~IT IS PINK SATURDAY......RIGHT?~

Hello and WELCOME to Pink Saturday...If you click here, and go to
Beverly of How Sweet The Sound... you will find lots "pinkies" to visit today! Thank you, Beverly for providing this fun day for us!


The Vanity Bottles and Pin Cushion can be seen at
< eBay >


This week flew by....in a blur! Are you sure it is not Wednesday? That is what it feels like... lol! Don't you just hate it when your clock somehow, gets off???

Well, I did manage to get a couple of things made this week, but that was about it. Me, who is always so organized, I think....smiles..was anything but. I just have to get myself back under control!! :-)
And..
the cold is here and the wind is howling around the corners and I look out and see my roses that need to be made ready for winter, as well as all my other gardens, and wonder how I will do it in 30 degree weather. Brrrrr! The trees are dressed in their pretty colors, so soft and pastel this year, but most are still green and confused....spring was so late we never thought they would ever get green and bushy and then here came the cold..actually, it never did ever really warm up..and they say snow flurries tomorrow.....I am not ready for this...
So, I wish you cozy fires and mugs of tea and lots of happiness, giggles..and organization!

Happy Pink Saturday

Hi Everyone!
Be sure and visit Beverly our gracious host for this fun get together, to find lots and lots of scrumptious blogs to visit featuring PINK!
Thank you Beverly!






When I planted this Bleeding Heart I had no idea it would get so big and beautiful!
Below, are some of the dainty little blossoms up close.....aren't they just exquisite?
While I call Arizona my home, I have decided I need two homes because the Spring here is just perfect and the Summers aren't that bad. There is humidity, but it does not get to 115 degrees and higher that Arizona can see!!! We will spend the Spring and Summer here, in Michigan and then in October get the house and yard ready for Winter and then head for Arizona, where there are perfect temperatures 'til the end of March and then back to here. Now to find a way to afford that dream!! lol!





A pretty bright pink tulip that the squirrels left for me to enjoy. On the back step, this morning, the little devils had bitten off a bloom and left it on a step! Uggg!




Next week the Lily Of The Valley, below, will have their sweet fragrant blossoms open and the pink, about to pop open, buds of our Crab Apple tree, above, will, too, and I will show you how beautiful they are in all of their glory!








And, of course my darling Violets which just want to grow everywhere! How I love them and have little vases of them scattered about the house. I have had to ruthlessly thin them out, but I can never call them a weed. I LOVE my Violets! They and the Lily Of The Valley are some of the delights of living here.



Below are items I created this week and listed on eBay


A sweet as can be individual dessert server complete with a pretty faux cupcake and below, a plump and pretty pin cushion......

One of my "Spindle Ladies", above......I love these little charmers and this one is much smaller than most that I make. They look so sweet on an end table or a shelf.....
SOLD

Another gorgeous Tussie Mussie full of fragrant lavender and handmade ribbon roses.

Thank you for stopping by and I wish all the Moms a wonderful and happy MOTHERS DAY!
