Pretty in Pink

I have been looking forward to making a new header for the month of February because I knew I would be using my favorite color ~ pink! Going from left to right above: a little vignette on a table in my living room it features a small needlepoint work that I did and have always liked. In the middle picture I have a grouping of decorating books; the book on the top, Decorating with Roses is a Victoria publication that I recently purchased; don't you think that decorating with roses fits in perfectly with someone who lives and gardens at a house called, Rose Arbors? And the last picture, with an afghan and a needlepoint cushion I made, was taken in the sitting area of my bedroom. For some reason, along with pink, needlework seems to be a focus of this header, funny I really didn't plan it that way. Once again I ended up with extra photos I didn't use so here are the rest of my February pink header possibilities...maybe for next year.

Another curbside find this chair is sits next to the fireplace in the living room, I like the juxtaposition of the pink and cream stripes  against the floral wallpaper

...a few of my Desert Rose dishes, the first china pattern I started collecting and still one of my favorites, I use these for my everyday china during the spring months, at one time I used to be able to go to the Franciscian factory in Los Angeles and buy them, that was long ago and now they are made overseas and not really the same in quality

...I have been experimenting in using textures with some of my pictures and I really liked the way this one of the pink camellia turned out, I think it is quite interesting. Have any of you been attempting this process?

So here you are all of my "pinks", perfect I think for the month of romance.
