Pink Saturday

Happy Pink Saturday~

Hello pinkie friends~ Now that we have blogger working again, I had to scramble to get my Pink Saturday post up. I'm not very happy about losing comments and I lost most of a post I was working on for next week's tea party. How did you gals all fare from the ordeal? Anyway, I'm just happy it's working again!

Today's pinks will mainly be from my Anniversary/Mother's Day bouquet.


Two perfect white roses...



And three pink frilly carnations were joined by another from church on Mother's day to make four.


I love the spicy scent from carnations, don't you?  


All snuggled together with a pink bow in my pink vase.


My sweet hubby had gifted me with this vintage rosebud tea cup for Easter. Love the pink rosebuds!
The lovely pearls came in the mail this week from my Auntie P. She got them in Scotland and thought I would like to have them.  She was right!


I do have a little someone all dressed in pink too. This is Jenna-Lynn who is is five months old now.


Big brother Zachary, who is two, is giving his baby sister a kiss. See the pink polka dots on her outfit? These are just two of my little grandbabies.


Thank you for stopping by to see my pinks. I hope you all have a lovely pink weekend. Please see Beverly's parade of pinks by clicking here: http://howsweetthesound.typepad.com/my_weblog/

Sharing Some Whites

Hello everyone~ Today I am sharing some whites.
From my Tea Party this past week, I have a photo of a slice of my Mother's Day cake. As you can see, it is sitting on a lace doilie.


The cake is presented on a Pierced Lace plate with a paper doily under it. It is as good as it looks too!


The tea cup is holding a strand of pearls which my Auntie P gifted me with this week. She is out West right now visiting but put these in the mail just before she left. The pearls were purchased in Scotland in 2007 while she and my uncle were over there. She didn't care for the feel of them around her neck and thought that I might make use of them for display purposes. She is so right!


They have a lovely golden sheen and a very high luster to them. Aren't they gorgeous in my tea cup?


Playing with my pearls...


They look gorgeous in this tea cup too.


I also have a photo from my tea of a lace napkin holding the silverware.


It is adorned with flowers and looks very pretty with the silver tucked inside. What do you think?

And lastly, a white rose from my Anniversary/Mother's Day bouquet looks so romantic with the pearls and lace and votive.


Well, thank you for stopping by for a visit today. Please be sure to visit these other parties to see what everyone is offering today. God bless!
