MAKEUP FOR MATURE SKIN

Did you know that there is actually a pumpkin  called a pink porcelain doll pumpkin,it's a hybrid. Okay so one night I was sitting at my computer and thinking....hmmmmm wonder if they have pink pumpkins? I mean they have green pumpkins,blue pumpkins,white pumpkins,peanut pumpkins...why not pink. So I google searched it and sure enough there are pink pumpkins! I knew I had to find one of these pumpkins so the search was on. And so I found one,at Walmart of all places! This was the only one at our local Walmart. But I wanted one more...so....I drove to yet another Walmart and found this one.

Since I will be adding new items to the shop weekly I am going to start adding a weekly post sharing what's new in the shop. For this week I added  lots of color to the shop starting with these bottles. The color on this old seltzer bottle is amazing isn't it! I love the shape on this particular bottle too! This lovely greenish blue color is also going into the shop. Yes just like the other fabulous bottle this is also a vintage seltzer bottle. These look great in a group. This bottle is a little different,no it's not a seltzer bottle but looks great if paired with those other bottles I shared. And the top is unique too as it is porcelain. This lovely Plateau mirror would be perfect if adding those lovely bottles on top. I love the reflection of glass through a ... View Post
