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!

    Oh – now I have to go shopping on ebay to find a vase like yours! So perfectly pink! Love your sweet blog. You are in my prayers today for work – I know it’s been tough for my husband, who just recently went to a grocery store for part-time work – things are so slow. You are so gifted – may the Lord bring you something wonderful.
