Make Mine Pink

If you are going to play golf...try it in pink

 Pink school bus?

Imagine the football team dressed out.



Have a need for speed on two wheels?



...or NOT...with four.



What about fast and sexy?

Pink classic muscle



Classic sporty pink

Vintage shabby pinky lavender

Sexy soft pink...love, love, love this color

Masculine pink

I dare you to call this man a sissy

Pink with lots of chrome

Pink with a smile just for you

Back this pink up...
who doesn't love a great looking rear?

Brown chicken...brown cow 

Low riding pink.

Check out this mirrored bumper...and zebra tire cover

How fun is that?

Make mine with a pink designer interior

Ok, granted the dash just might be a little too much

Be still my heart...a Beetle in pink

I'll take this one!

Which one is calling you?

Vintage Glider Memories

When I was a little girl my gandmother had a glider in her backyard.

We would go out and sit in it early in the morning...

Listening to the mockingbirds sing in the trees overhead. 

My grandmother, being the wonderful woman that she was,

 would make up stories of what the mockingbirds were singing to us

I never hear a mockingbird sing...

or see a vintage glider...

...that I don't think of her and her love for me.

This is my vintage pie crust glider just waiting for a paint job.

What color do you think would make her sing?

I'm thinking maybe a blush pink...?
