Pink Saturday

Hello and Happy Pink Saturday to you all!

Autumn is in full swing now and I'm thinking about Christmas which is the norm for me this time of year. I am making plans for decorating, what to bake this year, and of course, presents.

So, in keeping with this line of thinking, I would like to share this from last year's holiday season.

My pink toile angel and a glittery pink candle centerpiece. The lamp is pink too but no longer has a place in the living room. It now lights up the family room.

Now on to today's pinks ~

Two pink apple mugs which were a gift from a secret sister once upon a time.

A tiny rocking chair with a pink fabric throw on it, accompanied by a tiny straw hat.
Lastly, my dried hydrangeas courtesy of Carolyn at Aiken House and Gardens http://warrengrovegardens.blogspot.com/ They are just starting to turn pink. You can see a tint of pink among these exquisite blossoms. Aren't they beautiful? I just love them!Thank you Carolyn! If you haven't already visited Carolyn, then please do; you will be pleasantly surprised! She is a wonderful gardener and homemaker and she possesses a great eye for detail.
Thank you for joining me today. Please go on over to see Beverly and her party of pinkies for today's offerings of this luscious colour. Just click on the link http://howsweetthesound.typepad.com/my_weblog/ or the Pink Saturday button on my sidebar. Enjoy your weekend everybody!

REDnesday and White Wednesday

Good morning everyone~ I am joining Sue at "It' A Very Cherry World" for REDnesday. Nothing very exciting today, just a few things in the office.

Our son Jordan gave his father this bobbly-headed Steve Yzerman for Christmas last year. Hubby is a Detroit Red Wings fan so he loved the ornament! This has a place in the office.

Also in the office is this wonderful old can which holds pens, pencils, markers, you name it.

And there is this old red sports car pencil sharpener which had belonged to one of our boys. We have kept it and yes, it still works! And what is a pencil sharpener without a red pencil?Thank you Sue for hosting REDnesday and please go check out the other reds today at http://suelovescherries.blogspot.com/

I am also joining Kathleen today for "White Wednesday" at Faded Charm for the first time. Those who have been following my blog may have seen some the whites before so I hope you will forgive me for showing them again! Some of these are metal and some are wood. Some I have painted and others came painted white and distressed already which is a look I love.
This is a chippy white painted lantern in my little garden.The bird was a brown rusty colour and I sprayed him white and did some distressing. He looks much better.

This is my Eiffel Tower which has been in my home for several years. It was a brown metal and I painted it white just a week ago. It looks better too.

This was a black wrought iron and I painted it.

The little metal table had been in our home for over thirty years and it had always been black, which I painted white about four years ago!

This is one of my favourites! My rooster was a brown metal and I painted him white. He looks so much more handsome and he knows it!The lantern and the little birdhouse above both came in white.
The white coffee table had been a dark brown walnut which I painted about three years ago. It had been in our home for over thirty years also. It looks so much nicer painted white and distressed. A close up of the leg.Lastly, is the plaster pedestal in the living room which I use as a plant stand. I've had it for a good many years too.

Well, I hope you enjoyed my whites. Thank you Kathleen for hosting White Wednesday. Please click on the link http://fadedcharmcottage.blogspot.com/ to go visit her and the other participants. Have a wonderful day everybody.
