Pink Saturday

September 18, 2009 at 10:31 pm by Claudia

Welcome to Pink Saturday at Mockingbird Hill Cottage. Autumn is here with leaves falling, cooler air, golden light and a chill in the morning air. Please visit Beverly for a list of all those participating.


I found this wonderful pink hobnail vase the same day I found the blue bench and linen laundry bag I blogged about earlier this week. I fell in love with it, of course, and brought it home. I’ve never seen one like it before – it is about 10 or 11 inches high and quite heavy. Isn’t it pretty?

These delicate pale pink roses were on our kitchen island for several days.


The outer petals are the palest of pinks and the center is a deeper pink. Simply gorgeous!

Have a wonderful weekend!

Pink Saturday

Happy Pink Saturday, everyone! As my husband said today, “Is it time for Pink Saturday already?” That’s how I feel – my how time flies lately!

This week I am showing a few pinks from my little “studio” in the upstairs hallway. That’s where my sewing machine, cutting table, inspiration board, and quilt design wall are located. It also seems to be the pinkest area in the house!

This is an original watercolor by our Pink Saturday friend, Helene. I won it in a giveaway and I have just had it framed. It hangs on the wall in my studio. Isn’t it beautiful? I treasure it.

My new pink measuring tape – much more attractive than the standard color, don’t you think? That’s a spool of vintage-ish pink moire ribbon I found while antiquing.

Some more of my hearts – not quite finished – they need their poly-fil stuffing.

The sweet “Vowels” print was given to me by Heidi (perfect for me as a Voice and Speech teacher) and is edged in pink velvet. The sweet bird is by my friend Joy. Both hang from the turquoise shelf by my sewing machine.
Hope you have a wonderful weekend. Please stop by Beverly’s to see a list of all those participating.

Pink Saturday

Happy Weekend and Happy Pink Saturday! Thank you Beverly for organizing our little party. Please stop by her blog and take some time to visit everyone and leave a comment. We all love receiving comments!

This week we are taking a little trip down memory lane…to my childhood. Those of you who have been reading my PS posts might remember that my mom called me her ‘pink bunny’ when I was a little girl. Look what I found in my dresser drawer: proof.

My overalls – I couldn’t have been more than 2 years old – I think I was even younger than that.

A little robe. Hard to believe I was ever small enough to wear this…here’s a closer view.

The palest of pinks.
Truth be told, I loved being Mom’s pink bunny! I wonder if there are any children’s books with that title? Wouldn’t it be fun to have one? Have a great weekend!

Welcome!

Welcome!

I live in a little cottage in the country with my husband. It's a sweet place, sheltered by old trees and surrounded by gardens. The inside is full of the things we love. I love to write, I love my camera, I love creating, I love gardening. My decorating style is eclectic; full of vintage and a bit of whimsy.

I've worked in the theater for more years than I can count. I'm currently a voice, speech, dialect and text coach freelancing on Broadway, off Broadway, and in regional theater.

Thanks for stopping by.
