Clicked over from Ann’s, and I must know. . . do you really live in a little pink house?
So jealous you are going to Relevant. Enjoy!
It’s little…and it was once pink!
It had pink house-wrap, so once we put the siding on, it wasn’t pink any more. And we just finally got it painted–and no, I couldn’t convince my husband to paint it pink. 
Old friends who love you anyway…priceless!!
joy & blessings,
Alida
