Is It Already Pink Saturday? Whew....Time's A Flyin'!!! YIKES!

Hi Chickies!

And, Happy Pink Saturday!

Hosted by our sweet Beverly at www.howsweetthesound.typepad.com

Isn't she a dollface to host this fun event every week?

Beverly said we could deviate from the pink theme a little bit for the next few weeks since lots of the girlies decorate for Christmas with red....and after all....pink is just light red, right?

Well, I actually do decorate with pink. My house is soooo pastel that red is really too bright here at the cottage.

Our assignment this week is to reveal our favorite Christmas decoration.

Mine? This nativity. Isn't it beautiful? My sweet and wonderful daughter bought this for me for Christmas a few years ago. I adore it.

As I've said.......I'm not one to shy away from marriage....and the second time (yep, you heard me right).....I had a little stepdaughter who was about ten at that time.....I asked her to help me decorate for Christmas and she was thrilled to be involved.

Years before I had purchased a Precious Moments nativity that was the sweetest little thing ever.....My little stepdaughter was in charge of setting it up.

I was doing other things and when she said to come and look, she was all finished....all I could do was cry. I had had this nativity for years and the faces were so darn sweet I always wanted them to show so I faced them all to the front.........

Not this little gal........she faced every single face where they should be focused...

Toward the Baby Jesus.

Is that not the sweetest and dearest thing ever?

I've NEVER faced them to the front again and I think of her every year when I set my nativity up.

The Precious Moments nativity? Yep......my daughter loved it so it lives at her house now.

I think she knew how much I missed it so she bought me this new one. *wink*!!

Several months ago that dear little Stephanie at Rose Petal and Rust had a giveaway for these delish vintage pink balls and I WON!

Aren't they yummy? I was so excited to get them....in their cute little packaging with a posie on top! Ahhhhhhhhh......... :-)

I actually bought that silly little tree on Maui!.....after Christmas for 50% off. My kind of buy!

More of those delish pink balls.......and a little robin egg blue bird on top....My sweet daughter bought that for me too! Isn't it cute?

I bought the little glittery silver box at Joann's a couple of weeks ago....for next to nothin'...

And that sweet little box? Goodwill! It has ILY on the top. I couldn't figure out what that meant...wellllll.........silly me! I love you! Oh, who cares.....I thought it was so sweet and I neeeeded it! Why, in heaven's name is my lampshade crooked? Well, too late to take another picture.

Yep, those sweet little Goodwill shoes again. I just love 'em. They make me feel like dancin'.....Do you think Dorothy would wear pink instead of red in this Shabby Chic era?

Hello Yellow Brick Road!

Ok..........sweet and wonderful girlies!

You won't want to miss all of the other delish Pink Posts for Pink Saturday!

I'm thrilled you took time to come by.

Huggies and Lovies,

Hey Girlies! It's Pink Saturday! YIPPPEEE!

Oh, how I love Pink Saturday...isn't it wonderful to get all "filled up" with that glorious color?



I always think my house is so pink until I try to take pix and it seems like nothing's pink.

Oh yes....are those the cutest little pink girlie shoes EVER? I so wish I had these for my little girl back in the day. They're the happiest little shoes.

I actually bought them at the Goodwill! I never look at shoes, but was passing by on my way to check out the house-ie stuff and these caught my eye. Pink AND sparkles??? Oh yes! There must have been at least 10 perfect pairs of little girlie shoes.....you know, the kind that make you say ahhhhhhhhhhh........?? Now, I have no use whatsoever for these, but they made me happy, so what the heck....bring 'em on home, right? :-)

I would have kept them forever if they belonged to my little girl!

I'm sorry this picture is a bit blurry.....

Don't you just love that?

Bidden or unbidden God is always present.

Comforting and at the same time it makes me think before I say things.... :-)

Printed on cute little paper and framed. I actually have lots of little things like this around the cottage. One of my dear friends always says "And God is still in control"....so I have one that says that too. :-)

My sweet Mum bought this little, tiny dish for me.

Isn't it darling?

Girlies! I'm so grateful to you.

My purpose for beginning this blog was to help deal with the grief after the death of my Mum last December.

My Mum was always the one who was most thrilled with all my little projects. She'd have to hop in her little red Honda and zip on over to see what I was making.

I've been putting off the re-doing of the den because projects were so connected to her praise.

Finally, I thought I'd just start............get the fabric out and get with it.....


I want you to know how much your sweet comments have meant to me.

You've cheered me on and your encouragement helped me jump in. And, I've been so inspired by all of your lovely homes, so envious of your thrifty finds and enamored my your fabulous projects.

I've said it many times, but this is why I love the Blog World so much. Where else could you find so many fabulous women? They don't know you and maybe you'll never meet but they really care about you and don't we all need a bit more of that?

So.............I've finished SEVEN pillows and the chair and stool slipcovers!

Just a second, I have to pat myself of the back.... :-)


God Bless every single one of you.

You are precious to me.


Please don't miss all of the other yummy pinkalicious things!

Beverly over at www.howsweetthesound.typepad is hosting this delish event so zip right on over there. She's asked us to actually put the Pink Saturday post for our link, but I still don't know how to do that. I'm ever so sorry.


Have a wonderful and safe weekend.

Hugs to all of you!
Spence
