PINK SATURDAY --- PINK CREATURES

My post is short today, in fact, I'm surprised that I've found time to post anything at all. You see, every waking moment for the next two weeks will be devoted to enjoying my granddaughter, who has come for a visit.

Molly and I pondered , and agonized over what to post for Pink Saturday?????????????????????

Then, just as we were about to give up, that proverbial LIGHT BULB came on over Molly's head. Lets see if we can find some pink animals, she said.......because Molly is a gentle soul who loves all creatures.

HERE ARE MOLLY'S FAVORITE PHOTOS:

Newly hatched robins

A Papilio Romanzovia Butterfly

A pink flamingo, with it's head tucked under it's wing.

A pink pig, whose best friend is a tiger.

AND HERE ARE MY FAVORITE CREATURE PHOTOS:

A cute little pink poodle, named Molly.




Molly was two years old, and not interested in wearing a Halloween costume. My daughter and I decided that if we could doll-up a nice comfy pair of sweats she might agree to dress up. So we bought several yards of pink tulle and free handed our way to a pink poodle. I even made her a silver sequined collar with the name FIFI printed on it.

SHE LOVED IT!

Have a wonderful weekend,

Kay

PINK SATURDAY --- PINK BONNETS

Yesterday’s trip to the flea market was a successful one. I found several treasures, including the two items I’m sharing this morning.

The first was found in a box of baby clothes. I almost overlooked it, because it was so crumpled and dirty that I thought it was a scrap of fabric left over from cutting out a pattern…….but when I smoothed out the folds, here is what I found.

Don’t you just love the rows of lacy ruffles.

The second was neatly displayed on a shelf among other baby items. It’s sweet, almost rosy, color and simple lines captured my heart, and I knew I had to buy it.

It’s ribbon ties are missing, so until I can find a length of ribbon in the right color, I have attached two small, millinery flowers at each side.


I brought the items home and gently hand washed them. Then, I very carefully pressed them. They are very delicate………but very beautiful!

Have a wonderful Memorial Day weekend,

Kay

Pink Saturday --- Pink Peonies & Limoges

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
