Many months ago I had come across Elyse's wonderful cottage shutters that she was making and selling on her ETSY. They were just the perfect touch to add to the guest bedroom, which I am slowly reorganizing - a "spring cleaning" project in the making. For now I have them leaning against the wall but eventually each shutter will go on each side of my favorite green cabinet.A girl just HAS to have some PINK somewhere in the house!
When I was a little girl I had to have PINK things! My beloved Nanny (which, by-the-way, today would have been her 99th birthday) made sure I had PINK things...be it dolly clothes, a crocheted stuffed animal or clothing).
When I was a little girl I had to have PINK things! My beloved Nanny (which, by-the-way, today would have been her 99th birthday) made sure I had PINK things...be it dolly clothes, a crocheted stuffed animal or clothing).
Her favorite thing was to remind me of this story:
She had a bulldog by the name of Chipper. Well, Chipper was often times on the smelly side - by this I mean he would rip out some nasty smelling ffffffttttttssssssttttttsssss! You know, the silent BUT deadly rips!
One day, and I remember this as if it was yesterday, the deadly wafting of Chipper's ffffttttssssttttssss met my nostrils! I looked up at my Nanny and said, "Nanny....it that were PINK it would've smelt goooood!"
As I became a grown woman, Nanny would often times remind me of the PINK fart story. (teee heee).....
Many moons ago I posted about this old chippy white cabinet that once stored towels in our bathroom. For now it holds old quilts and rosey vintage tablecloths.
This time of year our lovely climbing pink rose bush is full of gorgeous blooms that smell like "PINK"!!!!......soooo wonderful!Have a rosey weekend!

The memories of our Grannies are often so dear to our hearts.
The pics of your scotties are super. I miss my little Katie McDougal.
Thanks for this post.
I agree.. pink smell is only good. :-) Can't wait for my roses to bloom like that.. soon!
Your new shuters are going to be wonderful in the room.. I love that look.
And ok.. this is crazy.. but that flower pot up in the birdcage?.. is that plain cream colored with a ribbon around it?.. like mine??
:-D
I used to have a whole set of four, but now there is only one.
Everyone needs a little pink for sure. Especially if you're surrounded by men and stinky dogs. Mimi
Great pink post and so funny too.

Maybe Fiona needs a pink collar.

Great post!! Needed it. Your roses are so pretty!!
I know what you mean Becky. I got a new quilt for the bed, it is striped and there is a hair of pink (well I think it's faded red actually...) but I added a pink floral pillow and some pink peonies. I just had to have some pink back for summer. I hear ya sister!!
Hugs,
LeAnn:)
Yep, my pink room is Darby's. It's a fun array of pinks and greens with pictures of dahlias that I took over in Carmel. I agree every house needs pink! :)
thats hilarious! I LOVE the little shutters...and the blog link is adorable! And I know what you mean...anything pink would smell wonderful!
I liked your pink post! I'm patiently waiting for my roses. A few weeks to go!
Oh, sweetie, just looking at those roses makes me drool. I won't see mine blooming at least until the end of June...sigh.
Boy, I know what you mean about those stinkies. My darling white kitty produced one the other night that I would call "green". Ooooo, it was awful! Didn't bother her a bit! It was MY nose that was closest to the "offending area".
Those shutters are wonderful and I am headed over there to see if there is something I want......... I have just transplanted a pink rose and I am soooooooo hopeful takes root and once again gives me much joy of many pink roses......
Love the pink fart story! I was laughing out loud. Your pink pictures are so pretty. I look forward to seeing your shutters in the guestroom. laurie
HE HE HE ...you said fart! :)
~Liz
P.S. love the shutters!
Oh...you are so funny! Mixing pink together with a funny fart-y story! (I happen to think farts are extremely funny and even though it's not very ladylike, I laugh hysterically at them!) VERY NICE pictures to go with the stories! I love, love, love that cabinet and the gorgeous blooms! YAY for pink!
XOXO

(And we used to have a gorgeous dalmation who could fill a room with dread after his famous pppffffttttt, I will never forget that smell, rest his precious soul!)
Oh my! What gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous shutters! Simply charming! And they call for window planters, right underneath.

Hi Becky,
Love your shutters! I have always loved the look of shutters may it be inside or out. You Pink story is so funny!. A fun post.
Enjoy your day,
Elizabeth
I love your little cupboard. I have some of those sweet lady planters too. Every gal must have a little pink somewhere. Aren't memories wonderful? The rose is just breathtaking. I just got a new pink double knockout rose yesterday. If it does as well as my red knockout it will be full of blooms soon until November. Have a great Monday.

What a wonderful post Becky! That is a sweet and oh so happy memory!
Grace is all about pink as you probably know so we are PINK here!
I just hoped over to the ETSY shop and fell inlove with the green shutters. I ordered them and hope to use them in the upstairs bathroom! TOO cute!
Oh that Fiona sweet face!! Seeing her just makes my heart happy!!
Love,
Sue
I love All Things Pink! Your pink pretties are wonderful. I haven't been by in awhile and wanted to say hello~
Blessings today~

Ha!! Kids say the darndest things, you little cutey! I think it's great that you have loved pink since you were a mere little lassie. I love pink too, but have serious doubts about a pink dog fart smelling any better than the usual colored ones, ROFL!
Smiles, Karen
My new kitty could compete with Chipper. I picture your grandmother laughing over and over with your pink comment. Too cute!
Also really cute is a good tug of war between Scotties. You need to make a video!
Great pink fart story, and cute green cupboard! But that rose, is outstanding! Do you know what kind it is? I would love to get one myself!!! Would you let me know?
Thanks - hugs from Michigan
