I was just thinking how much I love pink & gold as a combo. It's becoming a recurring theme every holiday.

Last night I was playing around making a gift collage of some of my favorite things using Polyvore (A bit of a time waster, but sure is fun making collages!)

Here is my first attempt at Polyvore. I'm hoping that next time I can figure out how to make it interactive! Also, I think if you click on an item, it will take you to the Polyvore site. Oh my, I am still learning...

Find the Photo!

It's that time again to play "find the photo"!

This lovely image of a pink and gold French chair has been floating around Tumblr with no photo credit. Gosh, I would love to put it in my house. Isn't it divine?

Anyone want to take a shot?

MYSTERY SOLVED!

In less than 12 hours!

Thanks to Shilo at Yikes Machine, this amazing photo is by Jamie Beck via her beautiful blog, From Me To You.

I love this game!

What Color Was Your Room?

Remember when you were a kid... your girlfriends had either a pink or a blue bedroom? Perhaps one of your cousins may have had a yellow room, but they weren't as common. It was easy. Pink or blue? Which were you?


I was a "pink" girl and still am. I swoon for the color pink, even though nothing in my house is pink except for my day planner.

I thought I'd share some pretty retro images I found online since I'm in "pink" mode. Let's go back in time for a moment...

Perhaps you lived in a pink house...

and rode a pink bicycle...

You couldn't wait to go to the fair or carnival and eat cotton candy and candy apples...

If you were like me, after school my friend and I would walk two blocks to the big corner candy shop...that was the highlight of my day...

birthday parties were the best...especially the rose-adorned cakes..in pink, of course

Did you type your book reports with a pink typewriter?

and dream about your wedding day?

I always imagined bridesmaids dressed in pale pink, and funny...mine were. Well, actually it was fuchsia pink!

What fun it was going to the movie house...

or the drive-in theater...

or taking a cruise in your pink car?

Now we're all grown up and times are different, but some of us still have a passion for pink...Do you?

Tell me...was your room pink or blue? I bet you remember!
