Happy 4th Birthday to The Pink Orange!

Instead of my normal Friday wrap-up, I wanted to take this time to wish The Pink Orange an early Happy Birthday. Tomorrow The Pink Orange turns 4! I honestly can’t believe how fast time has flown, how much the business has grown and how many of the best clients a designer can have. Also, since November when I started blogging, the audience has grown steadily and your support both online and off have been truly amazing. So thank you, thank you to everyone! I truly appreciate it.


In honor of our birthday, (which by the way, my business shares a birthday with my husband) i have a fabulous giveaway for you! It is called Rebecca’s Favorite Things. Yup, just like Oprah. Here are some of my favorite things that i have previously featured on my blog.

So go on, get shopping and have a wonderful weekend!
We are heading to Cooperstown to celebrate my husband’s birthday and enjoy some much needed rest and relaxation.
Wow! Spring is in the air and boy does it feel good. We took the hard top off our jeep this weekend, put the soft top on and off we went! Traveling on back roads and driving around enjoying the sunshine this weekend. It was wonderful!

To kick off spring, I have a really cool giveaway for you to enter. One of my great friends who has always been uber creative has started a business making beautiful, unique accessories. She is just so talented and to introduce herself and kick start her new venture, she is so generous and has designed some accessories to give away to a lucky winner! Her shop is Tiane Novati Modiste, a name she designed as a teenager when she realized one day she wanted to own a boutique. Each piece she makes his hand stitched and created. She will make custom what you need (which would be fabulous for a bridal party) or you can purchase pre-designed pieces from her Etsy shop. I had her make me 2 different floral headbands which i just love because a) because they are the perfect accessory when you want to add a little sass and b) because my head is just that odd-shaped and i actually don’t need Advil after wearing her headbands all day. Ladies, I know you know what i mean, can you say bonus?
