Pink, with all it’s various shades and hues, is the dominant color in my garden. I do have accents of blue, yellow and lavender, but there’s no mistaking my fondness for the color pink. As the roses burst forth with their first wave of blooms, my garden looks like it’s covered in pink frosting. The second wave of pink arrives in May when the peonies bloom. Who can resist these delicate blooms with their rows and rows of ruffled petals.
I cut a bouquet of frilly pink peonies to photograph with
this small Limoges plate that I bought at the Nashville Flea Market, from one of my favorite vendors.
Her booth is always filled with things I can't resist, and this Limoges plate was one of them. I love the colors in the painting and the beautiful scalloped edge, rimmed in gold.
I made a little mosaic of pink peonies and Limoges.
Everything looks good when paired with a little pink…..don’t you think?
Have a wonderful weekend,
Kay

GORGEOUS pink peonies! Happy Pink Saturday ~ I hope you have a great weekend ~ Susan
Pink isn't just a color...it's an attitude! Love your roses, peonies and Limoges.
It's raining cats and dogs in Upper Michigan today with oodles of cold wind. Not very spring-like so traveling from blog to blog on Pink Saturday is really a treat for me today.
The peonies are breathtaking!
Thanks so much for sharing a little something of yourself today. I really need all the pink I can get with the weather we are having☺
Hoping this weekend is filled with the j♥y of being surrounded by those you love and those who love you.
Ok I am screaming AHHHH:)oooohhhhh!!!
Gorgeous!!!
So fun to know another Kay in the creative blogging world.
Happy Pink Saturday:)

Don't you just love peonies?! They are my very favorite garden flower. A long-gone neighbor who shared her plants with me had the largest blooms you've ever seen. She told me to break off the secondary blooms on each stem so the plant would produce larger flowers, but that is SO hard to do! Large, small. pink, white, and red, I DO love peonies!
Peonies are one of my favorite flowers. Your plate is gorgeous too.
How fantastic that you have a ballerina in the family!And a little newcomer too. You must get so much joy when you watch them dance, lucky you.
Happy Pink Day and thanks for stopping buy Loveleigh Treasures, oh and have a terrific weekend1
Gorgeous, gorgeous! I love peonies, although I will be away this year when they bloom...the Limoges plate is stunning. Happy Pink Saturday!
Hi Kay,

Bonjour Kay!
Thank you for visiting! What beautiful photos you have. I really need to work on my pictures. Thank you for your kind comments; this is such a busy time of year for both my husband and me. I tried taking some "pink" pictures today after finishing up my homework, but they don't match up to yours! You have a lovely style. Come and visit again next weekend! Best wishes, Anita
