Do you ever have moments or circumstances in your life that make you blush?
Moments that just make you happy . . .
of sometimes embarrassed ?
I know I do . . .
But I do like the times when they make me happy. . .
When they come as a surprise . . .
And then remind me of simple objects also associated with the color of blushing.
Sweet shining Alicia with Spashionista Style nominating me for the sunshine and shine on awards.
I think that’s cause for a little blushing. So to thank her I’ve gathered a few of my favorite blushing objects to share today.
Like a soft blushing bouquet of pink roses . . .
and my lady-like pink clutch and pearl statement necklace . . .
or perhaps my everyday pink handbag and (grandmother’s) vintage pink gloves. . .
and then there’s my supply of blushing nail polish, lip gloss and perfume.
Or it might be the vintage cake stand with a soft pink scarf, or bracelet or brooch.
But for you dear crazy Alicia, I’m grabbing the scarf . . .
And some fun blushing boots . . .
To say Thank You for making me blush today.
Sometimes it’s just a darn good thing to make someone else blush, because isn’t that what sunshine is all about?
As part of accepting this nomination I was asked to do the following things:
-Display the award logo on my blog
-link back to the person who nominated you
-state seven random facts about yourself
-nominate 15 other bloggers
Here’s my seven random facts . . .
*I love to clean. I know it sounds crazy but I thoroughly enjoy it and I love a clean house.
*If I had to choose between a shopping spree of clothes and books, it would be books. Did I surprise you there? Yep, I could spend hours on end in a book store.
*Met my husband at a ski competition, yes I was crazy in my young days.
*I love to sleep in and never ever feel guilty doing so.
*I have way too many clothes and shoes but when my kids moved out I figured the closets needed some friends.
*I love to get my hands in the dirt and garden, I call it painting my yard.
*Here’s another surprise, I have never had a taste or drink of alcohol or tried any type of drugs.
BONUS FACT
*If I had to choose a dream career at my age it would an interior decorator or window displays, to be able to play and decorate with other people’s money would be so much fun.
Now to nominate 15 other bloggers, well I have spent two weeks trying to do that and I just can’t seem to choose because you all shine in my eyes. Really, truly you do. So if I have ever commented on your blog, it means you sparked my interests and in some way brought some sunshine into my life so therefore, go ahead and grab this award because you have been nominated.
As Always, thanks for dropping by. Have a wonderful wonderful day!
I’m also joining Patti for Visible Monday, because its just fun to join all these other gals.
Oh that pink bracelet! And the boots too, so fabulous. I am rather a fanatical cleaner myself. Mu husband LOL’s when he sees the broom come out . . . again. Thanks for sharing with Visible Monday!
So glad to hear I have a partner in grime. Have a wonderful week, cute lady.
I like pink on you. Lovely scarf and ever so fun boots. Congratulations with your award. Looking peachy (if that is a correct word) haha.

Peachy is the perfect word, and it made me laugh as well.
Some lovely photos and a charming look. I love the softness of the color of your proposal, scarf, shirt and boots. The scarf and boots are beautiful, but the shirt is a real cutie. A delicious post.
Thank you kindly Josep-Maria.
Thank you for sharing some info about yourself Trina! Can you come and help me clean my house and maybe organize my closets too?? Blush is a wonderful color on you!

For a trip to your sunny side of the world, of course I would love to help clean your home.
A beautiful post! The color blush is exceptionally beautiful on you. And loved the new facts that we learned about you because of the spectacular Alicia.
Isn’t Alicia just the best, that sponky woman.
I adore pink – all shades but especially pastel. I don’t wear it very often but your post is making me want to find some pastel pink boots!
Interesting list. Were you a competitor in the ski competition? Was your husband?
Adrienne, those pastel pink boots are ones I rarely pull out of the shoe closet but they are sure fun when I do so. As for the skiing, yes, we were both competitors, we were crazy Mogul skiers in the so called “hot-dog” skiing days, way before it was an olympic sport. My husband also did the aerial ski competitions and there was also the ballet skiing event as well. Now days I make sure the skis stay on the ground (for both of us) but we still enjoy a few fun mogul runs.
Good morning Trina. Fun way to tell a bit more about yourself, listing the blush colored items. The boots are super. Interesting facts that give me more insight to you. I had a bit of wine by I’m with you, no drugs ever. Your my kind of lady, a clean house and enjoys books!
blue hue wonderland
Nice to know we have more in common other than putting outifts together, (lol). By the way, are you reading any good books at the moment?
So many fun facts wrapped in pink : )
I love the boots and the scarf.
I’m surprised about the alcohol bit. I’m like you for the drugs, but cannot refuse a good glass of wine or champagne.
I’ve been longing to be a window display artist for years. Especially for a company like Anthropologie. So much creative fun! It doesn’t surprise me that you too would like this job, you’d be excellent at it.
Please come over and clean my house. I like a clean house but really hate doing it. Organizing I don’t mind at all. It’s the scrubbing toilets and floors bit I could really do without.
bisous
Suzanne
Trina, you weren’t supposed to tell everybody I’m crazy – that was our secret LOL!
I love it all, and I think you’d be an amazing window dresser. Your sense of style is second to none and it has definitely has an influence on me 😉

No one wears pink like you! No one! So cute, and I love the little top as vest … will look forward to seeing it this summer, too!
I don’t blush easily … I’m rarely embarassed anymore (not sure what that says about my rude self!) but I blush when I’m so mad I can’t even speak. And I always have something to say, so I don’t get there very often!
Have a great week, Trina. Hope to see you as spring comes on!
Congratulations on that award, you deserve it. I love your rose photos that you chose! You would be a fabulous interior decorator, as I have seen your creations in your lovely home. I am crazy for the blush pink boots, by the way.
I love the expression of painting your yard , you even decorate your sentences Trina,
XX, Elle
