The Icing on the Cake!

Don’t you just love the fluffy pink and white frosting on this cupcake? The polka dot liner isn’t too shabby either!

It’s what makes it look so tantalizing! 

That’s how I feel about décor.  There are just certain embellishments that are the “Icing on The Cake”!

Last weekend I made a cupcake liner garland to use with my Valentine Décor.

It’s a bit hard to tell, but it has both white and tea dyed paper doilies.  Pink, turquoise, white, and silver liners small and large tempt you for a tasty treat.

Bits of vintage lace and a bow hanging from the middle.  This one is very old fashioned looking.  I think that one made from bright reds, pink and whites with polka dots would be so cute also.

I’m thinking that I will hang it from my blue cabinet in the entry. It will soon be filled with a bit of pink depression glass, as well as some new pinks and old browns/

Wherever my garland ends up, I think it will be the “Icing on the Cake”!

Now to show you my other pink project I completed.

A while ago I picked up four old chenille pillow shams at the D.I. for $1.50 each.  Two were pink and two were yellow,

Look what I made.

A fun pink chenille pillow with a flower on it.

Now if you ask me, a pink chenille pillow all by itself is pretty darn cute.  BUT the flower is just the “Icing on the Cake”!

Now for the good news.  In case you hadn’t noticed, I reached the 300 follower mark.  I am so amazed.  Really never thought I would ever even have 100.  I have loved getting to know so many of you out there in blogland.  And SO enjoy your comments.  Really, they are the hi-lite of my day.

I will be giving away a pink chenille pillow.  Yes, it will have the ‘Icing on the Cake” flower.  All you have to do is become a follower.  This is a must.  After all, this is a way to say ‘thank you’ to all of my wonderful followers.  Then leave a comment on this post.  Be sure and tell me that you are a follower.

That’s it.  Pretty easy peasy I’d say.  The give away will end at midnight on Jan. 27th.  I will announce the winner on the 28th.

Till then,

Hope you’re having a pretty pink day!

Jann
