I know you must appreciate the prettiness of pink!
I think it casts a softer, happier glow in my entire life and I am not ashamed to admit I love pink all around me!
Over the years, I have collected and made some really pretty lampshades in pink and wanted to share.
Last evening, I started working on another lace lampshade. I purchased a huge bolt of wide shell pink lace and could cover everything in my home with it if I wanted to!
Honestly, I have never seen such an amount of lace. It came from an estate sale and the lady was a crafter who made beautiful lampshades!
Here is my shade in progress.
Here's my lampshade with finishing touches.... I'm looking for a little string of rhinestones to add as well but I added more lace and a little appliqué.

Thank heaven for hot glue!
I purchased this little milk glass lamp at the Rescue Mission. Still not happy with the shade of pink it is but I will fix it up and get it how I want it, eventually.
I showed this shade last year after I made it but I added a sparkly and lacy rosette I made and wanted you to see.
I added this rosette to another pink shade picked up at a rummage sale. I love the aqua broach with my forget-me-not vignette on this table.
Here is another lamp I showed last year, but with a rosette.
Last year, after the holidays, I needed a project and picked up needle, thread and lace to make these rosettes.
I can never seem to buy enough little rhinestone pins. I always find a use for them.
Last but not least - I found this reading lamp at Goodwill last weekend for $6.06!!
It is the prettiest pale shade of pink.
I plan to use it in my someday craft studio, which will most appropriately be decorated with as much pink as I can stand!!

I hope everyone enjoys a safe and fun Labor Day weekend with their families!
Oh my goodness! It's September!!
