Pink Saturday and an Anniversary

July 4, 2009 at 12:00 am by Claudia

Happy Pink Saturday and Fourth of July everyone! I’m celebrating the anniversary of meeting my husband. 15 years ago I met Don at a friend’s Fourth of July party on the beach here in San Diego. Yes, I literally saw fireworks when I met him! We celebrate both our anniversaries. But in some ways, this is the most meaningful – I mean I wouldn’t have a wedding anniversary without that initial meeting, would I?

Now on to some pinkness!

This pretty ensemble was on display at the Barn Sale.

Don’t you love these canisters?

I gasped when I saw this desk – I love the curvy lines and the rose knobs – so pretty! I wouldn’t mind blogging from this beauty.
Please stop by Beverly’s blog and visit everyone on the Pink Saturday list. Have a great weekend. I am finally headed home this Monday! I’ve just about finished packing, have one show yet to open and then a lot of hugs and good-byes to share.

    The desk is indeed lovely. A very nice . . . perfect addition for your cottage Claudia! That store is just full of wonderful things to look at.

    Happy “meeting” anniversary to you and your husband :-) Guess that must have been love at first sight with the fireworks and all :-) Sweet!

    Happy Pink Saturday too.
