PINK SATURDAY

Hello and welcome to Pink Saturday hosted by Beverly of How Sweet the Sound. Thank you Beverly for hosting this fun event!
I love yellow in the spring especially when the daffodils are in bloom so I did my little thrift store cake stand up in yellow this month. There are touches of pink here so I thought I could sneak it in a Pink Saturday post. I only post once a week so I often have things here that are not pink. School will be out on June 5th so maybe then I will be able to post more often.




This cute little girl under the cloche is a birthday card from a friend.

The little gardening bear and mouse were gifts from my son.

Some daffodils and other flowers from my garden.

I just bought this Pink Double Knock Out rose last night. I have 2 of these rose bushes now and I just love them. They bloom all summer way into fall. Always covered in blooms.

Apple trees are in bloom in WV right now and the blossems are beautiful.

The scent is heavenly so I always bring some in my kitchen.

I have some great new magazines for reading on the porch this weekend.

I love this one called Where Women Create and my favorite artist Susan Rios is featured in this issue.

Thank you so much for stopping by, it was so nice to visit with you. I hope to be able to visit more blogs this week, My ISP gave me fits this past week. I have a wireless card but in a rural area they are not much faster than dial up. Real bummer for sure. Thank you all who have stopped by to visit and left a comment. I love hearing from you all!

Blessings to ya! Shirl

PINK SATURDAY

Hello and welcome to Pink Saturday hosted by Beverly of How Sweet the Sound. Thank you Beverly for hosting this fun event.

First I'd like to thank you all for your kind comments last week about my son. Bless you all, you are so sweet! We have talked to him several times this week. Just can't grasp that he is so many miles away.

Today for my pinkness I have this pretty little Ribbon Lady that I made this week. I have admired these in antique stores for years and if in good conditon they are very pricey.
These Ribbon Ladies were first made in the 1920's and 30's with paper dolls, ribbons, laces and millinery flowers.
She apprared again in the early 50's and has been sleeping ever since.
I found a pattern book to make them several years ago and finally made one.
This Ribbon Lady I named Annie and she is a 1920's era.
She was so much fun to make and like the ones made years ago she is on black velvet.
She is not going to stay in this frame, I'm going to buy a shadow box or antique beveled glass frame to put her in.

In the closeups you can see the paperdoll.

Next I have a pretty little bouquet I picked from my garden this week.

Thank you so much for stopping by, it was so nice to visit with you.

Have a wonderful week.

Blessings to ya! Shirl

PINK SATURDAY & EASTER

A pic of my spring daffodils.


Today for some pink I have my Spring dress form with pink rose buds.

Here's a little vignette of Easter in Peach.

A little bunny quilt that I cross stitched back in the 80's.

Some little cross stitched ornaments in the peach basket that I also made back in the 80's.

This little peach bunny was one of my first attempts at decorative painting, also done in the 80's.

A closeup of cross stitch ornaments.

Another little vignette of Easter sugar cookies, cross stitch, Easter teapot and hyacinth I picked from my garden.

One of my favorite little cross stitch pieces.

Thomas Kinkade Easter Cottage from a Teleflora arrangement from last Easter.

I just love the cozy look of a Thomas Kinkade cottage!

Well that's it for another Pink Saturday! Thank you so much for stopping by, I'll be back on Monday for Blue Monday with Smiling Sally.

Bless you, Shirl
