HAPPY PINK SATURDAY!

Today, I'm happy to be joining Beverly  http://howsweetthesound.typepad.com for Pink Saturday.

I've always said that if my fairy godmother granted me one wish, I would wish to be artistic. Isn't going to happen!  But, I recently discovered a really fun place called "Life's A Canvas," and I go there every week and paint a picture. Now, I know it looks like elementary school art, but that's OK... because I'm having so much fun! This week, in honor of my birthday tomorrow, I painted myself a big cupcake.

 
Yesterday, I came home to find this beautiful flower arrangement on my front porch. My sweet sister sent it to me for my birthday. I don't get flowers very often, so this was very special!

HAPPY PINK SATURDAY!

AND, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ANYBODY ELSE WHO HAS A BIRTHDAY THIS WEEKEND!

Thanks to our hostess, Beverly, for another

 
Today, I'm showing you some beautiful pink tulips. Such lovely harbingers of Spring! Here on the Gulf coast, we've been enjoying the most incredible February weather. Every day has been sunny, blue skies and temperatures in the 70's. Our little town has a full-time horticulturist on staff, so we have beautiful flowers year-round, all over town.

Everywhere you turn, there are camellia bushes (trees!) loaded down with blooms.

These camellias are growing in the back yard at my cottage. Despite living in the South, all my life, I can't remember ever seeing this candy-stripe variety of camellias. What a delight, to go outside with my coffee one morning, and find something so special!

HAPPY PINK SATURDAY!

PINK SATURDAY AT THE BEACH

Another fun Pink Saturday, compliments of our hostess, Beverly

 It's February, and we enjoyed a fabulously beautiful day on the beach, at Ft. Morgan, Alabama, on the Gulf of Mexico. This is why we live in the Deep South! 

Can you see that I'm wearing a PINK tee shirt?!!! And, Cupcake has PINK bows in her hair!!!

Cowboy says, "No PINK for me!"

I wish I could say that this PINK house, belongs to me, but (deep sigh) it doesn't...

 And, I wish I had found this PINK shell today, but I didn't.


But, never mind...  I'm just truly grateful that I could spend a day in the warm sun and the warm sand, in the middle of winter.
I hope y'all had a HAPPY PINK SATURDAY, too.

HAPPY PINK SATURDAY ON NEW YEAR'S DAY!!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR !

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

ON THIS BEAUTIFUL OCTOBER DAY!

WISHING EVERYBODY A SAFE AND HAPPY HALLOWEEN.
