Pink Saturday ~ Pink Treasures


Hi everyone ~ Happy Pink Saturday!
I can't believe Saturday is here again so soon!

I have a lot of pink in my home, so coming up with pink certainly isn't a problem for me. These are my contributions for today:

This ceramic bonnet hangs on the wall in the bedroom. I made it in the early nineties, using a dry-brushing technique. There is a pink flowered plant hanging not far from it.


The Christmas angel, I thought I would show one more time before putting her away till next Christmas. She's pretty in her pink toile gown and feather wings. She is accompanied by the pink lamp and sparkly candle centerpiece. Lots of pink!
Last, but certainly not least, is this pink, stained-glass butterfly. It was the last gift I received from my best friend, who passed away in 1990 from breast cancer. Whenever I look at it, I think of her, and I still miss her. I am thankful for the wonderful friendship we shared and all the lovely memories I have. The little butterfly is beautiful, just like she was! Well ladies, those are my pinks for this week. Hope you enjoy your weekend, and be sure to click on this link to go to other wonderful pinks, hosted by Beverly at How Sweet the Sound- http://howsweetthesound.typepad.com/my_weblog/

I've Been Honoured!


Lots of good things are happening in my life these days! We've had a tremendous answer to prayer in my family, for which I am so very grateful to the Lord for. My son Joel and his family are arriving home next weekend, and I'm going to finally get to hold my newest grandbaby.

And I have been honoured with another lovely award.




My friend Judith @ http://judithsquietmoments.blogspot.com/ over across the pond in the UK, has blessed me with The Love Blog's "The Spreader of Love" Award. With Valentine's Day just around the corner, I think this is just the cutest award!

So, I'm sending big hugs and a big thank you to Judith for thinking of me. I also agree with Judith; that awards are meant to be given away.

I have several friends that I hear from on a regular basis, and I want you to know that I appreciate every one of you! But there are three in particular that I would like to bless with an award this time around. I hope you will receive them in the spirit in which they are given!

My Auntie Phyllis who doesn't have a blog of her own but is always there encouraging me on. This is for you too. I love you!

Thank you ladies for your encouraging words and thank you again to Judith. Enjoy your weekend everyone!
