It is time for Pink Friday with Katies Rose Cottage and Make Mine Pink ~
The theme this week is "Coming Up Roses" ~ I was so excited about this theme because I love roses (obviously) ~

We are also part of the Blogger's Friday Flea Market ~ you can see a preview of our flea market items here and all of the items here ~

Have fun shopping !

This Friday join Katies Rose Cottage and Make Mine Pink for our Pink Friday shopping event ~

This week's theme is "In the Hope Chest "

I remember when I was a little girl going up to my Great Grandma's attic ~ it was filled with treasures from years and generations past ~ it was so much fun to hear the stories of each treasure lovingly put away in trunks and chests ~

When I was in High School my mom and dad gave me a hope chest that I filled with special linens and other things that I would someday use in my own home ~ these were things that my grandmas and mom would pass down to me or things that I collected that I loved ~

Have fun shopping and dreaming ~

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 Katies Rose Cottage and the Boutiques at Make Mine Pink for our "Stitches in Time Pink Friday on Sept 26th. You will find cherished items stitched with time and love.

Make sure and sign up on our mailing list for a special tomorrow to go along with the Pink Friday event ~
