Pinkadilly Moments: my grandaughter/ the computer whiz/modeling a vintage wedding gown

my first etsy sale

I'm so excited!  Just sold my first item on etsy!  Thank you so much, Gabrielle.  I still plan to show my latest thrifting finds, hopefully tomorrow if I can figure out how to download(or is it upload?) pictures.  Also hope to add more to etsy.

wow!!!

The gdaughter has gone home and I'm on my own so-----can I actually do this?  Here goes.  In case any of you are interested, I also have an etsy that my gdaughter made for me.  It is BeedeePinkadilly.  When she was just a baby, the gdaughter started calling me Beedee so that's what the gkids call me.  Thank you all again for the nice wishes.  Bloggers are the best!  I'll try to post some pics tomorrow of my latest thrifting finds. 

A Few Random Pictures Around My House

a sweet little Royal Doulton figurine that I got at a thrift store for $3-I didn't realize what it was until after I bought it--just liked it because it was pink.

Hopefully, you can rotate this but I don't know how to (yet).  Anyway, this is a little cupboard I fill for each season, still on Valentines because I haven't gotten the Easter decos out yet.

OPTIMISM!

Ditto!

This is a wall in the livingroom --am seriously considering painting the livingroom pale pink.  What say you?

A beautiful bouquet that my younger daughter (we have 2, and 1 son proudly serving his country in the US Army)  sent me for my birthday.  LOVE IT!

Thank you all so much for the sweet comments and the encouragement.  Grandaughter goes home today so I will be on my own for awhile (gulp!) Hope I can do this.  As for you all who asked about the gown, I am considering selling it even tho gdaughter wants me to hold on to it for when she gets married (in the very distant future, I hope) but I've pointed out to her at that point, she may not be the same size and also may want something different.  Will post here if I decide to sell.  It is a gorgeous gown w/ lots of lace, covered button, and pearls.  So, here are a few pics from around my house.  As you can see, I am definitely shabby chic and love pink.  Also, am being very optimistic about spring coming soon.

My First Post

Hi--this is the first time I have ever posted so please bear with me.  I've been wanting a blog forever but did'nt have the foggiest idea how to start.  So tonite my twelve-almost-13 year old grandaughter was spending the nite.  We went to see Justin Bieber (Never Say Never) and then she came home with me and proceeded to set up this blog.  The girl is a computer whiz!  I wish I knew how to do half what she can.  By the way, the JB movie was super!  He is such a talented cutie!  I can understand why all the girls are CRAZY about him.  So here I am, attempting to blog.  Wish me luck and I hope I can do some things with this that are as interesting as some of the blogs I follow.
