wallpaper emo

Happy Pink Saturday everyone!  Do you ever see something and your jaw just drops because it is SO pretty?  Well, that's what I did when I saw this vintage 1940s wallpaper roll.  It is one of the prettiest things I've ever seen.  And I just had to share it with you on Pink Saturday.  And I'm willing to share it with you in a literal way if beautiful old wallpaper is your thing.  You can purchase a yard or more of this rosie beauty right here, right now.



The pertinent information is as follows:  the paper measures 20 1/4 inches wide and is UNPASTED as was all wallpaper from this era.  It is in excellent condition, not at all brittle.  It will arrive rolled up, in uncut lengths based on how many yards you wish to purchase.  The color on the close up picture is the most accurate depiction.

PRICE:  $12/yard which will include shipping to U.S. addresses.  If you are out of the U.S., please email me and I can let you know how much extra first class international postage to your location will be.

When you click on Add to Cart, you will be redirected to Paypal.  At that time, you may indicate the quantity of yards you wish to purchase. Quantity is limited, so don't miss out!

Thank you for indulging the merchant in me.  I might also add that I have begun selling on eBay again after a 4 month hiatus, seller name french*laundry.  Check it out when you have the chance as I have some truly lovely feminine antiques.  Perhaps we can manifest spring by looking at everyone's lovely offerings over at How Sweet the Sound where Beverly is hostessing another fun Pink Saturday.  Stop by and enjoy on this snowy weekend.

Until next time,

Happy Valentine's Day and Happy Pink Saturday!  As we prepare to share a day of love with our spouses, boyfriends, and significant others, I thought I would share a little of my home decor with you.  The sweet little bisque doll above has her quiver at the ready just for our special romantic day.



These little sweeties grace a bookshelf that, until last week, held primitive salt glazed crocks.  I think this better reflects who I am right now.  I smile everytime I look at these little darlings...

Love Lady Gaga. Love MAC. Love pink lipstick. So needless to say, I'm loving this. For those of you not familiar with the MAC Viva Glam campaign, 100% of the proceeds of VG products go to the MAC AIDS fund.
This color is really nice. It's a lustre formula, but the payoff is great. It's very shiny and can be applied sheer if you use a light hand, but the color builds very quickly to a very noticeable, but wearable pink.




The release date for this seems to be different all over the place. So just call your counter or store if you're unsure of it's availability. But it is available at maccosmetics.com already.

My current favorite nail color...



Essie's Damsel in a Dress

Such a deep, unusual color. Looks amazing when topped with a super shiny topcoat like Seche Vite. It creates this gorgeous, shimmery depth. Love it.

...Also, I'm a sloppy painter when it comes to dark colors. Don't judge.

*While Beyonce's skin is darker than mine, I used the same shades and intensity of gray on my eyes. So it looks a bit more intense on me. However, if you have skin that is lighter or more fair like mine, you can definitely tone down the intensity of gray. So substitute a lighter gray eye shadow and base for the darker shades for a less-intense effect.
