PINK SATURDAY & SOME MORE FALL IN WV


Hello and welcome to Pink Saturday hosted by Beverly of How Sweet The Sound. Thank you Beverly for hosting this fun event! You can go here to get a list of all the participants. Please click on the picture to get a larger view.

The first pink I have for you today is some Stargazer Lily's that I treated myself to from the supermarket yesterday. I really miss them in my garden and love the scent so they just had to come home with me. I don't pick them up in the florist anymore because now they charge $5.00 for every bloom on the stem. That can get pretty pricey! Most stems have at least 5 blooms and it take 3 stems for a nice arrangement. Supermarket $10.00 for whole bouquet can't beat that!





My next bit of pinkness is a pretty little rose frame that I've had for years. My grandson was under a year old in this picture and he will be 18 next month.



Next I have my pretty little Mary Engelbreit tea cup.

A napkin that I made to go with it.

A pretty collection of pink fabrics that I picked up at Joanne fabric store. I'm not sure what I'm going to do with them yet. I'm trying to come up with something really special.
The next few pics are some gifties that I have received from my PRH Sisters.
First is a collection of vintage wallpapers from Rhea of Miss Rheas. I can't wait to make something pretty from these. Thank you Rhea!


Next I have a pretty vintage pink crochet cotten doillie from Steph of Angelic Accents. Thank you Steph, as you can see I have just the perfect place for it!

A pretty card and glitter initial from Vickie of Visuals by Vickie. Thank you Vickie, I want to make my sewing room look like this card!

That's it for pink now on to some fall.
My hubby and I took a ride last night through the farm. It's getting pretty but not peak yet. Wait till you see how pretty that will be.
First is a pic on dear hubby on the gater with a pretty hillside behind him.
Another hillside.


I thought is was pretty in here, alot of yellow.


I thought this road looks like a scene out of a Thomas Kinkade picture.


We saw alot of deer, when I zoomed in it made the picture blurry but you can still see her.




That's it for another Pink Saturday, thank you so much for stopping by. I hope you enjoyed, please leave me a comment, I'd love to hear from you!
Blessings, Shirl

PINK SATURDAY & A LOOK AT FALL


Hello and welcome to another Pink Saturday hosted by Beverly of How Sweet the Sound. Their are 102 participants this week. Thank you Beverly for hosting this fun event.

First this week I thought I would show you this sweet little potholder hanger that my daughter Jen from Jen's Petal Palace painted. This is one of my favorite things that Jen has painted for me.


I love her roses on this piece, Jen's been teaching me to paint roses and I'm not anywhere close to her's yet but I will keep trying!

Next I thought I would show you a few of my favorite kitchen refrigerator magnets.

I love this little mini cork board for mini notes.

I love all things teatime.

The next two are old calendars but I love them too much to pack them away. Look how pretty they both are!



I have a friend that goes to Maine every year for two weeks and this little cel phone case is one of the gifts that she has brought back for me. I use it for my scissors since I don't carry my cel phone in it. I love the wool heart with embroidery. I really love things that are made with wool like this.
My sister Elizabeth gave me the pretty little needlework silver scissors .

A pink powderpuff hollyhock from my garden.

Two of my favorite pink books that I have recently gotten.
This book is so sweet and has so many sewing projects that I can't wait to get to.
This one is titled Sew Pretty Christmas Homestyle.

This one is titled Sew Pretty Homestyle. So many fun projects in these books!

This is a pretty little Peace sign that I made this week and is available at Shirls Velvet Attic.

A closeup of the millinery and pretty little bow.
That's it for my pink this week, now on to a little fall in my neighborhood.
Here's Bently to wish you a Welcome to Fall. I rescued Bently about ten years ago he is the most lovably cat!

Some fall cupcakes I made for a lunch guest this week.
A look at fall on our farm. Leaves are just starting to change.


This is a beautiful road on our farm that I love to walk down.

A look down the road on our farm, this leads back to my daughters home.

A peek at some of my fall decorations, I'm still making a few things and will post more decorating pics later.

Thank you so much for stopping by and seeing my pink this week and a look at fall in WV.
