Happy Fall Y'All! ♥
Here are pictures for our Pink Saturday tour of fall flowers, pumpkins and foliage.
**Click on all the pictures to make them larger**

We call this "Thelma's Tree" after the sweet lady that lived there.  She passed a few years ago and a new family lives in her little Saltbox Cottage, but to us it is still Thelma's!  I love how there are little bursts of color among the green...

And at our Farmers Market some of the pumpkins and corn stalks in their nursery...

This lovely pot of yellow Mums was a gift from a dear neighbor! She is so thoughtful and sweet!  Thank You, Pat! xo

Foxglove that I had cut back, but we have two new blooms in our mild Fall weather!

White Geraniums still happily blooming!

Our bright pink Clematis is still blooming away against an old door attached to an older table by the garage garden...

And for my last picture, one sweet little pink blooming among the peonies that I must get out and cut back.  The rocks are from our Arizona/Texas trip....I had the car so full of beautiful rocks of all sizes that hubby had to finally tell me enough as we don't drive a pickup and there are tires to consider.  lol!  How I love my Arizona rocks!
Well, these are my pictures of what is going on in our part of Michigan!  So far it has been a lovely fall!
Hop on over to BEVERLY  to visit with all the ladies loving pink and fall to enjoy all of their pictures!
Hugs to all....

It has been so hard to give up Summer!  I think Mother Nature knows this and so she gives us some fun called Halloween.  You can find this vintage Jack-o-Lantern at  CottonCreekCottage  on Etsy

And along with the fun she gives us glorious colors as the trees get ready for their winter slumber.

And inside, I have done a little bit of decorating for us to enjoy.

The darling little votive lamp is a from my daughter a few years back ~

Chenille pumpkins from my good friends shop in California several years ago ~

And this cutie is made from a coconut that was carefully hollowed out.  Miss A. one of our granddaughters gave this to a few years back when they were visiting a pumpkin patch and the owner gave it to her....it is one of my favorites because it is so unusual.

This is my bit of pumpkin sharing and now I am going to go to visit BEVERLY   to enjoy all the blogs celebrating pink and Fall!  Hope to see you there!

I'm late, I'm late!  I can't remember the rest of the words, lol! Today has been such a rush and so was yesterday!  Tomorrow?  I am not doing anything but sewing!  Well, that is my goal, but we shall see!
Here are my pinks for this Pink Saturday ~

Isn't this just the prettiest trivet?  I found this on our trip through Canada for things for my booth in the antique store or our website, but I can not part with it...ever!  lol!

Aren't these sweet?  And, they are in pristine condition and very usable!  I don't know about you all, but I love pretty pot holders and towels.

This is such a pretty tablecloth.  I have it, as well as everything other then the trivet, on our website

but it is really hard for me not to keep it.  I am not sure I am in the right business...lol!

A pretty new pillow and a darling new bag ~

And dear little hearts to fill a bowl or hang as ornaments ~

Well, these are my pinks for this week and now I am going off to see yours!    Be sure to go to BEVERLY    to visit all the Pink Saturday gals and their sweet pinks!

Are you enjoying lots of lovely colors where you live?  I am blown away with the colors here.  I did not expect them with the lack of rain....I will be posting a few pretty pictures next post~

Happy Pink Saturday!

Raindrops And Roses

Hello Sweet Friends,
I have not participated in Pink Saturday for a very long time!  With all that summer has to offer and family visits it seems there just was no  blogging time.  This was a different kind of summer and one I will always remember and keep close to my heart!  Now, it is time to rein in my lazy ways and get back to work!

With a booth in the newly opened antique store on the main street of Port Huron called Forever Classic, I am busy keeping it full!  I am blessed to have a wonderful partner/friend that has the same vision,  so we work well together.  We have been open three months and have been doing so well that my partner has taken another booth with her sister....I have found that it is almost a full time job looking for quality pieces that go with our Cottage theme and to keep The Ruffled Rose full as well ~ ~ ~

This collection of Johnson Bros. SnowWhite Roses is also being offered on our website The Ruffled Rose along with the lovely pieces below ~ ~ ~

Now it is time to run over to visit < BEVERLY and visit with all the lovely blogs celebrating PINK!  I am so happy you came by to say "Hi."
Smiles & Hugs,
Jil ♥
