Pink Saturday • Shabby Support • A Giveway Message

A very happy Pink Saturday to all!

I have been having fun this week giving little birdhouses shabby makeovers for cute chenille chicks.

Buying these little chick brings out the crafty kid in me! They're so cute!!! A big thank you to Beverly for organizing another pretty Pink Saturday.

Support Shabbyness: Vote for The Painted Cottage in New Jersey Life Magazine

If you have read my blog more than once you probably know that my favorite store is The Painted Cottage. Sure, it's about 6 hours away from where I live but it has become a must-stop on visits to my family in New Jersey. I blogged all about my trip there just after Thanksgiving and you can read about it here. Lots o' photos! GASP!!! The couple who owns the store(s) (home, studio, cafè) are wonderfully sweet.

The Painted Cottage has been nominated in New Jersey Life Magazine for the 2009 Reader's Choice Award! It is such an amazing store. You can show your support by clicking this link and voting for The Painted Cottage.


Even if you have only done some browser browsing, I'm sure it counts. Please show your Shabby Support!
