The magnifying glass with the little pink rose is from my youngest daughter from several years ago...I don't think a day goes by that I don't use it...

Little bits of pink in my sewing room....the wishes are from my oldest granddaughter...so sweet!


These silk hankies are a soft whisper pink and I enjoy looking at them very much!

Pink Saturday

Pink Saturday is here and I just did not have a moment to prepare. You see, we are blessed with a visit from our oldest Texas granddaughter taking a break from college. I don't know about her, but we are enjoying her so much! Anyway, with doing this and that, my good intentions did not pan out so, I am going back into my pictures to see what I can find.....be back in a minute! don't go away...

Well...look what I found...I think this will do...lots of pretty pink to enjoy here!

With A Wave And A Hug,

PS I have ten more followers to go to have "200" and when I reach that magic number I will have my first give-a-way! Maybe this Pink Saturday will put me there??? So,I hope you will be watching for it will be something special, pretty and with pink!

Yesterday, was rainy and dark and a good day to get out my paternal grandmothers silver....(we have our oldest Texas granddaughter with us) Some of the pieces had been out and had turned dark and she remembered something she had seen somewhere....toothpaste removes tarnish quickly and beautifully....so, she went to work. Needless to say, we have to make a run to the store today for lots of toothpaste as I have a few, large pieces of silver that need a good polishing, too! Bless her heart! She is looking for projects and I am afraid she might be getting bored with her much older than 20 grandparents!

While she was scrubbing away, at the kitchen sink, I added some pretty vintage linens to my open kitchen cupboards and am so satisfied with the "look".


I am not getting much done, but that is OK, as I will probably never have our Jacque here like this again. She is taking a break from college this semester, she is a junior, and she just learned she passed the exam to enter Federal Law Enforcement. We are so grateful she wanted to come and "hang out" with us for a bit. She is wonderful company as she is so smart and so interested in everything and we all have fascinating conversations!

Wishing you all a happy day!

A Fall Walk Across The River

Fall is here and it is a great time to get out for walks and little excursions.....a favorite place of ours is the Swinging Bridge across the Black River about half an hour North of Port Huron.....This pretty, lazy river winds behind Croswell, a sweet small town with beautiful older homes. The area surrounding the bridge is kept so pretty, so picturesque, and once across the river you are in a well kept park. Having a good swing is a must while over there.....




We have our oldest Texas granddaughter visiting with us and that made the day even more delightful.....




Here and there we found a red or golden Maple leaf, but the trees haven't started turning yet.....I imagine they will in a couple of weeks. The day was so perfect and we stopped in Lexington on our way back to prowl the shops and have a hamburger the little town is known for...Wimpy's....it was delicious and the perfect end to the perfect day!

Hope you all are having a wonderful week!

This is such a pretty fall day! And, yes, it is definitely fall. A tree here and there is beginning to turn and the air has a coolness that says "Fall." So with thoughts turning to cooler weather and all that comes with fall, I made this cute little pillow/door or shelf charmer...


This little gal is so cute! I put her with colors of wine and maroon that work with our pinks....it is not an easy task introducing some fall among all our pretty pink shabbiness...

Wishing you all a wonderful week!

Hello...I'm late....whats new...it is one of my flaws! I started this yesterday, but then hubby and I REMEMBERED.....IT WAS OUR 41st ANNIVERSARY. We took some time for ourselves and it was late when we got home, so that ment I slept in a bit this morning and this is my excuse and I am sticking to it!!!!

Here is a picture, out of many, that I took for the December Romantic Homes ad...I think this is full of frou frou....lots of the lovely jewelry by Missy Michelle...

**Click on the picture and you can see lots more pretty detail**

Summers Flowers

I was playing around in PhotoShop this evening, learning to make a collage or mosaic....I took some of my pictures of this years flowers and thought it turned out not too badly...so I decided to post it....I am learning the control of the corners to make it the size I want and learning the layers to put it above or below a picture. It is great fun....

I do love playing around with the computer and different programs....I got myself into a little trouble yesterday trying to make something happen with my website and made it such a mess my designer had to work on it for FOUR HOURS. I am lucky she is such a sweetheart, for she is extremely busy and she stopped what she was doing to straighten out my mess... God Love Her!!

Off for a bubble bath...the weatherman promised rain and thunderstorms tonight..I hope he delivers as our grass is absolutely parched....with a hot West wind the flowers can not stay hydrated and so they look tired and droopy......the way I felt after a day of grocery and other necessary shopping, today!

Wishing You Sweet Dreams!
