Little Pink Girls and Awards

Several years ago I worked in a gift shop , and you know how you do when you get an employee discount, You find yourself buying things that you might not have a use for , but because you think they are pretty or they might make a nice gift someday ,you start collecting something.







Such is the case with these little figurines.



They have been sitting in this corner cupboard in my guest bathroom for the last year.



Before that they were in their boxes packed away.



But now I'm thinking they need a little respect , they need to come out into the living room.Look how sweet they are !







They each speak of Spring .








With little touches of pink and roses.











Yep ! They are moving into the living room !








Don't you think so ?

Linking up with Beverly's Pink Saturday at How Sweet the Sound .




Today I was given the Liebster Blog Award by My sweet and highly talented blog friend Cindy from Cindy's Fractured Fairy tale .
She is a very talented artist , and craft person, and has a humorous outlook on life.
Thanks Cindy !

What is the Liebster Blog Award you say ?


Well it is an award created to recognize cool and amazing blogs with less than 100 followers.

The rules of the Liebster Award are as follows.






. It's an award handed over to your favorite 5 blogs that have less than 100 followers.

.The one who receives the award post the links to the person who gave it to them and five of his/her favorite bloggers with less than 100 followers.

  11. Hi Sharon,
    I love your little pink girls, yes take them out and show them off!!!

    Just look at you girl, your blog is growing and growing and I knew it would. I'm just proud that I was one of the first to discover sweet you.

    I'll drop by and see the others too.

    To answer your question about painting large pieces. I usually try to roll on the paint to get it started and then brush over top for a more textured look. It is all just a matter of what works best for you.

    hugs
    Sissie
