Rescue your creative spirit!

You know it's there, you are tired or just don't have enough time to do everything on the to do list. Let me make it easy for you to be in touch with your creative spirit.

I have created the first of my new craft kits. Easy to do. Fun for you and your family.
Get out the glue gun and let's create the Pink Christmas you are dreaming about.

This craft kit is a pink or white satin Christmas stocking. The stocking comes all sewn together and you do the fun part! Decorate.

It can be turned into a Christmas pillow (as seen in picture, poly fill not included.) or used as a stocking. Embellishments come in a reusable white box lined in white tulle. The box has a self adhesive for shipping a small gift. Love to recycle.

Supply is limited. Lilli Blue's Vintage Rescues is made up of rescued goodies. Embellishments will vary when these run out.

Just 24.99 with 2 day air shipping of 4.80. Left over embellishments may be turned in to gift tags. 6 plain pink tags with lace frills included in box.(not pictured) A surprise in every shipment!

Let's make this a great holiday. Get creative and have some fun! A CD of relaxing music in every box. Your creative spa awaits at Make Mine Pink.

All the shops at Make Mine Pink have wonderful products at amazingly good prices. We are a group of women who are rescuing customer service. You will get extra goodies in every package from the shops at Make Mine Pink. It's like shopping at your best friends! Come visit in your pajamas, LOL. http://www.makeminepink.com/.

Shopping at the Roadside Boutique!

Those of you who know me know that I have a way with dumpsters. It is not the most delicate of my pass times but it has a sweet new name "The Roadside Boutique". I can't remember which of my dear friends came up with that (was it you Inka?) but if it is you leave a comment and I will give you credit for a glamorous name to my garbage addiction.



I found this old chair out by the trash bin behind my house. She seemed to call 'Rescue me"as I got in my car. When I came home to find her still sitting with her shabby arms and tired old faded fabric... well she ended up in my work room.




I have a large collection of fabric samples. A friend's Mom used to save them so they wouldn't end up in the land fill and give them to me. For years I have made the most lovely colorful things from these squares.














This is the tag off the collection of samples I used for this project. A wonderful chintz stripe in several different colors. I never recovered a chair before. Oh... I have done the seat of a kitchen chair but never a whole chair.

The blond wood chairs were also out by the bin in the back. I have 4 of them and the matching magazine rack and book shelf. Each day a new piece appeared and each day I carried them up to my work room. The Law of attraction was providing me with new furniture! I just love that. The final result was a great new look for my work room and a wonderful purpose for my documentary print sample squares. This whole project cost me $3.75 for a box of little nails and gave me a wonderful sense of satisfaction.
It isn't perfect but it works. LOL Hot glue and nails and a great determination to do it were my tools.

My vision board was a gift from my secret sister Katie. I love it! Thanks Katie, it is now one of my favorite things. I will be adding to it and hanging it proudly on the wall when the room is finished. Note that I put the tag from the fabric on the vision board to inspire me all along the way. Stay tuned and you will see the final result as this room gets a paint job and is turned into a great place to create treasures for Lilli Blue's Vintage Rescues . Have a fun week and be sure to visit us at Make Mine Pink for Romantic Bed and Bath Pink Friday! Blessings, Lilli
