you are not suffering from heat stroke...

no...

it's christmas in july!!!
yeah, i know.

my sister and i love christmas (and vintage christmas decortions) and the season of snow and sparkle, but even i have trouble drumming up much enthusiasm for christmas when it is scorching outside.
on the other hand, it is sort of nice to dream of cold weather and being snug and cozy inside, curled up with a mug of something warm ( not to mention being dry inside your clothing.)

so, here is a little something to get us in the mood...(come on, just pretend for a bit...!)
the reason for all this?

starting monday, july 20th, make mine pink is having christmas in july...it's a fun shopping event and contest for you, where you can shop now for christmas gifts to tuck away to keep secret for a loved one, and for christmas decorations that will be so much fun to take out of the tissue as the weather chills and the days grow short.

and you know it's true: that time will be upon us all before we know it.

(168 days...i counted!)

and, when you play, you can win prizes!!!

so come on by...

go to make mine pink and get the scoop and sign up to play.

it's free, and it's fun!

and, if you really really REALLY love christmas, visit our shop and see what we have stored away for christmas decorating, vintage style.

stop on by polka dot rose to get a taste of what is coming later this year, and is available now, just for this week only!
