Pink Saturday is Here Again!

Good morning everyone~ I trust you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving and are now cleaning up the leftover turkey. I don't know about you, but I love leftovers!

Today for my Pink Saturday I would like to share my mantle and the centerpiece on the coffee table; perhaps a couple of ornaments too. Might as well get right into the Christmas spirit, right?

My mantle and mirror are decked out with evergreens, white lights, and pinks. A sheer pink bow adorns the wreath, and pink balls and pink votive holders decorate the mantle. There are also gold pinecones and my little antiqued rocking horse.

I used the same pink ribbon and pink balls in my centerpice as on the mantle and wreath.

I love the crystal hurricane lamp which holds a pink pillar candle. I've had it for years. The balls are the same pink balls, only larger, that I used on my little Christmas tree which I showed you last week. Yes, I like to create a theme for the Holidays!
A teacup and saucer on the tree. Little pink flowers decorate the teacup.

A miniature cream jug hangs from a ribbon on the tree. Below the jug is the same pink ribbon I used in the centerpiece and wreath. It is pink and gold with glittery roses on it and I used it on the tree as a garland.

And lastly for this week's offerings, a glittery peachy-pink rose, one of several I have on the tree.

Please take some time to visit Beverly and her host of pinkies. Just click the link http://howsweetthesound.typepad.com/my_weblog/ or the Pink Saturday button on my sidebar. Hope you all have a fabulous pink weekend.

A Happy Thanksgiving and A Hearty Thank You!

Hello friends~ Today is Thanksgiving in the States; a time to give thanks to God for His many blessings. A table laden with wonderful food and loved ones to share it with; it doesn't get much better than that!

I would like to wish you all a wonderful day of celebration with your loved ones.

We Canadians celebrated our Thanksgiving in October so we are all getting ready for Christmas right now. When I reflect upon this past year of blogging, I am overwhelmed with the number of friends I have made. You are all so sweet and a lot of you are faithful followers. I am thankful for every one of you. Each one of you is so special to me and I am enjoying this hobby of mine because of you all! Every once in a while someone comes along who goes out of their way to be especially nice and expects nothing in return. I know she will probably want to use her wooden spoon on me for mentioning this, but I'm going to anyway! I think I'm pretty safe seeing as there is a whole country between us! She lives in Texas and I'm in Canada. Isn't blogging the best fun? You get to befriend people all over the world!

She often threatens to flail you but like most, her bark is worse than her bite! Deep down she has a very big heart. I know most of you already know that I'm talking about none other than Penniwigs!

Everyday she blesses us with her wonderful free graphics and her visits. She also makes wonderful jewelery.
Not long ago, she sent me a sweet little pair of earrings or earbobs as she likes to call them. I won't mention why she sent sent them, only that she did! They arrived in their own little tin and decorated with a flower. They are called "Pale Cocoa" and they are milk chocolate and coppery luster glass pearls, tiny copper-coated borealis Czech faceted beads, with copper earwires.
Aren't they adorable? I wear them all the time; I just love them!

They are very well made and very comfortable to wear. I want to invite you to take some time to go visit this dear lady and get yourself a pair or two of her handmade-with-love, earbobs! What wonderful little gifts they would make! Just click the link http://penniwigs.blogspot.com/

Thank you Holly, I appreciate you so much and I am very thankful to have 'met' you!
