She's having a baby!

I'm so excited to share my dear daughter's news.  Yep.  I'm gonna be a Grandma...again!  I'm so happy and excited.  I have two beautiful Granddaughters age 10 and 12 by my son and daughter in law.  We are so ready for a baby in this family.  

My daughter and son in law want a boy and are so sure that this is what they will have.  I want to post pink for Pink Saturday, but I don't want to jinx them.  So, here is pink and blue.  That should work. 

She just found out, so we have a long long way to go.  I wish it was tomorrow! !

P.S.  NO I did not knit these cute little booties.  I found them on Etsy and the photo is linked to the shop.  But, believe me, I plan on many LOADS of baby stuff in the next few months!


Time for more pink....here you go!

Pink Memories

Welcome to Pink Saturday! This is a celebration of all things pink!! Our Host is Beverly of How Sweet the Sound. You can find oodles of pink on her blog, check it out!



Way back in 1994, I earned a trip to Hong Kong for myself and my husband with my company. And, what a trip it was! The very first thing waiting for us in our hotel room was this basket:

And, next to it was a plate of cookies. We had been on a very long flight and this was a welcome sight for us.


When we opened the basket it had a steaming hot pot of tea and little teacups. Mmmm.


I was so in love with this pretty little teapot and teacups.


Imagine my delight when they gave the set to us as a gift to take home!


I even bought some matching bowls and spoons.


Every time I look at it, I am reminded of a wonderful trip of a lifetime. Isn't it special how a keepsake can take you back in time?

Have a wonderful Pink Saturday!

Pink Saturday

Yay! It's Pink Saturday. I've missed the past 2 Pink Saturdays....sigh. And, YES, I have really MISSED them!

I have a relaxed weekend planned and I'm looking forward to visiting blogs!

For my own contribution, here is a cute bag that I saw on vacation. There were loads of pink things in the gift shop, I liked this one best.



If you have a hankering for more pink, visit Beverly's and take the pink tour!

Pink Saturday

It's Pink Saturday at Beverly's!!


Today I went to the airport with my Mother in Law. She is a pilot and she also volunteers with "Young Eagles". It's a program that pairs pilots with kids who would like to have a ride in an airplane. They learn about aviation, how things work and they get a fabulous ride. I went along to help out. Sadly there were no pink airplanes there. But, I found this cute pink plane on the internet. I guess it proves you can find just about anything on Google Images!!


For some personal Pink, here are is a rose from my garden. They are lovely!


I hope that your Saturday is filled with PINK!!

To get more Pink, head over to Beverly's and take the Pink Tour!!

Pink Saturday

Yay! It's Pink Saturday! Time to celebrate.....all things Pink!!



A friend of mine made this vase. When she donated it to a charity auction...I was happy to snap it up!!! That was many years ago and it has continued to be a favorite of mine. I love how the pinks graduate into a coral color on the top and a purple on the bottom. The texture is very interesting too. She is very talented!!


I keep it in this corner. It just fills up the space and makes it HAPPY! I don't profess to be a flower arranger, however, I have heard the advice to decorate to please yourself....and this pleases me! I hope it pleases YOU too!

Now. Time for the PINK tour. Go to Beverly's and visit all the lovely pink...it will truly brighten your day!

Happy Pink Saturday!!

Pink Saturday Movie Review

.



Yesterday was a really good day. Dear Daughter was home and invited me over to watch a movie. It was "The Secret Life Of Bees".

She had already loaned me the book to read. It started out sad with a mean Dad, and I just didn't want to read it. While I wasn't excited about the movie, I couldn't resist a quiet afternoon at my daughter's spending time with her, so I went over to her house watch it.



I actually enjoyed the movie very much. The characters were just great. DD and I got to talk about history and I had the opportunity to share stories of the past with her. The house in the movie is a bright shade of PINK, perfect for Pink Saturday, don't you think. I won't tell you WHY the house is pink....get the movie and you will see.

Yes, yesterday was a good day. Everynight, I think about my day and look for things to be grateful for. You just never know what the future holds. Just before I go to sleep, I thank God for another day and count up all my blessings from the day. No matter what kind of day I had, I can always find something to be thankful for. Try it....it does wonders!!

Are you ready for MORE Pink??? Head on over to Beverly's and take the Pink Tour!

Pink Saturday

Happy Pink Saturday!!

It's a beautiful day. The sun is out, I can hear the birds and my pretty little fountain outside the window.

It's the perfect day to celebrate all things PINK! Thanks to Beverly!

I have a collection of scarves. I used to wear them all the time at my J-O-B. I have been racking my brain to remember how long it's been since I left my corporate job....two years? or three? Feels like five!! Do I miss it? Do I miss having a "Boss"? Quotas? Crazy policies that are constantly changing? Stress? Do I miss all that time devoted to a company that didn't care about me at all? Are you kidding? NO! I don't miss it at all!! And, I haven't worn these scarves (and other "work" related clothes) since then!!


This is one of my favorites...very bright!


This one is so sheer that the camera had trouble focusing on it. I love butterflies.


This one looks great on my straw hat. It was a gift from my dear daughter. It's my favorite color....she knew that!


This one is a small square, one of my favorite shapes. It looks good around the neck or tied on to my purse.

I couldn't even find my MOST favorite one of all. It will bother me all day wondering what I did with it!!!

Now that I work for myself from home, I wear the most COMFY clothes!! I highly recommend being your own boss!! I only dress normal when I leave the house. I can be on the phone for my business, and I will most often be found in my sweats. I have a HUGE collection of those!! My favorite is GAP, I get them from the outlet. I have so many black sweat outfits that you might think I wore the same clothes every day. I'm wearing one right now!!! Maybe I should put on a scarf??

If you have a hankering for more pink....head on over to Beverly's and take the Pink Tour!

A day Late...

Yes...it's Sunday....and YES I forgot Pink Saturday....for the 2nd week in row. What's up with that???

I am putting my self in the PINK DOG HOUSE!!


Actually, this little doggy house is adorable....and that doggy reminds me of our own Pookie Bear. Pookie is a boy...do you think he would mind a Pink dog house??

I have had a busy couple of weeks and I am in withdrawal....blogging withdrawal that is!! I am missing my favorite blogs and wondering how everyone is doing.
Can't wait to catch up!!

I sure hope you are all having a WONDERFUL weekend. And, don't worry....it's not too late to see the rest of the Pink Saturday Gang...head on over to Beverly's and check it out!

Pink

I had my pink Saturday post all planned. You know what they say about the best laid plans, right?

I completely forgot to post my pink. darn. Right now, I am attempting to post from my phone while I am here in Yosemite with hubby. All day we have been on the lookout for pink, and I found something interesting to share.

How do I get it here to my blog...from my phone? Have you tried this?

just in case my photo does not appear through the miracles of modern technology, I will tell you that it is of a fire hydrant that once was red, now faded to a lovely shade of pink, with Yosemite Falls in the background.

Here goes. Wish me luck!

And...Happy Pink Saturday !

Friendship

Hello fellow Pinkies!! It's Pink Saturday again.
Let the search for all things PINK begin!


This comforter set is special to me.


It once belonged to my dear friend, Connie. She likes to call us "Country Mouse and City Mouse". We live far from each other and visit as often as possible. For many years, this comforter set was on the day bed that I slept on at her house. When she redecorated, she gave it to me. Now when she visits me, she sleeps on this comfy bed. Whenever I look at it, it reminds me of a wonderful friendship.

Ready for some more PINK? Take the PINK tour.
Visit Beverly's and find out all about it!!

Pink mystery...

.

Hello Pinkies!! It's a very Easter-y Pink Saturday.



Let's have a little mystery...shall we? Can you guess what this is? Isn't it pretty?


It's something I have wanted for a while. I usually wouldn't buy it without touching it and feeling it first.


My friend, Lori has some of this and I knew I wanted some for my own!


I'm going to make something with it....but what?

Actually, I don't really know the answer to that question myself!


What would YOU make with it?



You already guessed, didn't you???

It's Fabric!!

Not just any fabric, it's a collection of Amy Butler fabrics. I'm thinking that they would make some fabulous pillows....hmmmm??



I hope that you are having a wonderful Saturday....For more Pink, please visit Beverly's and take the Pink Tour!




Happy Easter to you!!
