Pink Saturday

at by

How did it get to be Pink Saturday so quickly? This week has flown by. Please visit Beverly’s lovely blog to see the list of all those participating in the fun.

I don’t have many roses in my garden yet, but this is my Lady Elsie May rose – a deep pink that I love. It seems to be thriving, in spite of the dreaded Japanese Beetle. I don’t use pesticides, so I’m afraid we all have to co-exist!

I bought this vintage lampshade when I was visiting Christie Repasy’s store. I’m afraid I had to have it. It graces a floor lamp in the living room – the base of the lamp is black, but I am soon going to paint it white. Isn’t the shade beautiful?


I bought this little pitcher from France at Vignettes in San Diego. I fell in love with the delicate colors.


Happy Pink Saturday, everyone! Thank you for stopping by.

  1. Oh, I love Christy Repasy’s painting! It’s so beautiful . . . I hope to visit her store one day and hopefully buy one of her pieces!

    Those darned Japanese Beetles, they’re so awful! They’ve pretty much eaten up my ‘Berry Elegans’ vine . . . I’m not so kind I’m afraid. I bought a spray that kills them on contact and I’ve been using it with wild abandon . . . sorry Claudia! It’s the beetles or my vines, roses and daisies!

    Love the pretty pitcher!

    Have a Happy Pink Saturday!

  4. Oh Claudia, I love the little pitcher! No wonder it had to come home with you! I think the lampshade will look better on a while floor base. Happy Pink Saturday!

  8. Happy Pink Saturday, Claudia! The Japanese Beetles are such a pain! I agree with you about not wanting to use pesticides. Your little pitcher is really pretty and your lampshade is stunning!

    Hope you have a lovely weekend!

  18. Yes, the shade is a good one. The flower is the perfect shade of pink and the pitcher…I would have snagged that one too ;-)

    Happy PS, Candy

    Really cold (50s) in upper Michigan today with a dark sky. I need all the pink I can get this morning. Thanks so much for helping lift my spirits!

    Wishing you a weekend filled with sunshine and happiness.

  34. I like your pink post today… You sure have beautiful things around!

    And I have found two treasures hidden that I actually ADORE – the little white frame behind the lampshade AND the gorgeous pot behind the pitcher (it’s one of those in your banner isn’t it?)

    Well, anyway… Happy Pink Saturday too you. And thanks for your supportive and funny comment on my Pink Shoes post today.

    See you!

  37. Claudia, you hit a home run. I love all three. And, that little pitcher is absolutely gorgeous.

    And, your sweet little Tressa has my heart.

    Happy Pink Saturday.

  39. Happy Pink Saturday. Thanks for stopping by and sharing such pretty pinks today. I don’t think I have been to your blog and that is what makes Pink Sat. so much fun. The pretty new blogs and great people that you meet.
    Have a great weekend
    Hugs

  40. Hi Claudia – You have the best taste in decorating! I love, love, love that lamp! And, the baby doll ~ Little Tress ~ is adorable ~ I have my mother’s baby doll, and her left foot is in a drawer some place! So she’s footless! Pink Hugs!

  41. I caught up on your posts Claudia.
    I adore the little doll Tresa ( I think that’s how you spelled it). Your Tiger Lilies are beautiful. I am re-doing my front gardens (what a task) and I think that’s what I will have with some Hosta’s.
    Love your roses, pitcher and that shade…yummy girlfriend. Love the way you situated it near the Christy R. lovely.
    Have you been getting lots of rain?? We have been so wet. Every day there is a rain storm. Lucky, the new senior dog is really afraid of thunder (of course I didn’t know that). I’m sure other things will pop up with both, but we are enjoying them immensely.
    Love the pictures of your fur babies around Theresa. Happy PS oh & congrats on your awards. You deserve them.
    Love Claudie

  44. One of my favorite all time artists, Christy Repasy is just the best, and now you get to look at that gorgeous shade all day long. I have to say, I love the pitcher, that’s my fav this week. I hope this finds you doing well and I’ll chat with you next week, Happy Pink Saturday, Char

  48. Hello Claudia, I love your roses. I too hate pesticides. I believe they are dangerous to our health. If we can use harmless things like soap then ok. Your lampshade and pitcher are both so pretty. Lucky you to find such treasures.

    Hugs, Jeanne

  50. HAPPY PRECIOUS PINK SATURDAY CLAUDIA
    I love your beautiful ‘ELSIE MAY’ PINK ROSES……darn those Japenese beetles…I wonder how you can get them to go away naturally….
    i think you made a mistake on that lamp shade and it was suppose to be shipped here, to moi house……lol….that is one of the most beautiful lampshades I have ever seen…..longer fringe would have been real pretty but those roses are divine….can’t wait to see pictures when you have her on her white lamp post.
    The pitcher is so sweet and elegant
    I always love visiting you Claudia and I LOVE…LOVE… the post about the darling doll with 2 left feet.

  55. Hi Claudia, Somehow you always find the most beautiful things. Your lampshade and pitcher are stunning.

    I remember the little doll baby from a previous post…she is so sweet. Glad she came home with you.

    Best Wishes,
