Pink Saturday


Good morning Pinkies and "Happy Pink Saturday" to you all! Today, I have a few pinks for you to see.

The first is an angel that my son Joel gave me for Christmas one year. She has lace on her sleeves and her frock, spanish moss for hair, and pink crepe paper wings. There is some pink in her frock too. She holds her wreath by a pink ribbon. She's a cutie!
Then there is this white ceramic kitty that a girlfriend made me when Joel was born. As you can see, Miss Kitty has pink ears, a pink nose, and a very pink tongue. She has been in our home for over thirty years. Yesterday, I made an old-fashioned Gingerbread cake with my grandmother's Vinegar Sauce to pour over it. Very tasty! As much as I enjoy whipped cream with gingerbread, I find the cake is more delicious served with either the Vinegar Sauce or homemade pink strawberry-applesauce. It tastes wonderful with both! We enjoyed it with some candlelight and pink lemonade in my pink goblets. These dishes would normally fall into the red category, but they are really a pink floral pattern. I got the set just before Eatons went out of business. Most of them came from my mother as gifts at Christmastime. Won't you join us for some pink lemonade and Gingerbread? Just pour on some warm Vinegar sauce from my Rose Chintz pitcher or spoon on some applesauce from my little jam jar. Then, after your visit with me, please make your way over to Beverly's at http://howsweetthesound.typepad.com/my_weblog/ for more pink treats today. Have a great weekend everyone!

    You made my mouth water as I remember my Mum's gingerbread and hot vinegar sauce. I have that recipe. Since I am the only one to eat it here I don't make it but it goes so nicely on cold days.

    Love you Spirit Song blog too. Many will get encouragement from your experience with our Lord as you walked through to good health again......Love Auntie P

  23. I love warm gingerbread with lemon sauce (& of course, real whipped cream). Lemonade would make a nice substitute for a warm summer day, thanks for the idea.

    Pleasant day :-)

  31. Sandi, your pink today is so pretty. I love those dishes. The cake sounds and looks awesome. I think I would have to have whipped cream. Vinegar sounds, well vinegary. You have to tell us how to make it. BIG smile. Your angel is so sweet and so is the kitten. Gifts like that are a treasure.

    Happy PS.

    Hugs...Jeanne
