pink

For my birthday I got some pink pretty things.  I am actually a grown-up, but I do also like these things.  I have worn the swallow hair grips quite a bit, and the pink rose earrings, but I haven't got around to making any heart-shaped cakes yet.

And a few photos of more pretty pink things.

found at casa pinka

I want these pink glittery shoes so much.

colourful interiors

I  had saved some rather nice colourful pictures and as it has been a cold cloudy grotty day and we haven't moved very far from the fire I felt like some bright and breezy interiors 

I really liked this simple unfussy but colourful and pink display here at design sponge

 I am rather embarassed as once I had put all these photos on my blog from various folders they mostly seem to have come from one source, that being casa pinka.  I hope you don't mind me re-blogging all your pictures.  Oh! she is a woman after my own heart.  I do love pink, it is so pretty and if it wasn't for the fact that I have to share colour decisions with a male the whole house would be pink, out side and all.  Apparently the outside of the house was pink and purple at one point in its history.  I would have liked to have seen it.

Another casa pinka find.  Hers was one of the first blogs I ever looked at and I was very pleased to find that she is still blogging and still pink obsessed, I do admire her style.  Big fan, Big fan.

and here as well, a lovely sunny room.

Aha, this is from a different source but alas I have no link.  

 Those chairs are v cute

I think this is so striking, the big teal wall, and the big portrait in the bedroom, and the pretty cushions.  Fab.

 I guess this is shabby chic, little bits of diffuse colour, all very tasteful and sweet.

this makes a nice change form all the monochromatic kitchens around and is also from casa-pinka.  Not sure how long I could live with it for mind you, it certainly is eye-catching. 

 not officially an interior but nonetheless it is colourful, and pink.  Oh how I would love some seating and table like this on my deck.  It is utterly divine.  Although we have painted our house boring neutral with white woodwork and darker grey-brown window-sills I have an inkling to paint the back window-sills and the back door this shade of pink.  It would hopefully perk up the fairly dreary and utilitarian back of the house.

hot pink

We woke up to the pinkest sky yesterday morning.  My photo skills don't show it to its best and most pink, it reminded me of this material.  I bought it in an op-shop about 15 years and am still unable to make anything out of it because it is so pretty, I don't want to waste it.  It also has pink peacocks on it.  I saw some at the V&A  museum in London once many years ago ( I think ) .   it's from China.  It sits on a shelf in my work room, and will probably fall to pieces before I make up my mind what to do with it.

These top photos are from the book fresh fruits.   I just love the cute fantastical outfits they wear, and would love to dress like this, but am a little too old I think.  They also wear the crazy wedgy cartoon like shoes.
