IN CELEBRATION OF BREAST CANCER AWARNESS !!!

October is the month of Breast Cancer awareness and to show our “support” we donated a collection of bras to our local radio station Kool FM 107.3 in Victoria BC – for their annual “Bras on Broad” event.

.

The Bras will be hooked together and strung across Broad Street from Pandora to Yates to raise awareness for Breast Cancer.

After the public display the bras will be donated to a local women ‘s shelter.

One last Bra Hurrah before they are donated.

Showing our “support” so to speak (lol)

stupid pink guessing game

the month is winding down, and soon there will not be 1 other image of pink on girl world decor 4 a long time! i was happy 2 do this month long pink-a-palooza in honor of breast cancer awareness month.

this is a stupid guessing game, but what celeb did the following rooms?

1. Under her direction, pink seems to have found its decorative footing. One of her design tactics was to create a continuous wash of ambient color throughout the guesthouse. The mirror frame above the fireplace, for example, was painted the same pink as the cottage's walls and trims.

2. The bedroom desk, which faces the water, is the spot for writing letters or just gazing out the window.

3. The once-mismatched wicker pieces, including a chaise and a star-shape table, are now unified, thanks to a coat of gray paint. The enormous mirror on the right reflects a view of the harbor.

4. Additional pinks are worked into the decorative scheme in the bathroom with a few embroidered towels and some soaps.


5. She unearthed the pink Venetian mirror at a consignment store. The pink glazed tiles were made in the 1920s at Pewabic Pottery, one of Detroit's renowned potters.


6. She had a lampshade made to match the Italian alabaster reading lamp; the ruffled edge echoes the fluted top of the lamp base. The sconce is one of a set of Italian lyre-backed pieces in the room that belonged to her grandmother.

7. The bed expands the range of pinks with its French sheets and pillowcases and mohair throw.

8. Amber-and-gold Venetian glass candlesticks stand on the Victorian flip-top desk.

9. She found the pink porcelain teacups in the South of France; some of the Venetian glassware came with the house. gwd: i luv the pink painting!

it's martha stewart of course, as if u couldn't read the tiny credit caption on the bottom of the photos! who knew she'd be so girly & pink!
