Hello and welcome to Pink Saturday hosted by Beverly of How Sweet the Sound. Thank you Beverly for hosting this fun event. If you go to visit her you can get a list of all the other participants.
First I'd like to thank you all for your prayers and concerns for Molly the Newf. She is doing well now, her stitches are out and the drainage has stopped. She has not bloated back up like we were afraid of. Prayers have been answered. Were so happy to have our Molly back in good health and pray that she stays that way.
Now on to pinkness, today I'd like to show you this cute little shelf sitter that I purchased on ebay. This company called Stromboli's Wagon takes vintage images, enlarges them and attaches them to wood, cuts them out and adds some glitter. They have the prettiest designs ever! Love them!
As soon as I saw this one I had to get it as it reminded me of my sister and I when we were living in Kansas, I was only 7 at the time, she was 10, and she came home all excited because she learned how to knit. Of course she taught me right away and I always had to sit and hold her yarn while she wound it up into a ball.
I bought this one for my sewing room which I hope to get painted pink over the winter. This room needs a good freshening up and purging. My walk in closet has standing room only. LOL
I'd thought I'd show you some of my Halloween and Fall decorations. This picture below is one of my favorite things that I've ever done in cross stitch. It's one of the first things that I made back in 1981 when my sister taught me to cross stitch. I still love to pull this out every fall, just a sweet view of a country kitchen with pretty curtains and a pretty fall landscape view out of the window.
Some Halloween on my little Hoosier (that still waiting refinishing,LOL).
A few closeups.
Some Halloween souffle's that I made last year.

A few close-ups around my kitchen.
Halloween in my foyer, pics are not too good in this room, we have had rain all week and the light has just not been right for pics.
My daughter Jen from Jen's Petal Palace painted this pretty pumpkin for me.

Hi Shirley,
Love all of your pretty pinis today. The shelf sitter is adorable. I will have to check out that site. I like the pictures and shelf sitters with glitter. You do such beautiful cross stitch. The pictures are so pretty. And all of your Halloween things are so cool. I have a Halloween tree similiar to yours. My little grandson came over, and said "grandma how come yu have your Christmas tree up already."? Tooo cute. thanks for putting together such a nice post for us. Have a great weekend!

I would have never thought of putting pink, black and orange together, but they make a rather interesting color combination! Happy Pink Saturday!
Great to hear that Molly is doing better, Shirley! Great decorations! You have a wonderful collection. I did think that beautiful pink candle holder looked a little lost amongst all the dark colors...so you can send it my way if you'd like ha!
Have a lovely weekend!

Hi Shirl,
Oh I am so glad your sweet Molly is doing better. I know you are so happy.
The girls with the yarn piece is simply divine. I can see why you wanted it. So so cute!!
Love all your Halloween and Fall decor. Everything is so wonderful and displayed so perfectly. The cross stitch you made is just darling. Love your confections too and the pumpkin that Jenn painted.
I also enjoy the gooseberry patch books and have a few too. I used to sell them when I had a brick and mortar store. They always sold well.
Love the cross stitch pillow you did on your vacation too.
Hope you have a great week. I am so busy here. See you again soon.
Love ya, Celestina Marie
