PINK SATURDAY

I originally put this little centerpiece together for my kitchen island, when I was having my Book Club for our November meeting. We always seem to gather in the kitchen for our wine and hors d'oeuvres! I left it in place for Thanksgiving dinner, as we were serving our plates off the island. I got several compliments, and I enjoyed it so much myself that I'm using it again this year on my pine dining table.

HAPPY PINK SATURDAY

WISHING EVERYBODY A SAFE AND HAPPY HALLOWEEN.

PINK SATURDAY & MAY DAY

Happy May Day !
and
Happy Pink Saturday !

May Day was celebrated by early European settlers by making May Baskets. The baskets were handmade and filled with spring flowers & treats and left on the doorstep. The giver would knock on the door and run away. If the recipient was able to run and catch the giver a kiss was exchanged!

Today baskets are often made by little children, filled with candy or flowers and then placed on doorsteps or tied to door handles, as they ring the doorbell and dash away before they are caught.

WELCOME HOME

Home is the spot of earth
supremely blest,
A dearer, sweeter spot
than all the rest.
