PINK SATURDAY - FRENCH CONNECTION

I LOVE PINK ROSES !!!!

The name of this lovely rose is Old Paris. I can only speculate as why it was given this particular name........maybe because the vivid shade of pink is reminiscent of the wonderfully rich colors used on the vintage porcelain pieces, which are also called Old Paris.

This rose is a very prolific bloomer, so I'm constantly cutting little bouquets. I found this little vintage bottle at an antique store........I think Old Paris roses should feel right at home in a bottle that says Paris down the side, don't you agree ?





I plan to print gift tags from this photo of the Eiffel Tower, that I altered in Photoshop. I love the pink glow of the setting sun against the blue sky.




I had to include this photo of Molly that I took after one of her recitals. We looked around and there she was, white tutu and all, sitting in a bed of clover! The girl just can't pass up an opportunity to pick a bloom.

TODAY IS OUR ANNIVERSARY


Eighteen years ago today, a young widow, who was raising two children on her own, married her soul’s truest mate. For eighteen years he has been her partner in love and life, her refuge, the sharer of her dreams, the keeper of her heart, and her very best friend on this earth.

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY, MY LOVE.

PINK SATURDAY --- ETCHED CRYSTAL DESSERT CUPS

I love pretty serving pieces.
I found these little etched beauties on a recent antiquing trip.



What’s that? Yes, I know they’re not pink!
Just stay with me, I’m getting there.



I also found this sweet pink berry basket, and filled it with cherries.
I’m crazy for cherries! I love cherry lifesavers, and cherry limeades from Sonic, but my absolute favorite cherry treat, is Cherry Garcia ice cream. Hmmmm……




I’m thinking……dessert in the garden tonight.

 
See! Here are my pretty etched dessert dishes, filled with delicious (pink) cherry ice cream.
YUM!




Have a wonderful weekend,
Kay
