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.

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!

Hello to everyone on this August Pink Saturday! Please stop by How Sweet the Sound, Beverly’s blog, to see a list of everyone participating. Beverly, thank you for all the time you put in to make this event so successful.

How about a little pink and green this week? A trip to the Berkshires, it must be over 11 years ago, led to this little treasure. In a tiny little shop, I came across a hat that I loved and I needed something in which to carry it home on the plane. In another little shop I found this:

A vintage hat box. I fell in love with it. It is covered in the sweetest pink and green pattern. Aren’t those pink flowers beautiful?

This is the lid – the handle is made out of wood and painted green. This hat box sits on a bookshelf by my bed….I wonder what’s inside?

I cannot tell a lie – I forgot these were in the box! I started crocheting some squares with some beautiful Debbie Bliss yarn and promptly forgot about them. Hmmm…I see a little project that needs to be re-started.

Finally, a close-up of my spirea. I am enthralled by intricacy of this bloom. Truly beautiful.

Have a great weekend, everyone!
