Pink Ironing... Pink Reading... and Pink Toolboxes!

FIRST - PINK IRONING

Ironing is a breeze on this combination step stool / chair / ironing board. It blends into the 'cottage' nicely with its little pink flowered chair pad and IB cover... The wood was originally stained dark brown, but I took some white paint to it and I like it much better now...


When it's time to iron, I just tilt the top, tighten a few wing nuts and - voila! Instant ironing board... (Flip it over all the way and it's a step stool.)


It sits in the 'awkward' corner (as I call it) of our family room, always ready to provide extra seating if necessary... I've had it for about 6 years now and, boy, I don't miss the days of lugging the old ironing board out of the closet to set it up. This is pretty effortless!

SECOND - PINK READING

You must pick up the latest copy of ROMANTIC HOMES if you love pink! I got mine at the grocery store today... Just look at that gorgeous cover - it's from a wonderful spread on Cathy's home, beautifully decorated for Christmas! You can visit Cathy at Treasured Heirlooms.

THIRD - PINK TOOLBOXES

Back in September, I posted about my pink toolbox, and several people commented on it.

Well, last week I got a "Collections Etc." catalogue in the mail, and look what they have in stock! Just click on the photo to go directly to their website....

Or they have this style as well... Again, just click on the photo to go right to their website.

Now I know you are wanting to see lots more PINK today, so be sure to visit Beverly at How Sweet the Sound, where you'll find her PINK Saturday item as well as a list of all the other participating blogs... Happy PINK SATURDAY everyone!!!

Guilty pleasures....

There is nothing more relaxing than a balmy summer evening, sitting out on the deck and flipping through my latest magazines...


Last night at Target I picked up the latest issues of Romantic Country, Romantic Homes, and Garden Gate (as well as some AA batteries and cat food, but they're not as pretty to photograph or as interesting to write about!)...


I spread one of my old vintage tablecloths over the patio table, put my sweet basil (for the smell) and impatiens (for the color) on the center of the table...


...and made a cup of iced coffee in one of my favorite oversized mugs.... Now it's time to sit down and pore over these inspiring magazines. So relaxing... So simple... such guilty (not!) pleasures...
