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!

WHITE WEDNESDAY

Happy White Wednesday !!!

More lake pictures today.......this is our little row/sail boat all decked out for a little romantic picnic.  You will remember my gorgeous white ruffly tablecloth from another post.  I so love it and picked it up at Stella Bleu  in White Rock, BC.

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!

JUST A SUMMER DAY

Happy White Wednesday!!!!
Today I am sharing some pictures of a white candelabra picked up at the thrift
store for cheap, cheap (was a nasty brass, but got the white spray paint treatment).

These are some shots taken at the lake while watching the boys swim and play (okay, better be honest...AND FIGHT!!).

Isn't that sky absolutely amazing!?!
