PINK SATURDAY

Happy Pink Saturday!!!!!!

I wanted to show you a special little gift I received for my birthday last year from one of my boys.  Every Christmas and birthday my middle son arranges with one of his aunties to take him to one of my favorite stores where he spends about an hour looking around and then finally choosing something very special for me!!  He is such a sweetheart!!

This pretty little candle was made by Anna Corba of Found Cat Studio.  She is one of my favorite artists and I also have a couple of her books which are so very inspiring!

Please visit Beverly's blog at How Sweet the Sound for links to all the Pink Saturday participants.
Happy day!

May the road rise to meet you,

May the wind be always at your back,

May the sun shine warm upon your face,

The rains fall soft upon your fields and,

Until we meet again,

May God hold you in the palm of His hand.

PINK SATURDAY ROSES

Happy Pink Saturday............

I met so many new blogging friends last week....thank you for visiting my blog and leaving such lovely comments!!!!!!  Blogland really is one of THE MOST INSPIRING PLACES!!!

Today I wanted to show you some gorgeous PINK roses from my garden.  They are David Austin climbing roses and are one of my favorites!!!

The beautiful hand stamped ribbon you see along side my centerpiece is from my friend Tracey,

 at Raggygirl Vintage.  She absolutely spoiled me on my birthday and you will be seeing more of the fabulous things she made for me!!!!

I found this little galvanized container at the thrift store......stenciled some words on it, filled it with water, floating candles and my pretty roses.

Thank you to Beverly at How Sweet the Sound for hosting Pink Saturday......be sure to visit her blog for links to all the participants!!!!

Happy day!

VINTAGE PINK

Hello blogging friends.  One day this spring while shopping at the thrift store I found this amazing old prom dress that I just had to have.  In reality, I will never wear it (can't even begin to get the zipper done up), but I thought it would look so pretty just hanging in my studio and I will also use it for a prop in some of my photography so you are sure to see it in some future posts.

Today I am participating in Pink Saturday hosted by Beverly at How Sweet the Sound.  Be sure to stop by her blog for links to all the participants.

all the books I want to read, and all the friends I want to see."-John Burroughts

Have a wonderful weekend!
