Today as part of the Vintage Tea Room’s Virtual Holiday tea, I made afternoon tea with cake and sandwiches for HP and I. Something I really must do more often!

pink christmas ornament from nicole in germany

I have a odd relationship with the style known as “shabby chic”. I love it, oh yes I do! Sometimes, I’ll break out the pink cakes, pink tea set, make some cute old fashioned collages, and generally delight in all things girly. At other times, there’s no way it will fit into the current style of my home (think, 40’s furniture, blue and natural colours, Bali-esque handcrafts and thingamahjigs), and I know HP can’t live with it.
And then things like this show up in my mailbox! Swoon! Pink, vintage, cuteness, soooo gorgeous! This is a pink ornament I received from Nicole in Germany for the Pink Christmas Flickr group swap. I love it! And it makes me want to break out the pink, and the lace doileys, and banish all my bamboo decorations to the op shop and green potplants to the garden! How do I reconcile these polar opposites of design in me? Help me, Cath Kidston!
