Great Cleaning Tip-
Cleaning a pan that will not come clean, use a fabric softner sheet. Helps clean the tough stains. Works wonderful on the stove too.

Planning a tea party or just having friends over?

This Thrifty Chic has a trick for a room smelling like a rose garden.

Use a old pot, fill halfway with water. Add your favorite scented poppouri, my favorite is Rose. Set the stove on simmer and let the lovely scent fill your home. Indulge yourself into the tranquillity of a garden.

This adds a wonderful touch for company or just to read a book and relax.

My New Friend & A Pillow

My New Friend & A Pillow

It was a week before Mother's Day and I was browsing through Ebay. I saw the prettiest pillow, I bid on the pillow & to my surprise, I won the pillow. I was so excited. A couple of days later the package arrived. When I opened the package it was wrapped in beautiful paper and said Happy Mother's Day. My heart melted, it was the loveliest surprise and a thoughtful touch. That was when a new friendship started. The pillow was the prettiest pillow I had ever seen, it was perfect and reminded me of my kids and the dog heading to the pond for a day of fishing. It had touched my heart and made me smile.

Now BeverlyJean sells her beautiful work in Shabby in Pink Boutique. We chat just about everyday, we have so much in common. Two creative women sharing what we love to do.

Welcome 'Shabby Chic Pink Ladybug Designs'

I believe that the pillow was meant to bring a wonderful new friendship.

"Old friends are always best,

unless you can find a

new one to make and old

one out of."

Thank You BeverlyJean, I am so glad we met.

A Tip to the Vintage Look

Shabby in Pink Tips

I just love the vintage look. I would say that I am a Thrifty Chic. This goes out to all the Thrifty Chics.
How to make the Vintage Look-
Purchase a set of pretty and inexpensive sheet sets. Gently bleach the sets till you have your desired hues. This can work for just about anything from sheets to tablecloths.
