Ring-aling-a-ling, Calling all Pinkies!

Ring-aling-a-ling, ring-aling-a-ling! Calling all Pinkies!

Would you like a cup of tea while you're visiting? This is the Rose Bud teacup I shared this past week at my tea party. It's covered in pink posies and is a delight to sip tea from!




Ever since I was a little girl, I have loved the Princess phone; especially pink and white ones! We had a white one in our home for a while when I was growing up and I've always wanted to have one of my very own. But they were very hard to come by, until now!

This phone has been calling me since Christmas and I finally answered the call and brought her home! 




Isn't she purty? She is a touch phone but she's made to look like a dial phone. I just love it!





She's sittin' pretty next to a watering can holding pink spray roses. And yes, the roses are real!



If you want to see lots more pinkness, then please stop by Beverly's and you can get your pink fix all weekend!

Do you play April Fool jokes on anyone? I do and I have succeeded in getting my hubby every year since we've been married! He hasn't gotten me yet! 
The jokes have ranged from pretending to see coyotes in the front yard, {he is VERY nosy  inquisitive and he had to go look out the window}, to putting scotch tape on the bottom of the mouse so he would think there was something wrong with the computer! Yes, I know, I'm bad! *giggles* I try not to take myself too seriously!

Thanks for visiting me today and have a delightful and fun weekend.

  1. Oh I just adore your pink phone!

    My bff when I was little had one of the rotary original pink phones like that in her bedroom and I coveted it like no tomorrow.

    I had to settle for my BARBIE having one. Princess phones, definately awesome.

    Wowm can you believe it is time to "think pink" again? This week went by fast, didn't it?

    Have a blessed weekend, Sandi!

  2. Dear Sandi, CONGRATS on your prettay!!!
    We should have fun in life and I believe you've got yourself a treasure.

    I do remember the Princess Phones. PINK is the way to go!

    I think I could get use to the idea of having a PINK PRINCESS phone myself.

    God bless and have a sweet Spring,

  3. Hi Sandi
    I had a rotary dial pink princess phone in my bedroom growing up. Should have kept it.
    You better hope your hubby doesn't read your blog and get you with a trick this year! :-)

  4. Such sweet memories. When I was a young girl, nothing said "feminine" like a pink princess phone. Loved your apron post, too. Have a great weekend!

  6. Oh I love your new phone! That's something we never had but I remember girlfriends who had them. You are a naughty tease on April Fool's Day aren't you. Hubby always would tease me about something like the weather. Last year Mother Nature pulled a big joke on us with a foot of snow on April 1st!! I hope not this year. Have a lovely weekend Sandi.

  8. Oh Sandy,

    I had a pink princess phone when I was a young teen. I was so thrilled with it too. I am glad you brought that home for you. Hmmm, now I wonder if I can find one too.

    Happy Pink Saturday.

  10. I wanted a pink princess phone so badly when I was a child! Never got one, though. lol Your teacup is gorgeous, as always. I haven't visited Tuesday teatime lately as I have only a small collection of pretty teacups and ran out of ones to post about! That's a good reason to go to the antique stores, don't you think so?
    Hugs, Cindy

  15. Princess phones. Oh my - how well I remember. I even had little ones for my Barbie dolls. Long since gone (the both of them, dolls and miniature phones). Everyone I knew wanted a princess phone! Happy Pink Saturday! Looks like you're celebrating pink just fine!

  20. Sandi,
    What a lovely post!
    I remember growing up with a princess phone but since most homes then only had one phone, it was in the Kitchen and matched my parent's Kitchen which was turquiose!!
    Have a great weekend!!

    Hugs,,

  26. Hi Sandi,

    Love this pink phone! I had one when I was 16. Wish I could find one now. I featured one of your pretty sprintime poems on my blog. Hope you don't mind. It was so pretty, I couldn't resist. I linked back to you.

    Hugs,

  28. Hi Sandy, you have a great sense of humor. Tomorrow morning I will try to fool my hubs. I don't know what yet but I can usually fool him. He is a trusting soul and thinks positive about everyone until proven wrong.

    Love your pretty tea cup as always.
    Happy days to you and yours this weekend.
    Hugs, Jeanne

  30. Hi Sandi,
    LOVE your pink princess! My first phone was a TRIMLINE. NOW I wish I had gotten the princess. AND it would have been rotary dial(that's why I got the trimline, SO I could have the buttons on the receiver)...Thank you SO MUCH for your beautiful PINKS and all the memories it "sparked"...
    Big Hugs,
    Donna

  31. I just laughed out loud reading your April Fool Jokes. My husband has one ready for my daughter's boyfriend. Since RB works at Indiana Wesleyan University Emily's education if free. And that's important enough to wait until graduation for marriage. RB is writing a letter "from" the university stating that since she's such a good student they are offering her a free master's degree as long as she is living at home. Crazy!

    Emily and Jonathan are changing their facebook statuses to "single" to freak out their friends.

    Gotta love April 1st!

  36. Sandi: I've just come to your blog through the recommendation of Judith at Lavender Cottage. I am finding it so beautiful. Since my daughter is a breast cancer survivor, I have become very fond of pink. Happy Monday..Judy
