You may remember that some time ago I took part in a vintage sheet swap, organised by Mary Emmens.

I got some lovely fabrics in my swap. The one slight drawback was the abundance of pinks…

Now don’t get me wrong, pink has it’s place. I have a pink flowery frock and matching charity shop cashmere cardi, both of which I wear all the time, so it’s not that I don’t like pink.

But somehow I find candy-pink fabrics of limited use on a daily basis.

And when I do use them, I prefer to pair up the pink with something bright and clashing, like blue, or red, or orange.

Usually…

Unless a commission specifically requests that I go candy-pink crazy…

I have to admit, there’s something very pretty about a whole load of vintage sheets in the same pretty pink colour tones.

I’m also rather pleased with the look of that retro font – I think it stops the whole thing from tipping over into sickly-sweet.

And pink baby bunting does make the ultimate girly new baby gift, doesn’t it?

But, in case you were hankering after requesting something pink yourself, you can rest assured…

I’ve still got pink aplenty. ♥
