We lost Toby, the Tuffet Tabby today. We are happy to have had him in our lives for 6 years and sad to say good-bye.

MMP Friday Shopping Event December 10th "Last Minute Gifts"

Last Minute Gifts

Christmas is all about family, friends, church and community. Seeing loved ones who live far away and reconnecting with those who are nearby but we don’t see as often as we wish we could. It’s about loving those who are alone at this time of year and inviting them to be part of our families too. Working with our communities to bring Christmas cheer to those in need is a very big part of the holiday season for my family. Tis the season to share the magic of this blessed holiday with everyone around us.

When we have a moment to relax, time spent sitting around the fire, enjoying the ambiance of the season. It’s hot cocoa or spiced cider, shared with a friend. Working on new stitching projects for someone we love. Telling stories from the past year and our hopes for the year to come, feeling thankful for those we will share it with.

Looking for last minute gifts that we’re sure will be loved, is an exciting part of the holiday for our family. We’re filled with excitement when we find that perfect item for someone on our list, and we feel like children, full of anticipation of the joy our gift will bring on Christmas morning.
 
From the planning to the feelings of love and joy, to spending time with family and friends, everything about the Christmas season is magical. Please stop by the boutiques at Make Mine Pink for all of your last minute shopping. We’re sure you’ll find that perfect something, that will be treasured for many years.

We wish you all the love and joy of this magical season.
The members of Make Mine Pink.

MMP Friday Shopping Event December 3rd "Sleigh Bells and Winter Roses"

Sleigh Bells and Winter Roses

There’s something magical about the Christmas holiday. I can still remember lying in bed on Christmas eve when I was a child ,and listening for Santa’s sleigh bells. The faint ringing in the distance meant that Santa would soon be arriving. To this day, when I hear a sleigh bell ring, it brings back the magic and excitement of my childhood all over again.

Christmas Eve has always been a special time in our home. Young and old alike gather in our home. The buffet table is always a sight to behold. Vintage China plates are stacked high with desserts and tea sandwiches, each almost too beautiful to eat. Glorious red and white winter roses fill vases of all sizes throughout our home. Bows in glittering shades of silver and gold make the roses themselves look as if they’re shimmering.

Vintage tablecloths with the reddest of roses and bright sprigs of holly, dress our holiday tables. Pillows propped on chairs and benches, embellished with Santa’s jolly face, and surrounded with bright winter roses and mistletoe.

From the most whimsical Santa to the most elegant winter rose, there’s a place for each in our holiday decor.  Everything about the Christmas season is magical and seems like the perfect fit.

The Boutique Owners at Make Mine Pink wish you the most magical holiday season ever!
