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 the Boutiques at Make Mine Pink for our "Stitches in Time" PINK Friday event, September 26. You will find the most cherished item stitched with time and love.To view all the praticipating Boutiques in this weeks PINK Friday Event, visit our PINK Friday page.

Harvest Home at Pink Friday!
When I think of a Harvest Home it conjures up many memories of my favorite time of year. Memories of cinnamon potpourri simmering on the stove, homemade apple pies in the oven from apples hand-picked at our local orchard and memories of family and friends gathered around the fire sipping hot spiced cider and making plans for the upcoming Holiday season.A glance out the window, framed like a fine painting, reveals the tree lined streets ablaze with colors so rich and vibrant that it beckons you out of the cozy warmth of your home to explore and experience every nuance of the season. The crisp fall air surrounds and teases you with the a waft of smoke from a neighboring chimney. It becomes a game, guessing the type of wood burning, each with their own distinct fragrance.Every color and scent of the season brings a flood of old memories and begins painting new.You quicken your step to get home. Home to the cozy and inviting warmth of the fire softly glowing in the hearth of your Harvest Home.Warmest Regards,Joyce Lucas, Founder of Make Mine Pink

Time to renew our souls and refresh our minds. Sweet peace at last.Join Make Mine Pink for our next PINK Friday event as we present "Romantic Bed & Baths" on Friday September 5.
Show and Tell Monday at MMP
I found this ole' picture and frame at a resale shop. I fell in love with the photo of the women bathing in a old tub, look at her cute shoes. I shabbed out the frame with white paint. The corners of the frame is embellished with old brooches, earrings, and buttons. I thought this would be perfect for a shabby bathroom. Amazing how a old treasure can be made into a piece of art.
Wishing you a Happy Labor Day!

My sweet friend Angel
On June 11th, Angel was diagnosed with terminal cancer. They only gave her a few days, but she fought with everything she had and lived another month. I was amazed at how strong and good spirited she was. Her beautiful children and family stood by her side every second. I was so happy to have the chance to visit her many times when she was in the hospital. Angel is the one in the blue and yellow jacket smiling. She had a beautiful smile and a beautiful heart. She was a nurse and cared for many people through her time. She also cared for my father n law when he was sick. She talked with me about what a wonderful man he was. I am so thankful to have known such a wonderful person. We had many memories together as growing up in our teens. Angel, we will miss you and love you always. Thanks for being such a special friend. I will see you someday.
Show and Tell Monday at MMP!This is a collection of some of my vintage jewel collection. I just love and admire vintage jewelry. In the first picture there is a silver bracelet with a Victorian cameo. This was my Aunt Ruths, I wear this all the time. Very special to me. Next to the bracelet is some vintage compacts that I have for sale on my site.
The second pic has some vintage rhinestone brooches and a unique green stone necklace.
One of my favorites is the pink vintage roulette souvenirs from Vegas and the old hat pins.
I think women back in time had a lot of elegance and class. And I admire the past so much that I swear I must have been a southern belle in a past life.
Happy Monday dear friends! Have a beautiful day!
Show and Tell Monday
Today I thought I would share a picture of my parents house in Ohio. I have been so busy and have had no time for creating. My parents moved back to Ohio from St.Louis about 6 years ago. This is there dream. The land has been a part of my dads family for years. The street is even named after my great grandmothers last name 'BUNCE Road". As growing up, this is where we always came to visit. My grandmothers house is still on the land infront of my parents. It is sad to see that grandma does not live there anymore and it remains empty. The house is very old and is in need of great repairs. I think my parents are planning on having it torn down. The land is so peaceful and full of nature. There is a pond through the woods that my dad, brothers, and my grandfather dug by hand. I love to go fishing down there. I remember my grandma and her friend Perry showing how to prepare a fish for dinner. My kids love to go down there, the tradition has carried on.
I am so happy that my parents have built a beautiful home on such a wonderful land. I hope they enjoy it there as much as I love visiting.
Happy Monday!
I will be traveling to Gallipolis , Ohio tomorrow. My 94 year old grandmother passed away Saturday evening. I was hoping to see her this week and was planning on leaving Wednesday. I feel like I should have visited her before she left. I am happy she is not suffering anymore and know she has found peace and comfort in heaven. I will miss her very much. I think the hardest part is going to be tomorrow when I come up her road to my parents and pass the home where she once lived for years. I have had many fond memories there. I hope she knows how much I love her and how I will miss her. I will remember those memories forever. I love you Grandma!
