My sister, Debbie, and I were shopping recently. She found a sweet little basket to decorate for Easter…..all it needed was some grass. She chose green grass. I needed grass for my basket, as well. My sister watched as I reached for a bag filled with pastel pink shreds. “Are you buying pink, she asked?” I am, I replied. I think the soft color will compliment the patina of my old basket….pictured here sitting amongst the pink flowers on my needlepoint rug.
This is my Easter basket from my childhood. It survived my teen years by being the place where I stashed my make-up and hair items. I love the shape of this old basket. The colors have faded, but the pink grass adds some interest.
What color grass do you prefer in your basket?
Some pink roses from my garden.

Cute bunny and your rose pictures are wonderful!
Have a great Pink Saturday!
I love your pink basket and I am a pink grass girl myself!!! (except when my oldest son was small, it was the usual green) but all pink for my girlies. Your roses are beautiful, and so is your little girl in her pink dress, what a cutie!
Happy Pink Saturday!

Happy Pink Saturday! Nothing says Happy Pink Saturday then a girl in a Pretty Pink Dress! I love Easter Gras, except when I have it caught in the vacuum cleaner! the flowers are beautiful! Thank you for sharing your Pinks today!

Molly is adorable! I'm so happy that you joined all of us for Pink Saturday. Roses are my favorites when I garden; however, I have an Edwardian home in a Victorian neighborhood so the yards are smallish. How did I remedy that? My whole yard, front, back and both sides are dug up and filled with flowers! YUM! Can't wait to see what you share with us again. Welcome!
I would have picked pink grass, too! Lovely pink post featuring sweet Molly--adorable!
Your pink roses are beautiful. I can never have enough pink roses.
Happy Saturady!

Beautiful Pinks, and Molly is a doll! Welcome and Happy Pink Saturday!
pink grass the only real choice and Easter baskets with history...
happy pink, Heidi
I wish I had my Easter basket! It would have pink grass in it too! Love your roses! Welcome to PS!
beautiful blooms - and beautiful child!
The pink grass is very perky...I've discovered just this year my new favorite 'grass' - it's made from vintage books and sheet music - it's beautiful! Etsy can be a dangerous place to spend time.
HaPpY PiNk SaTuRdAy!
Love the basket!
Happy Pink Saturday!
Cute basket! I like the pink grass, myself. What an adorable little girl! Have a Happy Pink Day!
Blessings,

Welcome to Pink Saturday! I love the pink grass and your roses are beautiful! Molly is adorable. Happy Pink Saturday!
Molly is just adorable. You really do grow some beautiful roses in your garden. Enjoyed your post.
Beautiful pictures! Happy pink Saturday!

We still use our childhood baskets, too. The grass is from the 60s, it's more like shredded wood and it's lots of shades of green.
Hi Kay, Now I'm laughing over your comment. At least my situation was just a cliff with flowers, trees, and moss below; no hot lava! LOL
How adorable! I still have my childhood easter basket too! And Molly is just too cute...Happy pink day!
Hi Kay,
you're not going to believe this...I had that same Easter basket when I was a young girl. I think my mother still has it at home. I'll have to ask her.
It sure was nice seeing it again!

I think you chose well going with pink Easter grass. Green might have been a bit much!
Your four "Loves" are so sweet. I love the picture of Molly.
I wasn't able to officially link up this Saturday, but still posted for Pink Saturday. Hope you can drop by!
Blessings to you from Kansas,

P.S. Love your header!
Your post was full of pretty pink Loveleighness. Your grandchildren are beautiful too. It's so much fun to take pictures of kids, until they've had enough. An Auntie can never have enough though! I'm sure a Grandma can't either. Have a great weekend and thanks for stopping by!
Sweet basket and memories. Your rose photography is beautiful! And mostest beautiful is the wee one in her pink dress amongst the pink flowers.
Have a wonderful weekend.
Jennifer

What a lovely pink keepsake from your childhood.
Happy Pink 1st Saturday!!!

Lovely photos as usual. The one of the rose looks like the rose is glowing. As for Molly...what a beauty!
Molly is pretty in her pink dress! I miss my daughter dressing in clothes that I made for her. Such a sweet age.
I like your pink grass! And your roses too! ::Jill
You're so lucky to still have that basket. I love sentimental things. I prefer no Easter grass...I still have nightmares about trying to vacuum it up when my kids were little. :) Happy Pink Saturday!
What lovely Easter goodies. And that photograph of Molly is absolutely priceless!
Thank you for visiting me at The Tea Room, and Happy Pink Saturday to you, too!

Pink grass is perfect for your Easter basket and perfect for your sweet little girl's dress. Your blog is just beautiful. I love your blog header. I'm so glad I visited on Pink Saturday!
Like my baskets from childhood -- alas, I don't have any! I would never have bought pink grass but somehow it DOES look right in that basket!
The picture of Molly is my favorite; although, I love your Easter basket with pink grass and your flowers are beautiful!
awww you got lovely lady in pink! love her dress.. Happy PS!
How wonderful that you thought outside the box and purchased pink grass for your childhood basket. It does look fantastic!

your pictures are wonderful, I like the one with the child best, she looks so at ease...
I just think that is the best...you saved your Easter basket! Pink grass? Is there REALLY another choice? I'm still visiting all PS post. Have a wonderful week.
Thanks for sharing!
Happy (belated) Pink Saturday...on Tuesday! X Es X
How wonderful to have your childhood basket still. I love the pink grass, but I think I still prefer green.
I wanted to thank you for your support during this difficult time.
Hugs!

Love the basket, bunny, pink grass.. and the little cutie in the pink dress. Happy PS!
Welcome to your first Pink Saturday, Kay. I am trying to catch up on a few visits while my mother is resting.
I have pink grass in my Easter basket, too. In fact, my basket reminds me of yours.
Your little Molly is a vision of beauty in her pink.
