PINK SATURDAY is having a birthday...

I AM POSTING EARLY FOR PINK SATURDAY...
IT'S SPECIAL BECAUSE OF IT'S BIRTHDAY...
AND...
I WANT YOU TO HAVE PLENTY OF TIME TO SIGN UP FOR
MY GIVE AWAY.....
*********************************************************************************************
I decided to REPOST
MY VERY FIRST....
PINK SATURDAY ....MAY, 2008
for this SPECIAL 2ND BIRTHDAY ....
************













BEVERLY, my friend over at HOW SWEET THE SOUND
is hosting PINK SATURDAY
and I wanted to do a Saturday with her.

I don't have very many things in the color
PINK in my cottage...
but I do love the color...
*
This beautiful, PINK book was given to me several years ago by
BEAUTIFUL DAUGHTER
and it's got some of the most delightful photos of
LITTLE PINK BABIES...
*
This OLD shaving mug, with the handle broken off
belonged to my mother.
The key to my wind-up clock is attached to the other end of that cord..
*MR. SWEET bought this beautiful English plate for me about 10 years ago..


Isn't this the ugliest thing you've EVER seen and
I PAID MONEY FOR THIS !!
What was I thinking and even more,
what WILL I ever do with it ??????
BEATS ME !!

OOPS, I feel a
"WHAT'S A SHABBY DOOR THINGY TO DO"
CONTEST
coming on here........:o)
UPDATE.....
THIS UGLY DUCKLING IS GOING OUT TO
MO
and she has
PROMISED
that if she can come up with ANYTHING cute out of it,
she will post a picture for ALL TO SEE....
HAHAHA...GOOD, GOOD LUCK, MO !!
*

My very favorite little plate from my mother....

One of the first quilts I made....
*
A favorite PINK flowered lamp from an estate sale...
The VASE holding these PINK flowers was another treasure from my mother.


And, finally....
MY PINK PIN MONEY BANK
*****************
Many thanks to BEVERLY for this fun
SATURDAY
hugs, bj
*********
****************************************************

Now I'm back to 2010....

"Beverly, thanks so much for all your hard work in bringing this wonderful and fun day to us each and every single week for two solid years."

***************************************************

Abramyan Avenue said...

What a wonderful post! I love the English plate and the plate from your mother. They are both so pretty! And I would love to be entered in your giveaway!!
I do have one question... I recently bought a quilt top from ebay and my sister is going to show my how to put the back on it. Thank goodness because I would never be able to do it. But, I really want to learn to make an entire quilt on my own and am saving the girls baby clothes and my husbands shirts, so.... your first quilt, is it entirely handmade or did you use a sewing machine? I'm just curious. Thank you so much and I hope you have a wonderful time on your cruise!! I can't wait to see pictures!
-April

Liz @ the Brambleberry Cottage said...

I was strollin' down memory lane with you, BJ, looking at all your cute Pink Saturday pretties, and then I came to the picture of the shabby pink door escutcheon.

I thought, "Wow! I love that piece!" Then I read your description of it "the ugliest thing you've ever seen" and started laughing.

Beauty truly is in the eye of the beholder.

I would love to have you join my three new linky parties. I just put the very first one up tonight, June 1st.

Hugs,
Liz @ the Brambleberry Cottage
