A Mooooving Pinknique Saturday with ~Catherine de th`e Cups!

Thanks Miss Sweet Beverly for hosting another special MOOO~VING Pink Saturday! ;)
Once you leave my place, be sure to moooove on over to Beverly's to catch the many other hundred Pink Theme Shares today... at "How Sweet The Sound"

On a Whim.....I visited this lovely little place in Leesburg, VA last Saturday with my dear friend, Kathleen Ellis, of "Kathleen Ellis Life Style Designs" . It's one of her favorite places, one of mine now too. The only down side is that I live in GA. =( So, my visits truly will be "On a WHIM" when I go up to visit! (teahehe!)

The "baaaaad news is that they wouldn't let me bring a camera in to share some really cool items I found....but, the Mooooooo~ving Good news is that I was able to take a few pics outside!

A vintage outdoor chair painted Black with PINKNIQUE'n Pink Polka's...talk about cute! And for the really MOOOO~ving Pinknique look, we had this...

a PINKNIQUE Cow with Black Polka's & Pinknique Milk Cans! Now, get yourself "Mooooo~vin along to Sweet Beverly's now to catch all the other Pinks today!

What a cutie pie this lil "cow" is, eh?

Those are the cutest polka dot things I think I have ever seen. It must really be one fantastic place, with that kind of chic sense of style. Hugs, Marty

Hi Catherine! I love your mooving experience! This was so cute. Now that wasn't very nice of the shop folks to not let you take pictures inside. It's really an advertisement for their store, isn't it?
Oh, yes, I'd love to lunch with you too!!
Be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)

Oh, I mean to tell you this everytime I come to your blog and just keep forgetting it! Your chandelier in your header looks so much like mine in the dining room! Go down my side bar and see it.
Continue to be a sweetie,

It is now time to purchase undercover equipment and get yourself back to this store. No photos inside, what is with that. Free advertising does not appeal. But the outside was marvelous and thank you.

Happy Saturday to you...
