Pretty In Pink.




 
Any old excuse to buy roses is fine with me and when l saw they had stacks of them at Aldi's for Mothers Day, l couldn't resist buying some bunches in different shades of pink :-))....anyway they inspired this very pink, girly frou frou post... 
 
 

The lace tablecloth was a piece of coffee coloured fabric that l threw into a petal pink (rit) dye bath. The dye wasn't taking too well over the coffee colour so l threw in half a bottle of cochineal as well, which did the trick nicely.

 
 
 
 
The parasol which was originally white ....l dyed blue a while ago....l'd planned to overdye it pink eventually, so into the dye bath it went....now a pretty mauve... oui :-))
 
 
The crocheted bag was also tossed in (it was cream). 

 
The kitchen table looking like a florists on Mothers Day.
 

  

 
My chubby little buddha....you can't help but smile when you see his happy face.

  3. Bron, I love pink, it's no secret. This post is deliciously pink, amongst other beautiful pastel colors!! You are so talented with your dye! I get so excited with each of the projects you recreate with dye! I remember my mother using Ritz dye when we were younger. It was an easy and incredible way to change the decor, or fix an unsightly stain. Such a wonderful product when used with an artistic ability.

    I am mesmerized by the beauty of the second to last photo. You must've photo shopped/edited the color? It's gorgeous. I had to PIN it!! Love it! xox
