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

This week is Military Appreciation Week~~~~~~quoted~~~~~~"A U.S. Member is somewhere in the world tonight missing their family while you are safe at home. In the minute it takes to read this military members all over the world are not only saving lives but, they are sacrificing their own life for your freedom." Thank a military member to show them your appreciation !!!!!

I would like to take this time to thank all of you who have expressed your thoughts and prayers for my Son and Grandson who are serving in the military!
I appreciate your comments and prayers soooo much! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

Thank you also to all of your family and friends that are serving in the military. We have a long line of military members in my husbands family and mine. I have so much respect for the people that have and are now serving our country.

I found this adorable little plate at a Flea Market for $4.00, could not resist it. Not only the cute cottage with a yellow ribbon like I have displayed myself since my son left for Afghanistan last Feburary but also for the cute little pink rose covered walkway.

My poor yellow ribbon is torn and tatterted, LOL, but not to much longer to go. Bob will be home in Feburary. We are so proud of him and also proud of our Grandson Joey who is serving in the US Navy going to dental school.

Since our road is private and not a public road we can get away with putting the bow on it.

Made a stop at the grocery store on the way home from work on Thursday and found these pretty Stargazer Lily's on the clearence table because they had a few bumps and bruses. Still lots of blooms to open and the scent I just can't resist bruses or not. LOL

Hard to believe that Thanksgiving is right around the corner.

Look at these cute little lamps I picked up at a flea market this week, The milk glass were $2 each and the crystal was $4. I love milk glass and plan on using some in my newly decorated sewing room. These will be just perfect. I plan on putting new crystals on the one lamp then make pretty lampshades for all three.

My reads for the weekend. I've always wanted an Yorkshire Terrier and plan on getting one when I retire. I picked up this book thinking it would be a good time to start doing a little reading on the breed.

A beautiful new book from my book club. This book is just fabulous!!!

Well that's it for another Pink Saturday, I only post once a week so I tend to get alot in on one post, hope you don't mind. It was so nice to visit with you!

Blessings, 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.
Today for my pink I have this pretty little cross stitched lamp that I made many years ago. I've always loved this and I just got the big idea in my head that it would be cute to sew on some pretty little crystal beads to put where the crystals are cross stitched on this. On the lookout for tiny crystals! LOL

My favorite lily "Stargazer" is in bloom in my garden now. I plant more of these every year. I love them and the scent is fabulous! You can smell them as soon as you enter my garden gate and while setting on the porch.

My quilt guild had a Christmas in July cookout this past week and we had a "Yankee gift swap" Below are the gifts that I made for the swap.

First I have a little pincushion I made using my pumpkin pattern then I attached a little vintage ballerina and some little pearls and a faux cupcake flower.

Next I made a little needlecase using a "Sunbonnet Sue cut out from a piece of fabric then embellished with crystal beads and ribbon.

You lift her skirt to find the place to keep your needles.

I had made a bunch of these to sell on my Etsy site but sold them all to friends before they made it to my shop. I'm working on more now.

I also coverd a little box with a sewing room fabric and embellished with some yoyo's.

That's it for my pinkness today. Thank you so much for stopping by, it was so nice to visit with you.

Have a wonderful week!

Blessings to ya, Shirl
