Pink Pretty

French Brocante

 

 

Brocante in pink. I am not a pink girl. Rarely, when Chelsea was a wee one, did I dress her in pink. Though, spring with the many pink trees in bloom is just too beautiful not to give pink a salut. 

A turn of the century, pink transferware aperitif dish. Two pink birds give bluebirds a run for happiness.

Our neighbor has a massive Judea tree in their garden, that spills into our courtyard, there are so many pink petals on the ground it is like spring snow.

This depicts very well what it looks like in Provence at the moment.

  1. Just in the past year or two have I begun to like pink. I was rebellious as a young girl and always said my favorite color was yellow because most people didn’t like it and all the girls liked pink.

  2. I love pink, and especially when it’s toile.

  3. I was just the same!
    I am amazed by all the flowering pink trees around here. They are especially fetching against the perfectly blue skies we’ve enjoyed for weeks now.

  4. LOVE

    Sometimes pink gets a bad rap for being too, well, pink. You’ve just given it personality, buoyancy and beautiful depth with these pics! Great way to start the day! Thank you.

  7. I love pink but I didn’t always. I have always loved red though. Your photos are gorgeous!

  8. I am a pink kind of gal, love pink especially in the transferware and the toile fabrics.
    I just purchased two pairs new pink jeans and slacks for spring LOL oh also a soft pink tee shirt

  9. Stunning photos….Corey you are the best stylist. Your Vignettes are a master class in design. I’m learning to love pink in small amounts.

  15. “I believe in pink.
    I believe that laughing is the best calorie burner.
    I believe in kissing, kissing a lot.
    I believe in being strong when
    everything seems to be going wrong.
    I believe that happy girls are the prettiest girls.
    I believe that tomorrow is another day
    and I believe in miracles.” ~ Audrey Hepburn
