**** I WENT JUNKIN ****
2 days in a row ! WOOHOOOO for me.
On saturday i dragged my sis to some garage sales and yesterday i dragged poor Sam and Shane to our local Trash and Treasure Market.
A weekend full of junk, what more could you ask for.

Heres my wonderful treasures i brought home with me. All of them will be available in my Website or my Ebay shortly.

Every girl needs a corner wot-not to display some pretties on. This one will be getting a sweet n shabby paint job.
And isnt the frame gorgeous. I need to get painting dont i !


I was bummed that the 3rd table in this nest was missing but Oh Well...they will still be great when im finished with them.
The pink draw will be great for storing bits and pieces....here comes the paintbrush!


Ahhh this mirror was the best find. Its sooo heavy and beautiful. Im undecided whether to paint it and rubb it back or leave it as is....what do you think? It does have some cracks here and there.But isnt is divine!



Well looks like ive got lots to keep me busy hey!

I better hop to it then.

luv n Hugs,
Shann

BLING YOUR BIRDHOUSE

Celebrate Spring with Beth and Karla for their

“Bling your Birdhouse” Challenge!
(Otherwise known as “What do you LOVE about your birdie’s home?”)


This is a SELF-linking and SELF-swapping challenge.
Show photos on your blog of a birdhouse you have embellished, in any way your artistic heart desires. If you aren’t an artist, you can share pictures of your favorite bird’s happy home.


***** SO LETS GET STARTED THEN SHALL WE *****


Well Girls....., I CAME, I SAW AND I BLINGED !!!!

My birdhouse was pretty gosh darn BORING when i bought it from a tatty ole shop..seriously folks my heart ached for this birdie house...i just had to buy her and BLING her up.


SOOOO..without further ado....My Bling Bling Birdie House :)

Click on any pic to enlarge them.


The roof tops are covered in pearl glitter (and so is my kitchen now...oh actually i shoud say permanantly.)


Can you see the lil' birdie inside the top nest? She's keeping watch for naughty kitty katts....she knows i have 5 of them lurking around.


Are you under the assumption that i like pink and roses??? LOL


Hmm...you think i went a tad too far???
NAH of course not. You can NEVER EVER have too much pink, mint and roses, oh and of course SPARKLE !!

It's Good To Be Back.

A big Hiya, Howdy and Hello !

It's so nice to be back, ive missed all you girls so much :)
I want to say THANKYOU from the bottom of my heart for all your love, caring and support these past few weeks, and in particular this past week as i have struggled to come to terms with the passing of my sweet friend Sharyn.
I know that Sharyn would want me to continue smiling and enjoying each day with my family so that is what i shall do !
I have also found that head down and back to work is great therapy!
So i have some sweet new items on their way to the website over the next few days that i hope you'll just love.
On saturday night my girlie friends and i got together for a 'giggle night', we all needed it so much and we had a ball. It was SOOOO GOOD to just relax, laugh and remember.....
Heres a snap of me and my bestie Kylie :)




Onto EASTER now.

every year i tell myself not too much chocolate for Sam....ahhh what the heck but, its easter and well we have plenty of toothpaste in the house! LOL.

This year the easter bunny left footprints in the form of powder through Sams bedroom. Great idea huh? Yes well maybe if my Sam was not so cluey..."Mummy these footprints smell like your powder in the bathroom" (he runs to bathroom, gets the powder).... "Now come and smell them" UH OH....ok so i am made to get on the floor and smell them "Oh yeah they do a bit dont they..." ok think fast woman... "You know what Sam? I think the easter bunny was tired from all that hopping and he had a shower in our bathroom and used my powder!" The response? head tilted, finger tapping on side of face as he considers this....."Yes well next time you better lock your powder away mummy"....ahhh nice save.

The very questionable footprints...LOL


Sams rather large stash.....


Having an Easter Egg hunt at Aunty Traceys house :)


I hope you all had a safe and happy and MMMM CHOCOLATEY easter *hee hee*
I know i did!
I think my butt grew overnight! Either that or someone shrank my pants (oh yeah i think i'll roll with that one...)

Back in a day or 2 with some sweeties and eye candy for you!

Lots PINK KISSES being blown your way!

Much Love,
Shann xxoo

Hello everyone, this is Coll posting for Shann, who is not up to this at the moment.
Shann wants to thank all you wonderful gals who prayed for her friend Sharyn for her recovery.
Sadly, Sharyn lost her fight on Saturday & today she is with our Lord. Shann is devastated as they have been friends since they were 5 & in kindy together. We are all trying to come to terms with her passing, it was so sudden.
I am sure that Shann will post when she can & will thank you all herself. I thank you too.
Coll.

It's all about Pink isnt it.....

Hee hee, for me, no truer words were spoken! I am a PINK-A-HOLIC and proud of it.
Every time i am shopping i gravitate towards pink...all the time.
So when my lovely husband offered to buy me a new light fitting for our bedroom.....what do you think i went for?? You guessed it..PINK !! Well really lets face is, is there any other colour that matters? LOL
So heres our new light fitting hanging oh so pink and pretty in the bedroom.


Then of course i just had to choose one to go in the front room (aka The Pretty Room) as well. We just have wall lights at the moment but i really NEEDED a HUGE dome chandy to hang from the centre of the room. Notice i said i 'needed' it..*wink*
Heres a pic of it from the stores catalogue as we havent had it put up yet.it's from the same collection as the other one, with the frosted pink glass...ahhhh i love it so....


I cant wait till it's up!

Next on my agenda was to finally cover this gorgeous lil' footstool ive had in my 'To Do' basket for a while. Ive popped her sort of half under the coffee table...crossing fingers and toes that the cats dont discover it and think OOOH Mummy made us a pretty bed...grrr, i love my cats but geez.





Isnt that fabric TO DIE FOR !
Im covering a gorgeous old Victorian chair at the moment with it....just waiting on more fabric to arrive then its all done and off to the website she goes.
Oh ok you twisted my arm...heres a sneaky peak :)


So are you all pinked out now? LOL


Oh, when you're out blog hippity hopping next, please pop by my friend Bek's blog @ BeksShabbyDreams and say a big howdy hiya hello. Beks reasonably new to blogging and i bet she'd love you to pop in! She is a real sweetie and makes some yummy faux treats too!

Thanks lovelies xo

Big Pink kisses
