I am tickled pink because I scored some awesome old wood windows at the dump...I have so many ideas! I need to go back and buy the rest. There was a chair calling my name too, but I am not sure I am ready to tackle a reupholstery job! My friend got the 2 best scores...it is good and bad to shop with a friend with similar tastes!
So, I will see ya on Monday with all kinds of ways to improve my blog (maybe, hopefully) or at least a full nights sleep (maybe, hopefully)

For today some fun stuff I found and the spotlights!

NOW...on to BUSINESS!
The Antonio Treatment ran on HGTV after one of my favorite shows, Design Star. I LOVE this show! And, well, I love Antonio - yeah, I like a bad boy {didn't marry one though!}...I think he is dreamy {in a tattooed designing dude way}. He won me over with his Bright pink painted birds last season...
{photo above from HGTV}
...and then he painted a room purple {I have a purple living room!}, and well, on his new show, let's just say I cannot wait for more of him...I mean his designs.
Check out this wall of reclaimed wood! I have watched this part of the show at least 4 times. You will be seeing this in my house, my garden, anywhere I can sneak it is. L-O-V-E! Sorry for the photo quality - I could not find one photo online, so I took photos of my TV - I felt so 13 again! Now I need to go record some songs from the radio and try to sing them.

You will totally rock the bootcamp! I hope you love it. I'm not even the teensiest bit jealous......... :D
ReplyDeleteHave fun at bootcamp!!! I can't wait to hear how it goes! I am going to have to try the s'more pie and chocolate drizzle coconut cookies!!!
ReplyDeleteWoman- you must NEVER sleep!
ReplyDeleteI am tickled pink by all the things you have shared and will be busy all weekend following them up.
Will keep my mind off garage saling which I am trying to cut back on. Saving up for a village wide sale Labor Day weekend. Going alone so no one can tell me I don't "need" (such an odd word) that.
You will have the best time at Boot Camp and being the generous person you are I look forward to learning much from you in the months to come.
I watched that entire Design Star season, and I totally remember those pink geese!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the Canvas People! I have 4 from them!
Wow.. there are so many things to be tickled pick about!!! That smores pie ~ holy crap!!!
ReplyDeleteI love working with old windows too.. there is a place near buy that sells them for 8.00 a piece.
Have a great weekend

I know how you are going to feel about leaving your 3 year old. I have a 2.5 year old and would be stressing about it. but, you know she is going to be fine!

ReplyDeleteHave a blast at the workshop!
Yaaaay! Not only do I see my blog when I visit here (you've made my day again!) but I also see those snazzy pink ducks that I loved so much on Design Star last year :)
ReplyDeleteHi there! Your blog is new to me and I love the idea of being tickled pink. I have lots o' crafty items on my blog, but since you said it can be anything, I'm linking up my latest post because my brother sharing his Mt. Everest trip has me tickled pink (and wanting to hear more from him!). :>
ReplyDeleteI really enjoy the Antonio Project too! How can you go wrong with hot pink birds?! :>:>
That painted Hungry Catepillar has me wanting to bust out the paints again with my wee girl.
Glad to have hopped my way here (from Liz @ a belle, a bean, @ a chicago dog! Have a wonderful weekend! :> (Oh yea....following you now too!)

ReplyDeletexoxoxo
It's amazing how many cool things and sites you find and feature... you are awesome. Have fun in San Fran, I was planning to go until last month when I had to change some priorities!
ReplyDeleteHolly I have got to tell you.....first I love design star, and second, Antonio ROCKS! I loved what he did to that cupcake shop, I mean seriously that was the coolest makeover I have ever seen...even my husband was into that episode! Well anyhow, I knew there was a reason I liked you....Antonio gets a bad rap, that dude can design!
ReplyDeleteP.s. Have fun at boot camp...I miss it so bad and want to do it again!
ReplyDeleteYour blog has sooooo much candy it's unreal : )
ReplyDeleteNow I've been stalking you for awhile now, waiting to link up. I've been slow at it, but I'm here. I'm a pinky no doubt about it lol
Leaving your 3 year old is really really ok... You'll need it being in boot camp.. never heard of a blog boot camp Holly.
Ok I'll be visiting the girls tomorrow.
Hope your having fun.
Love Claudie from Canada
xoxo
P.S. I'm so very sorry you lost your dear friend. I didn't know Lisa, but I had just started reading her blog when the oil spill happened, then Trish took over then... well I'm sorry ; (
First, Thank you so much for the feature from last week! It's so fun to see a project amongst so many great ones!!
ReplyDeleteSecond, I accidently have my PB Cupcakes from this week on their twice, I can't even explain how it happened in the process of searching other fun links, so feel free to ignore it...or delete it, I can't find the little x to do it myself....err! Can't wait to continue exploring. :O)
National s'mores day sounds like just about the best day ever!!
ReplyDeleteI've found you...how? Not sure..LOL You know how it goes when you are visiting for one reason and see something interesting.
ReplyDeleteYour Tickled Pink caught my interest...I feel the same way about craftgossip. I could stay there for days. I like the cookie stamp too.
Have fun at your bootcamp and hope being away overnight goes smoothly.
I'm going to link up for this week even though it's Saturday.
I'd love to have you drop by for a visit too.
Happy Day,
Stephanie ♥
Hi Holly,
ReplyDeleteI really wanted to go to bootcamp too, but I was too chicken and too afraid that there would be a lot of "big" bloggers there and I'd feel awkward the whole time! Maybe next time I'll gather up muy courage! Hope you are having a great time!
Holy cupcakes and treats, Batman! I am gaining weight just looking at them! I have to take a closer look just the same.
ReplyDeleteHey Holly, thanks for following me back on Twitter (which i have finally given in to);
ReplyDeleteI've just linked up a post about something I did last week when I was feeling a bit low and lonely... sent out an open invitation to anyone within driving distance to come for a tea party at my house. It was great - I totally recommend it! (Think I'll have to do it again some time)
Thanks Holly!!
Glad you are back from camp and I hope you had fun.
ReplyDeleteHey! I want to hear more about the bloggy bootcamp! I would be nervous too to meet people in real life- will I come off as I do in my blog, or what? I think it sounds awesome though. I hope your husband did okay! :) (and you)
ReplyDeleteI love your Tickled Pink post. It was great meeting you at BBC this past Sat. You certainly didn't seem to have any reservations about you little ones at the after-party at Slide :) Thanks for popping by. If you need a featured blogger I'm always available!
ReplyDeleteHi! How are you?
ReplyDeleteEverytime I come over, I am impressed at the AMOUNT of work you put into your posts.
You really do stand above most blogs.
Wow. and Thank You. SO much loveliness here.
Hope all is well. And this is an excellent blog.
Holly - looking forward to hearing about Bloggy Bootcamp so I can live vicariously through you. You are cracking me up that you think you're much wittier and more marvelous on the blog than in real life - dontcha know that if any of us meet you in real life we'll know the witty marvelous you? The woman who can do it all apparently because you are ALWAYS on the go - I don't know how you do it!!
