Pink Saturday

at by

Hello everyone – it is time for another Pink Saturday, hosted by Beverly. Please stop by her blog to see a list of all participating.

Well, another week has passed by full of rehearsals and work – so full that I can hardly believe its Saturday already. The usual still applies: I will be in rehearsals Saturday and Sunday and promise to visit you all over the weekend!

This is a mini Eiffel Tower that I originally bought to hold notes and reminders. After continually searching for my earrings, I decided to use it as an earring holder.

My set of Paris-related stamps from Cavallini –

Have to finish with more Tulips – I am really trying to take advantage of all the lovely bouquets at Trader Joes while I can.



Have a wonderful weekend, everyone!

I’m trying a new background…not sure whether I like it or if I should go back to the old one. I felt like a change…any thoughts?

Happy Pink Saturday, everyone! Please stop by Beverly’s place to see a list of all participating. As you know, I went to the Barn Sale at La Maison Rustique last weekend. Thought I’d share a few of the pink treasures I saw there.

I love this pink desk – or dressing table.


On the left is a vintage dress – on the right a coverlet made of pink barkcloth. The backing of the coverlet is a red color and the ties are red. I contemplated getting this and I didn’t. Now I could kick myself.

Here is a closer view. Again – what was I thinking?

Love this pink chair.

To close – some tulips!



This will be another Saturday and Sunday in rehearsal. I also have to attend a formal dinner at the University on Saturday evening honoring, among others, one of my former students. All this is to say I may be a bit late getting around to everyone’s posts, but I will!

I promised more photos and I hope I can get these all posted before I have to take off for the day. A rather sleepless night has me a bit off my game. Here we go!

Beautiful garden display.

This booth belongs to my friend, Christie Repasy.

Here she is!


More vignettes



This chair has my friend Susan’s name written all over it.




More tomorrow – some photos of my finds.
