Another pink post
I am the queen of shopping, just ask my husband. He’s given me the title, but he’s a bit biased. I should hesitate to accept, but I can’t help it. I love the title! It should come with a tiara that I can wear when I greet the UPS man.
So there I was last weekend, the “Queen of Shopping” cleaning out the garage. Now that we’ve cancelled the studio addition I’m left with a few things I’ve purchased with the addition in mind. Most of my purchases are really smart buys. Things on sale with a price so low I just couldn’t pass them up. It’s great fun to open up the boxes!
I asked my husband for some help. I innocently said, “Can you help me with that heavy box over in the corner”? Stupid move on my part. I forgot the number one rule; never let your husband open a purchase. Never. Open it in private, no matter how heavy, then hand him the empty box. Truth be told I couldn’t remember what was in the box.
So now the “queen of shopping” is left with the “purchase of the year”. The one thing I’ll never live down. The one thing I have no room for, a bright pink refrigerator. Not the “perfect’ Bunny Hill pink, but bright pink. Up to the studio my husband carried it, with me acting like it was the smartest thing I ever bought. “Put it right over there by my sewing machine” I said.
Hummm, so now what? It’s here, in the studio, until I can sneak it out when the Goodwill truck drives by. I’m almost tripping over it! At least I can use the top for storage, but what do you keep on the top of a pink refrigerator?
Wait! I think I may have found the perfect thing!
Chelsea likes it, and she likes her treats chilled! “It’s a good thing” as Martha would say. Bitsy isn’t impressed. She thinks the pink is too bright.
During the next week you’ll be seeing things change on my blog so please be patient with me. We’re still working on it, moving things around, trying to find a good fit. My blog isn’t moving again, just changing a bit more. We’ll be done soon, I promise.
Back soon,
Hugs,
Anne

How funny I was going to say – do not get rid of that pink refrigerator. It is so cute, but it looks like everyone else has beat me too it. Looks as if you’ll have to keep it now that the opinion is unanimous. Men – we should feel sorry for them – how can they be expected to understand.

You definitely NEED to keep the little pink frig! Its adorable. Send it to me if you don’t want it. For one thing, it can hold items other than food-but wouldn’t you love to have it close by and filled with goodies? And, granddaughters are sure to love it. (Wherever did you find it?) I say its a keeper. WHAT else have you gotten? Would love to see.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE that pink refrigerator. I live in a log home with 3 sons and a husband and anything I can get that reminds me that I am still female is fantastic. Chelsea looks great on it.
