City Girl Overrun by Country Critters

This city girl needs help from some of you country folk. Ok I grew up as a country girl but I have been living in the city for over 20 years now. When I say city I mean; within the city limits but just barely. A few feet outside my yard is country; a hard wood forest, a meadow and a pond. Having clarified all of that; here is my problem.
The critters love our place we are visited by deer, skunks, coons, wild turkeys, snakes, etc. With the exception of the snakes I don't mind. Every since I bought my most recent car I have had a huge problem with field mice. They love my car. Not my hubby's truck or either of my son's vehicles, just mine.
They climb into the engine, cooling system, heating vents or where ever they can. They don't just visit they nest and reproduce. You can imagine what my car smells like after the fan belt chops them to bits leaving pieces of flesh to fry on the engine.
Sorry to be so graphic but I am really ticked off because now they have grown tired of their hiding spots under the hood.
They have moved inside to warmer and more comforting quarters.

Brace yourself for this next story. It will make your skin crawl.




I need one of these



I was driving my 15 mile jaunt this morning to pick up the princess when I heard an unusual sound. It was a chirping sound. I thought perhaps the speakers to my car were going out. Then I thought maybe a bird had gotten locked inside. Just then I saw something fall from the ceiling behind me. Two seconds later I noticed little black droppings on my dash. I quickly pulled over and jumped out of my car. Opened all of the doors and started looking for the little *#^*#!
I found a baby field mouse (with his eyes still unopened) on my back seat. I grabbed him by the tail and tossed him out. I just know there are more but can't find the *^*#* little darlings.
Help me or I will have to get one of these (below) to live in my Lexus.





Maybe I should get one of these



Not sure which would be worse the mess of an owl in my car or the smell of dead mice in my heating unit. Not to mention the filthy droppings on the seats and the fear that a mouse is going to drop on my head (while I am driving) at any given moment.

Come on country girls ...

Help out a city girl.

What should I do?

Studio Pink New Goodies

Studio Pink update. I did a little restocking. Added a few Shabby Cottage Chic, a little Romantic Country and just a little foo foo to the store.
Add a little poodle to your parlor or a romantic cherub to your bath.
I love, love cherubs and this little guy is oh, so sweet!












This sweet plaque works as a perfect little hanger for your guest towels, beautiful tussie cone or whatever your heart desires. It is done in a shabby pink with white and silver bead trim. Too sweet!

I love this little beauty. I am not sure if it is the rich green and pink colors, the french bistro table or the little paper roses. It is cottage chic with a french twist. For some reason it just makes me think

This little sign is the motto for life, marriage, and family. It may not always come true but it does remind me of all the bedtime stories of my youth. You remember the handsome prince charming, the white horse and the castle. Well it makes a wonderful tag for a wedding gift anyway.

Calling all fashion Divas or shoe freaks. This is your sign. We all know at least one fashion queen or shoe diva don't we?
This would look perfect in your big dressing room ;) LoL
Well, at the very least it would look good hanging on the door to your closet.

Hanging on the garden fence.

I had to take advantage of the morning sun after a frosty night. Burrrrr! I thought it was late may?

Oh so shabby cottage. Love the pink pile up of little flowers and the pink fringe so yummy. This miniature vanity is a vintage piece I revamped. It was orange and had little holes around the sides to hold earrings.
I like my cute doll house version better.









Sushi anyone? I assembled a few different pieces to make these fun tassels. The fish and seahorse are covered in sequins and glitter and the tassels are shiny crystal cut beads. Makes a great sparkler in the window.









Here is a close-up of these shiny little sea creatures. The fish is actually my favorite of the 2 but the seahorse much more photogenic. He is a show stealer.









Shabby sweet. Another vintage find that I revamped. Love the tiny little flowers and angel on the back of the chair.








This piece just screams romance to me. I love to take totally unlike items and marry them together to make a totally new creation. It is a combination of a vintage mother of pearl small belt buckle (I think),
a vintage tat from an old hat and the little angel button all hung on a faded vintage silk ribbon.
Love it!

The last new item at StudioPink is this Da vinci style pendant necklace. The pendant is made from a vintage piece of copper that was on a necklace that had seen better days. I set it in a silver jewelry frame and added vintage rhinestones to it. Gave it a dusting of glitter and hung it on a little turquoise seed bead necklace.
Love the cooper and turquoise together.

Thank you so much for visiting me today.

Have a wonderful day.
