September 19-20, 2008

This weeks Pink Friday theme is “Nifty Nursery”! I made all kind of items for my babies for their rooms and had so much fun doing it. So I couldn’t help but create some treasures for this friday.

Since I also love making christmas items I just had to come up with a Baby’s First Christmas ornament. The lettering is hand painted by me.

The ornaments can be personalized and come with extra vintage style tags.

These cute little pillows are to hang in baby’s room or on the door knob. they are woven with vintage style trim and decked with my handmade roses, I even painted the lettering. check out my site to see more! visit Make Mine Pink this Pink Friday for more great boutiques featuring baby items

Friday July 4th be sure to take time and visit the particioating shops at Make Mine Pink for a twist on shopping. This Friday’s theme is Romantic Roses!! OK, do I know how to make roses or what!!!!
Here is a peak at a few things I have cooked up for this Friday.

Romantic Candle stick holders

Pretty mini purses for romancing your home.
And of course there will be lots of roses of every variety!!

It is show and tell Monday at Make Mine pink. Here is what I have been working on this weekend. This weekend I finished making the weeks batch of hand painted roses, I make about one a week. I also made another batch of the locket necklaces with the anitique buttons. I did a different clasp this time, this one features my handmade rosettes.

Most of the ivory roses are sold already along with a few of the pinks. I will be starting another batch in a few days.

I love how this batch of lockets turned out.

One of the lockets sold before I had all of them done. I will be listing theses tonight. Contact me through my site or e-mail me at info@meadowstreet.com to reserve any items before listing.

A few more pairs of earrings and a bracelet, more coming soon.
I will be listing roses later today through tomorrow.

This tussie mussie pin went fast!! I was only able to get three more dozen of the filigree at the moment, they still need to be plated before I can make them. I should have them plated in a few weeks, contact me to reserve one, I will be able to make them in any color. i am plating most of the filigrees for the tussie mussies in antique gold.

OK, who wouldn’t want to wear a tiara? Make Mine pink is having a tiara contest. In order to enter you must make your tiara and take a picture of you wearing it. I hope to have a tiara cram session this weekend. The winner get the following:

This year Joyce lucas, founder of Make Mine Pink , has been chosen to recieve an award from Country living Magazing 2008 Women Entrepeneur. This weekend, March 15, she will attend the Country Living Womens Entrepeneurs to recieve her award. At the convention Karen from Sweet Necessi Teas, Sharon from Cest Chouette, Dianne from Mamas Pocket Book, and Roxie from Business in the Bag will be pitching their product to the Country Living panel. This is a great honour, way to go girls!!

I started making these along time ago, it’s been a few years since I made up a batch. I just love them. They are handpainted out of 100% silk fabric and then texturized and sewn into a rose.

I just started listing them on my site Meadow Street and should have more listed this weekend.

My Friend Tina at Garden Goose is having a giveaway in honor of leap year and her magazine Small Town Living. Oh how I would love to live in a small town where there’s actually some space around you. We’re packed in like sardines here in California. It was worse when I lived at the beach. Yes I grew up in at the beach in So. Ca. I went from walking distance of all of 5 min to driving distance of 45 min. I miss the beach, but it is very crowded and expensive. It would take me 20 min to get to the grocerey store that was 1 mile away! I also have a front and back yard and a big garage which is rare to have living at the beach. Small town life does sound good though.
