Sara says: NOTHING LIKE HIGH MAINTANENCE ORCHIDS





The Pantone color of the year is 'Honeysuckle', but I'm a bit obsessed with a color a little further down the spectrum. ORCHID! OMG! ORCHID! ORCHID! ORCHID!


Here's some prime examples of my latest favorite color.




Now's here's orchid beautifully represented in stuff!

Sara says: REST IN PINK

My aunt was trying to purchase a house here in town last week. It was a repo with a listing price of $88k - 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms... and, to my infinite surprise and delight, a pink kitchen. I have a bit of an obsession with pink, though my house isn't a Hello Kitty crack shack, I promise! It's like my antidepressant. I particularly love the stylings of a 1950's pink kitchen. This one was perfect.






Me doing my 50's housewife pose?

My aunt lost out on the house; as you can imagine it was pretty competitive. It breaks my heart to think of this mint condition, gorgeous pink kitchen being torn to pieces. This post is my ode to it.

Sara says: PINK GETS ME HIGH AS A KITE. AND I THINK EVERYTHING IS GOING TO BE ALL RIGHT...

I'm feeling pretty down lately. Just discouraged and alone and blah. It's been raining. A. LOT. The tornadoes that killed 200+ people in Alabama started in Arkansas. A town was flattened, but we did not bear the loss of life that Tuscaloosa did. Now there are floods, but they say it should quit raining soon.

The sun will come out.
Tomorrow.

To counteract the blahs and the blues. I thought I would share this. A random act of pink in an unexpected place.



I also have a board on Pinterest devoted to pink houses. Matt and I used to have a little joke that one day we would live in a pink house. It makes me happy to think about. Here's what it would look like.

Hope y'all are doing ok. I hope to have some nice, big, juicy posts soon. But, for now, I'm sticking to cotton candy dreams.

Sara's Junktique Rainbow of Funtimes: PINK

No, you're not seeing hallucinations from last night's bender... well maybe you are, but I assure you, those above are very real and very adorable PINK elephants wearing gold bow ties. I can't think of a better color to end the Junktique Rainbow of Funtimes series! EEEEEEE! 


*ahem* Now, that I've regained my composure, I was fortunate enough to snag the adorable elephants, vintage mermaid wall pockets, and metal plate w/ bowl in one go at the Mid-towne Antique Mall.

Closeup of the metal plate and bowl. Really very pretty.

Closeup of the mermaids (they're chalkware). I know I say this a lot, but these are one of my favorite things.

Perfect for Easter-times (you can see a bit of my table decorations in the background), I found this precious little lambie planter at Saver's. Followed by a profitable trip to Elaine's Closet (a consignment store here in Little Rock), I scored two plastic floral brooches.

Closeup of the brooches. The one on the right is an orchid, I believe. Very pretty and in super condition.

 Jelly-fishies scarf.

Floral enamel brooch as modeled by Ms. Hello Kitty. I couldn't resist.

A pink tin with a city shopping scene on it (I unwittingly made a set of these, which you can see on the YELLOW AND PURPLE posts).




I hope you've enjoyed this series as much as I've enjoyed making (and acquiring) it! You can navigate to all the other posts by clicking on the header above.

Bonus find! Rainbow peacock brooch!



Stay Tuned For: Amazing new plus-size clothing shops I've discovered! More junkin! Uhmmm... Endless whimsy!
