First Pink Saturday In Too Long

Hello All Pink Sweeties! I have been been remiss with my blogging....Do you ever get kind of burned out with all there is to do? I am talking all areas, not just in blogland. Well, that has been me for a little while. I think I was coming down from all the holiday activities and not sure just what I wanted to do. Maybe I just got lazy! Well, whatever the reason, I am working to get back in my old groove! :)

Just a little reminder to visit all the other amazingly wonderful blogs today, just run on over to Beverly's at How Sweet The Sound and you will find the party going on.

And before I run over to do the same, here is some of what I have been doing....


And a little pillow grouping with the new and pretty pillowslips I just found....the pinks are so dainty and soft and I fell in love with them the moment I found them...
Click on the pictures if you wish a larger view.

I am off now ...
Wishing you Happiness Today And Always!

COLORS PARTY

Hello Sweet Peeps....I am joining the monthly blog Colors party at ETSY COTTAGE STYLE and I hope you will come join me by clicking on the link and visiting all the blogs showing their "whites" this month.....this is the month for brides and beautiful weddings, so it just had to be a "white" month.

It has been so cool, cloudy and even rainy here that I don't have much in my garden. Nothing is really interested in growing or blooming. I have lots of green and my Eden roses had their first gorgeous blooming but nothing white.....yet. So, I took my camera inside and shot a few of my inside whites....I use white and wood as I think they compliment each other and keep it from getting boring. I love colors, especially soft pretty pastel colors and white is a perfect backdrop for them...I admit to a love of red and blue, too, and use the stronger colors mostly the kitchen, I just have to sneak some in. lol!

Have a beautiful day and have fun wandering through our "whites!" Here are some of mine:
The first picture, above, is one of the guest rooms and where my computer is. I love all the comfy pillows and this is "my reading spot". Those two pillows in front are 20 years old!!! I could not believe it when I figured back to when I purchased them in Prescott, Arizona. They are by Waverly and were very expensive which goes to show you get what you pay for. They are made of polished cotton and have wide eyelet ruffles....the pillows behind them mostly have vintage cases....

I love this white picket fence shelf....it holds sweet olden baby shoes in black and other mementos.....I did the watermelon slice years ago.....sold hundreds of them it seems at shows...

A darling and very old little shelf above and another of my "picket" shelves, below....note the pretty white and glass terrarium...inside, it has the daintiest little wrens nest...all the twigs as fine as thread. One of my darling granddaughters, Miss Allie, found it and saved it for me a few years ago. I found a Robins egg that was mostly intact and it gently rests in that little nest....It is one of my favorite possessions!

A wall of white and olden plates with white backgrounds, a part of my olde Kitchen Hoosier and a beautiful spoon rack painted by Celestina Marie....Isn't it a beauty?


And, my last picture is of the dining which is mostly white with white lace curtains and swag valances...only a maple corner cupboard that was my Mom's, a grandfaher clock and my olde Singer sewing machine cabinet and an lovely olde oak chair were not painted....I am still debating on the corner cupboard...
Thank you for stopping by and I hope you enjoyed your visit!
Bye For Now....
Smiles and Hugs,

Pillow Talk And More For Pink Saturday

Hello All.....All week I have ment to come and post...I don't know where the time went. Oh yes,.... I was out shoveling, and then out to shovel some more and in between that I was drinking hot chocolate with whipped cream and sewing....pillows, and then out to shovel a bit more! I know I was not alone in the shoveling! What a storm it was, but nothing here like some got in Missouri, Oklahoma, Chicago and other places! My husband thinks our total was right at 14".



The fun of Pink Saturday is to roam around looking at all the pink and pretty posts and you can find them all at Beverly's so don't be shy...go have some fun!

Here are a few pinks around the house....

A lamp I painted a few years ago....

A favorite antique bowl with a paper mache heart ornament that I have had for more than 20 years...I have two and they were sold as Christmas ornaments, but they are too pretty to put away, so they have always had a spot somewhere in the house all year long!

Pretty hankies that I keep out to make me smile ...

Storage containers in my sewing room....I try to always keep the storage, that stays out in sight, pretty to inspire me...and make the room pretty at the same time!

And pretty fabric squares for a project...
Well, sweet friends, that is all the pink for this week! Now off to see yours!
Be Happy!
