Pink Saturday

at by

Happy Pink Saturday to everyone and thank you to Beverly for hosting this event every Saturday. Please stop by her blog to find a list of everyone participating.

This week I am back at Mockingbird Hill Cottage. I’m unpacking, gardening, and just enjoying being with my family. On the first evening I was home I was surprised by a visit from Heidi and her family. They brought a welcome home dinner and dessert. I got the prettiest piece of cake.

I was given this beautiful pink rose on Opening Night of Twelfth Night.

This lovely mirror is hanging on the wall at Vignettes.

And this dressing table was at the Barn Sale.

Have a wonderful weekend!

  3. Happy Pink Saturday Claudia! I love to come and visit you. You always have such a beautiful post. That cake looks yummy, and the rose was so beautiful and perfect. Just the softest shade of pink. Thanks for sharing. Please stop by and say hi. I love it when you do. COuntry Hugs, Sherry

  4. Your finally at home. :-)And then to add to your welcoming party – you also get to have a pretty, yummy looking cake!

    So I guess it’s true what Dorothy says – There’s no place like home :-)

    I hope the damages the lightning has brought will get fixed. And good thing no serious damages.

    Happy Pink Saturday!

  7. What a sweet welcome home gift!
    My attention was drawn to the pretty plate, I noticed it on you header picture too. It is the same pattern as my breakfast and tea service which was one of the fist things I bought about 27 years ago when I left home to go to University. It is so pretty with all the pink roses. I still love it and use it daily.

  8. What a sweet yummy cake!!! I bet you are thrilled to be home again!!! But I know you’ll miss those lovely shops. (We will too) lol!
    Love your pinks! Happy Pink Saturday!
    ♥ Teresa

  9. Ooh, love the ornate mirror. The cake looks so good – almost too pretty to eat … although that wouldn’t stop me, lol.

    ciao for now,

  15. So glad you made it home safely. I’m sure your Hubby and doggies are glad you are back. Sweet pinks you are sharing today. Happy PS!

    I bet that piece of cake was yummy!

  18. Claudia, did you have a hard time munching that beautiful pink rose on the cake? …. I know I would have, just too good to eat, but then you wisely snapped a picture of it.

    Happy Pink Saturday

  21. Happy Pink Saturday. I love everything that you shared with us, but the mirror is my favorite. I hope you have a lovely day. Valarie

  22. Welcome home Claudia…our NY weather hasn’t been so great…you will miss that CA weather. The mirror is just fabulous..I could see that in my house, just lovely and I love the little glass knobs on that dressing table…pink rose frosting…bring it on

  25. Welcome home Dear Claudia
    What a great friend to bring you dinner and that yummy pink cake. Perfect for PS.
    I know what you mean about gardens…mine are exploding with all this rain in Canada. It’s raining again today. C’est la vie
    Love Claudie

  28. Such pretty pinks that you posted! I’ll have a slice of cake. Your home is beautiful, and I love the turquoise pottery in your header.

  29. Hi Claudia!

    How wonderful to be home! I loved that little pink rose…so sweet.

    And, the cake? MMmmmm….that looks so good….wish I was there, I’d snitch a bite. :-) A while back my Hubbs and I were eating a lovely dessert in a rather nice restaurant and a lady actually came up to us and asked if she could have a bite! It cracked us up and we gave her some!

    Enjoy your time at home…

    Hugs,
    Spencer

  36. Hello Claudia

    The rose is absolutely beautiful, and the cake looks just as yummy as pretty, it was sweet of them to bring cake over.

    Happy Pink Sat.

  37. That cake looked soooooo very yummmmo! Wish I was there to have some too. :) Happy Pink Saturday! Thank you for coming to visit me today. I took time & read a few more of your posts beside PS. Sorry to hear the lightening hit your house! How very scarry! Thank God it didn’t hit you while out pulling weeds. And you were in San Diego while I was on the Central Coast of California! I LOVE CALIFRONIA’s coast. Dream is to live there 3-4 months of the year. This Texas heat is for the birds it’s 103 degrees. YUCK!

  38. Pretty…you were obviously missed and appreciated!! The cake rose and the real rose are almost identical. The mirror and the pink dresser are to die for, so romantic. I see you have a thing for pink dressers!!
    Have a fabulous Pink Saturday with your family!!
    Hugs, Nerina :)

  40. Oh Claudia you big tease, that pink set of drawers from barn sale, I want ooooh…and that rose decorated cake, how could you eat such a piece of art!….H.P.S. to you too…xxx

    Happy Pink Saturday, Claudia. I love that mirror.

  45. I loved your pinks..from the rose to the beautiful cake..the mirror. Each pink is lovely. Happy Pinks and hope you have a most wonderful weekend.

  48. Hi Claudia,

    I know you’re enjoying your time with hubby and furry friends. Nice to be home, yes?

    Your pink roses are lovely, both in a vase and on that beautiful slice of cake. It was so nice of your friends to provide a welcome home supper for you.

    What a fabulous mirror! You always tend to sniff out the prettiest pieces.

    Have a relaxing weekend,
    Kay

  49. Love it, love it, love it! Each picture was better than the one before, well maybe the cake looks the yummiest. They are all beautiful though. Happy Pink Saturday and have a loveleigh Sunday Claudia.

  50. So many pretty pinks but I think the niceest one of all was the pink of friendship with the gift of the welcome home dinner and dessert.

    Such a pretty blog. I’ll be visiting again.

  51. I missed the barn sale? Darn!
    Thanks for sharing a bit of pinkies from your world. Nice mirror and that cake would go very nicely with my coffee this morning.

    Sunday Blessings, Candy

  52. What lovely cake – did you manage to bring yourself to actually eat it? Oh, oh, oh how I want the dressing table… did you buy it in the end?

    RE spaghetti – it’s amazing how often I seem to be wearing my food these days. Is it an age thing? eek!

    Happy Pink Saturday, sweetie!

  53. Well now (she says with a smirk on her face). I went to a Barn Sale yesterday morning and there was no pink furniture there at all. In fact, there was no furniture at all….just baling wire, old farm parts, old grubby clothes BUT they did have a little table that had tiny ceramic figurines on it…none worth much except one beautiful lady bust with pink porcelain roses around her neck. Guess who snatched that piece up right away? :) Happy Pink Saturday Claudie.
