This is our day to have fun visiting each other and enjoying all things PINK! You know that if you go and visit our dear hostess Beverly you will find all the sweet pink blogs to visit.
I just had to show you these pretty dried roses...I was so delighted with how they turned out....I picked up a bouquet of lovely white roses at our grocery store about a month ago...they have a marvelous selection of fresh roses as well as other pretty flowers and I can always find something perfect to suit my mood and without breaking the bank. They lasted several days and when I went to remove the roses that I thought were wilting, I discovered that instead of wilting, they were drying on their own.
So, I just freshened the water and left them alone. One by one they each dried so prettily and I saved them all and divided them in pretty bouquets, tied a pretty bow of sheer soft white ribbon around each bunch and scattered them about in several rooms....They are in such good condition, that I may put them in a wreath....many years ago I did so much with dried flowers, growing many and getting them from the gardens in California and turning them into all kinds of pretty accents from wreaths to bouquets. These roses make me think I just might want to do that again...
Sometimes the roses will do this and other times they just fade away and drop their petals. Weren't they a pretty and unexpected "gift?"
Thank you for stopping by...Thank you for taking the time to leave me a comment! I enjoy them so much!
'Til next Saturday...Have a happy week!

Hi Jil,
I love it when the roses turn out as perfectly as yours did! That's another sweet pillow you have created! Thanks for stopping by and Happy Pink Saturday, dear friend.

Oh I love the new pillow. I think only once have my roses dried on their own instead of dropping their petals. Your dried roses are beautiful. Happy PS
Hi Jill,
Don't you just love it when roses do that. Yours are lovely.
Lovely pillow too.
Happy Pink Saturday.

Hi Jil, you are so lucky those pretty roses dried for you. I find that sometimes when the heat is on that happens but not often enough. They don't look real, they are beautiful. What a great idea about the wreath, that would be a perfect way to use them.
You caught me.....I have been itching!!!!! I try not too, but gesh.......
Happy Pink Saturday my friend, Char

Happy Pink Saturday Jil Sweetie...
Oh my gosh are these roses ever exquisite? They dried up beautifully and yes I can see them in many uses. A wreath would be so lovely. The color is just stunning and dried so pretty. Very romantic I think.
Love your new pillow. You just continue to amaze me with your talents my sweet friend. I love the little patchwork. It sure does speak doesn't it? Very refreshing and the perfect item to make any room pop.
Thank you for the beautiful share today. Many hugs and much love, Sherry
You were really lucky. I have never had roses that dried by themselves.
I've never seen white roses to dry so beautifully. These are really gorgeous, not even a dark spot on them.
Beautiful work on this little pillow.
The roses are beautiful and love the new pillow - Happy Pink Saturday!
Oh my those roses dried soooo very well! I tried to dry white roses once, they became tan...lol. I'm sure you will create something lovely with them. Be sure to post it!

Hi! Thanks for dropping by to visit and yes, the little Valentines are my faves!! I love your blog. The furniture, the sweet pillows and pink touches really is inviting. Also love the family pics. I have my granddaughter living at home now for a year and you're right, it's a special time and I'll miss her so much when they move out. Beautiful snow scenes too. I can't imagine having lived down here always. Hope you have a wonderful pink week and enjoy the roses for a long time!
The roses are beautiful and your little pink pillow so pretty!
It was such a joy to see your white dried roses. Yes, it would be nice to put them on a wreath like you used to do. What a glorious Pink blog you have. Happy Pink Saturday.

Hi Jill,

Wow and I say wow again! They dried beautifully - so gorgeous - can't wait to see what you do with them - Love your pillow - amazed at such talent!
God Bless!
Happy Pink Saturday,

Thank you for stopping by. I love how your roses dried. They are beautiful. I agree with what you said in my comments about who says things are outdated? I follow a friends blog who lives in France and she says they do not up date their decor like we Americans do. I think it is part of our consumerism that drives us to update. I like my stuff well aged. It has more stories to tell that way! HPS!
Hi Jil,
Everything is so pretty on your blog ... your roses, your pillow and your home. Thank you so much for stopping by and saying hello.
Happy Pink Saturday,
Kathy
