Pink Saturday Valentiney Greetings!

Guess what??? After 7 years my attic guestroom is finally, finally painted.  I’m beyond grateful to my husband because it was hard to paint.

There’s not one square corner in here – take it back…there is one but it’s not square!  I’m taking pictures into the light so they’re sort of glowy.

I’ve been putting the room back together today and first things up were my banner from the very first Paper Cowgirl and then:

My YaYa picture.

That’s me in the middle…when I was skinny! Aren’t we fabulous???  haha This was a card from the girls when I had a hysterectomy about 9 years ago and I finally took the poster and made it into a hanging so it can always be out.  (LaVerne….always posing!)

so back to the room  -  Maxine in her bunny slippers.

Oh I love this loveseat but I had it upholstered 20 years ago and I can’t stand the fabric now so I’ve rigged a “slipcover”.  I really want a white cotton duck slipcover which costs more than a new loveseat but this has a down cushion and I can’t bear to let it go!

This chair was Kathy’s who gave it to Barbara who passed it on to me.  It’s bulky and heavy but I can’t part with it either.

The back of the door.

I love my collection of Madonnas.  In fact, looking at these pictures almost everything in here is sentimental to me.

 

A shelf of Christmas pictures.  That’s my little Q grandson who is 13 now!

And my Brandon grandson – 16!  Those are his little white suede shoes and bowtie from his uncles wedding.

 

 

 

And since it’s Pink Saturday my Pink Cuckoo clock!

 

My husband made this table for me in the ‘80s – it’s a heart.  He made it from scratch and painted the vines.  I’m attached!

I was only going to have the twin beds out but I pulled out the trundle because the YaYas are coming!!! I could pull out one more bed but Barbara sleeps on the couch downstairs with the ceiling fan.  So it’s Judy, LaVerne and Patty up here.  The fan is for Judy, Patty needs a heating pad because she freezes and LaVerne just passes out in her signature “corpse” position!

Everyone gets a snuggly.

 

I’m washing the quilt for the third bed.  I think this is looking sort of beach cottagey.

These are a plate of my itty bitty books….

 

So… Happy Valentine’s Day from me and my faithful dog Iris who was behind my every step today while her sister Lilly Louise played outside!

Thanks to Beverly at How Sweet The Sound for getting us all together for this Valentine Party.
