Hello All....This is our day to show each other our delicious PINKs, so be sure and go to Beverly's to find all the blogs to visit for this Saturday! Isn't she a sweetheart to hostess this for us? Thank You! Beverly.....

I have been doing a lot of this and that and when I look back over the week I don't think I accomplished much! lol! I didn't do any creating as I have been kind of "brain dead" in that department. Do you ever get that way? Or maybe it is just a touch of Spring Fever. Once in a while it hits and I have found the best way to deal with it is not to force anything and just roll with it....inspiration will come back in its own time!
I did do a little treasure hunting and found these two pretty plates...


They will probably wind up in tiered dessert servers....

And this little beauty I found somewhere on our way back home, last year, from Texas and California. I love this plate as the glaze is very different. It is a satin and it makes the roses and designs on the plate very soft and so pretty.

And here is a preview of what is to come....this is one of many buds on my climbing rose bush, Eden. The bush is just covered and I will be so happy to look out one day and find one has opened up.....this is a beautiful English rose and one of the most beautiful of all the roses!

A hanging basket I planted with bright blue Lobelia and pink and white Fuchsias. They have not been growing very fast or as well as they should with all of our cloudy and chilly weather! This has been such a different spring!

These are my pinks for this week so I am going to wish you all a wonderful and happy PINK SATURDAY and go and visit each of you!
Bye For Now,

The Wearing Of The Green

Happy St. Paddy's Day to all my dear friends! Don't forget to go and visit Miss Beverly for all the blogs celebrating Pink And Green! It should be a blast!

I don't have much green in my home, but there are some touches as there are many hues that I just love like the green hubby painted this screen ... and of course the beautiful green leaves of the plant...

A Vintage plate with a band of soft green....

This hand blown Venetian glass apple was my mothers. It has many flecks of real gold and is so pretty with the light streamng through....

More pretty green courtesy of Mother Nature...

And this was courtesy of Mother Nature this morning...6 more inches!




A teeny artichoke teapot that I have had for years....


And a pretty little plate I found at the Salvation Army for .50. I was so delighted and surprised it was still there.

Well...these are my greens and I can hardly wait to see all of yours...

Pink Saturday & Valentines Day

Happy Pink Saturday and Happy Valentines Day to all....
I had such good intentions of making all my Valentines this year .... something handmade and from the heart says L-O-V-E most of all. Well, I am feeling so disappointed in myself because that just did not get done!
I purchased a Cricut when they were on sale, last weekend, and I got bogged down in learning how to use it. It is not hard, but there are several little things to learn and the time flew by with me not getting one Valentine done. Sigh! I hope all my sweeties will understand and I promise that I will make it up at Easter....I am getting started NOW!

I did manage to get two new things done and on the The Ruffled Rose


And a pillow with the sweetest little girl by Ellen Clapsaddle....

Atleast this week was not a total loss and we only had to shovel twice, too! lol!

I hope you all have a happy and romantic Valentines Day!

SNOWY PINK SATURDAY~

Happy Pink Saturday, Dear Friends.....Busy, busy, busy is what I have been this week. You know, you see a dust bunny and then start to notice more and then you are in it...cleaning and organizing and when you are all through...you look around and feel twenty pounds lighter....stuff you don't use is gone, things are looking good and you are ready to get back to work....well, that was me this week!

BTW...do go and pay Beverly a visit and you will see all the marvelous pinkalicious blogs to visit...

Here is what we woke up to this morning...Isn't it pretty? Until the snowblowers started and people started shoveling, it was so quiet, so peaceful....




I love my little yard angel out in the snow....you can see the snow still falling....I know she will be happy when the Iris she is standing in reappear!


And, yes, I did get something made this week...one of several small heart boxes I have been having fun with. You can see more of this one at my My Website




Wishing you a fun and cozy winter weekend.....Jil

Well, my pink loving friends....another week has somehow flown by and here it is Pink Saturday, again. I love PS mornings as it is so relaxing to sit in my pj's and robe with a cup of coffee or tea, or a Dr. Pepper, and go visiting. Especially since the days have grown cold, dark and wintery.....Be sure and visit Miss< Beverly >

for all the other pretty pink blogs to visit....

When I am chilly, I curl up in this fabulous soft and warm throw.....

I walked into one of my favorite haunts to shop...T.J.Maxx, and heard it calling my name.....I could not believe how incredibly pretty and soft it was....there is a deep ruffle at each end which just made me swoon....the price was perfect and it is b-i-g, too. I have my first "blankie". LOL! I can not go to sleep without this over me....I know my hubby thinks I may have gone over the edge, but thats OK! It not only takes the chill away...it makes this ole girl happy!

And, I don't think I have shown you this pretty plate that I found years and years ago in an antique store on Whiskey Row in Prescott, AZ. (That is a famous street in downtown Prescott....the cowboys would come into town, so the story goes, and would dare each other to see who would still be standing after drinking all the way down this street to the last saloon.....I love that story!)

And lots of pretty pink in these lovely Shops.....Shabby Cottage Shops December ad in Romantic Homes.....we invite you to all come shopping and to register for our Pink Present Give A Way.....


Have a joyous weekend and week!
