Pink Saturday

Today is Pink Saturday, and Bev from How Sweet The Sound has lots of Pink Posts to read.

I heard an inspiring story while living in Canada. One of the most famous coat designers there at the time, Linda Lundstrom designed beautiful pastel coats with pastel faux fur trim. Her designs always made the cold winters in Ontario lovely and warm.



When you wore one of these coats in the bitter Canadian winters, you looked like a million bucks and everyone recognized the designs. I loved that she designed for full figure women as well as the size 2's.



The inspiration for these coats came to her in a dream. She dreamt of a little girl sitting against the Northern Lights, wearing a pink parka with a pink fur trim. When she awoke she went in search of a manufacturer who could provide pastel faux fur trim. The rest is history.

Today her colors have changed from her sweet pastels, but this season's collection is just as dreamy as I remember when I lived in Toronto.



When Spoonflower asked for submissions to design a doll panel, I knew just what to design. Here is the little girl doll I call Northern Light Dreams. This little doll is how I imagine the little girl in Linda's dream. It brings back lovely memories of winter nights in Ontario and lovely pink LaParkas with pink fur trim.



You can go HERE and see all the fabulous doll panel designs and vote for your favorite.



Happy Pink Satuday, and pay attention to your dreams, you just never know what might happen. Speaking of dreams, there is a dreamy blog you might want to visit called Rose Chintz Cottage Inspirations.



What could be dreamier than a pink parka against a white winter's snow. The song for this post is The Snowman's Music Box.
