You'd think I was a big girl with all this pink, right?


'tis up, originally uploaded by flymissy.

As I got it out of the box I was a little bit nervous that it was too big - I'd forgotten just how enormous it was! About 7ft high and 4ft across (we've bent the bottom bits in a bit though). And er, it's so pink too!

I snapped it up as an ex-display model for a bargain but then had to carry it back to the car some distance, including over a footbridge. What I didn't know at the time was that I was pregnant with Frankie and I couldn't understand why I was so exhausted by the process - I was usually pretty strong! All became clear of course but the tree never found it's way out of the loft until we moved.

I'm glad I bothered of course even though it clashes with the sofa - you just can't match pinks ; )

LOL, thanks for that! Thankfully, mine has no opinion on deco although I did phone him up when I was buying the hot pink velvet sofa, just to make sure ; ) I'll post a piccie on flickr!

Weird with pink. I have never liked that colour much... But I've always loved green!
So if it's a girl this time, there won't be much pink in her wardrobe. :)

Oh Anna, I hate Frankie in most pinks - not least because of the stereotyping. It's just not a flattering colour! I do have a nice green lamp right next to my pink sofa though, to offset it - will upload right now : )

OMG...we have a pink tree too. It's a pencil tree and it is pink and silver. I LOVE your tree :)
