I Want Something PINK For My Birthday!

Yes today is my birthday and I want this...I'm hoping my husband surprises me!

On Christmas day going to my bothers for brunch I saw this PINK Caddy and said WOW I want that! Made my DH stop and snap some photos.  He thinks it was made in the early 1950's when they really built cars well. Or maybe he said the early 1960's...whatever it sure is a beauty! Makes me think of Elvis.  Guess I'm really showing my age...yes today I'm 67!

I'm joining everyone for Pink Saturday at How Sweet The Sound.

 

Warm hugs,

PINK Dolphin on PINK Saturday!

Yes it is a PINK Dolphin very hard to believe!  I received an email with these photos and following story.

Think pink .... you're not seeing the world through rose-coloured glasses: This albino dolphin is pink.

Unique ... the bottlenose - first spotted in Lake Calcasieu , an inland saltwater estuary in Louisiana , by boat captain Erik Rue, 42, in 2007 - has surfaced again.

Rare sight ... "Pinky" is believed to be the only pink dolphin in the world, and has "reddish" eyes. It is usually spotted with its dark grey mother.

Healthy glow ... "The dolphin appears to be healthy and normal other than its coloration, which is quite beautiful and stunningly pink," said Mr Rue, who estimates he has spotted Pinky more than 40 times.

I would really love to see this PINK Dolphin! 

Bev over at How Sweet the Sound has the list of all the participants in todays PINK Saturday.
Happy Mothers Day to everyone!

Warm wishes,

LOOK What I Won!

I never considered myself a lucky person but since I've started blogging my luck has changed!  I've been blessed with winning many giveaways but this last one is really specially.  A handmade Sterling Silver and Rhodolite Garnet Bracelet arrived this week in the mail and it is beautiful!  Since it was a giveaway on PINK Saturday I thought sharing today would be perfect.

If you have not visited Nancy at her blog Gracie Jewellery you should do so today!  Her blog is delightful and she makes the most beautiful jewelry much like the above bracelet that I won!  Hope everyone is having a sunny PINK Saturday.


Warm hugs,

PINK Roses

PINK Saturday is here again! This is a watercolor of PINK roses that I purchased at a garage sale for only $5.00 with the frame! I think it is beautiful!

Lots of participants at How Sweet the Sound.


Warm hugs,

It's PINK Saturday Again!!

This time of year I love to snuggle under blankets and throws and just keep warm. While I'm all warm and cozy it's time to read and watch TV usually both at the same time! Drives my husband crazy! I must get my lazy self out of the house..so tomorrow I'm going to hit some estate sales there are 4 listed in the paper plus one garage sale.  Hopefully there will be some wonderful treasures to show you!

While keeping warm I've also been dreaming of my garden and flowers.  There have been a few cataloges and a Home & Gardens Gardening Magazine delivered recently.  So many beautiful flowers and it's so hard to decide which I want to have in the garden!  I did find the Pink Superstore and they have all kinds of pink stuff for the garden. I think this is sweet

Here is some pink roses, clematis from my garden last year..it's time to dream!

Hope everyone is having a wonderful Pink Saturday.  Visit Beverly at How Sweet The Sound for a list of all the participants today.

Blog Anniversary Giveaway 1 Year!

That's right! This week I had my 100 post and November 3rd is my one year blog anniversary! I decided to combine the two and have a giveaway. What better day to tell you about it than on PINK Saturday since I have some PINK in my giveaway.

When I started my blog I knew zero about blogging just read that blogging was a good way to get folks to my Ebay listing and website. Well blogging is so much more!! It's like having friends with you all the time day or night. It's still hard for me to share the things that go on in my life daily but I'd like to do that even if I think people won't be interested. Sometime we need to just do something and not worry about it.

I'm going to have two giveaways. This first one is for my followers. It amazes me that people like my blog enough to follow me - it warms my heart and puts a smile on my face! Thanks you followers every one of you! On November 3rd a name will be pulled from all my followers and they will get the three pot sitters in the photo below I'll even throw in the PINK bench!

The second giveaway is for everyone who leaves a comment on this post. On November 3rd I'll pick a name from all the comments.

Two Gooseberry Patch books.

Christmas 2008 10th Anniversary & Chistmas 2009 Book 11

Handmade pillow using vintage linens.

This is so sweet! A bowl with two little birds.

It could be a bird feeder, candy dish or maybe a soap dish.

This is my first needle felted bear Benny.

He needs a good home!

A beautiful handpainted rose plate.

So here are the rules:

1. If you are a follower or become a follower on 11/3 your name will be in the drawing for the pot sitters and pink bench.


2. Leave a comment on this post to win the 2nd giveaway. Drawing will be on 11/3.


3. If you put my giveaway badge on your blog please leave a 2nd comment and tell me for another chance to win.

Hope you understand all this it's about 1:30 AM and I'm really tired. Email me with any questions.

Warm hugs,

Fountains Turn PINK In Pittsburgh

All the fountains in Pittsburgh are PINK in October for Breast Cancer Awareness Month. This has been going on four years but I never knew about it!

The Pennsylvania Commission for Women turned the fountain at Point State Park pink to raise awareness about the incidence of Breast Cancer and the benefits of an early diagnosis.They hope the fountain will serve as a reminder for women to do monthly breast self-exams and schedule yearly mammograms. One out of every 7 women in Pennsylvania will be diagnosed with breast cancer.

This is the fountain at the court house.

Thanks Bev for hosting "PINK Saturday". Don't forget to visit How Sweet the Sound to find other PINK participants.

Have a wonderful weekend,

Think PINK To Feel Peaceful!

I picked up the 9/28 Womans World magazine and on the 3rd page was a list to "Ease anxiety instantly" and #4 was "Think PINK to feel peaceful". Being PINK Saturday I knew you would be very interested!

Looking at pastel pink is proven to dampen stress

and anxiety by sending calming signals to the brain.

It also defuses anger and aggression...

a reason sports teams often paint the opposing

team's locker room pink,

to keep those players passive and less energetic!

With all the PINK we have here in blogland we must all be stress free!!
