Here's another little tidbit about Valentine's Day:

The United States Post Office in Loveland, Colorado, USA, creates a special and one-of-a-kind cancellation stamp every year in order to celebrate Valentine's Day and the romantic name of Loveland, Colorado. The Post Office is now averaging greater than 300,000 Valentines remailed annually including 104 foreign countries and all 50 United States. The cancellation stamp sample shown here is from 1995.

Happy Valentine's Day on Pink Saturday

First I want to wish all of you a very wonderful Valentine's Day! My sweetie and I will be staying at home with a bottle of bubbly and a good meal..of course I'll be making the meal! I found this Pink Valentine greeting and knew it was perfect for PINK SATURDAY.

Today's the day I'll show you some of the Pink in my diningroom. This pink and red rose oil painting came from an estate sale (my favorite way to shop). Usually I go to an estate sale in the afternoon when everything is half price then I'm not tempted to spend too much $$. As soon as I got there this painting was mine...then I found

This china with roses on it, a service for 12 with all the serving pieces WOW was I excited and half price just a great buy. The china was made in Germany by Edelstein also has Bavaria, Maria-Theresia and the pattern is Moss Rose. Of course some pieces are missing and there are some chips but I feel very lucky to have found this set.

Here is a photo of plate and cup and saucer. Oh and the pink roses on the wall is a tatouage (not sure I spelled that right) it comes on a paper and you use a stick to rub it on wall.

It's really very lovely.

The diningroom is the room in my house with the most pink so I'll be sharing more with you on the next Pink Saturday. You can find everyone who's particpating in Pink Saturday over at Bev's be sure and stop by.
