MY FIRST PINK SATURDAY! YAHOO!



It's my first Pink Saturday, Yahoo!  I have always loved the color pink but I don't have much of it in my home right now.  My daughter was never much of a pink girl.  She went through one short phase of it and I quickly painted her room pink.  About a year later she was onto the color purple.  Sigh.  So I dug into my pics to see what I could find.  My painted pink daisies in bloom last June.

My adorable niece Chloe, so pretty in pink.





And again with her Mom, my sister Susie and big brother Justin.  He's the oldest of her five children and Chloe is the youngest. 




My daughter Katie in her prom dress 07.  She picked this Dusty Rose color and MOM was thrilled!  I bit my tongue, not wanting to act too excited!  If she knew I loved  it she might pick another color.  Mother/Daughter thing!

Pretty Pink Flamingo's at the zoo!

Gorgeous Pink Flower, at the same zoo.



And around the house.  My bedroom is blue and white with a touch of rose.  This is my Gone with the wind lamp that I purchased off E-Bay.  Less than $50, so I was thrilled!

Another view, there is green out there.  Now it's all white, but Spring has to come someday.  Doesn't it?


And my new pink suitcase!  So fun!   I found it at TJ Maxx.  I need to get packing because I'm heading out next week.  So this pink stuff is pretty fun!   I might not be posting much but I will be checking in when I can.   Thanks for coming by and thanks to our hostess for  such a lovely event!   Happy Pink!!    Cindy

  6. Baby Chloe in pink is just the sweetest thing and Katie is so pretty in her dusty pink gown. It is
    so nice to see something pink in babies cause mine are all in blues and browns now, even AJ. She used to love pk but outgrew it. She said it is too giry, lol. It must be a phase. Love your new pink suitcase. I hope the airline people take care of it. Enjoy your trip, Cindy!...Christine

  11. IN the picture, the daisies don't look like they are real :-) It sure is nice to have a bright color greeting you in the hose. And aaaaaaww how adorable is Chloe! And your heart must feel that tiny tug whenever you see your daughter's pic - seeing she is now a lady and not a little girl anymore :-)

    Your Gone with the wind lamp. It's interesting to see that on the first pin the bottom is lighted and on the second, the upper one is lit. I thought it is just one tube on the inside.

    Happy 1st Pink Saturday to you.

  23. Welcome to Pink Saturday - your daughter's prom dress is beautiful and so is your niece. Your bedroom looks so inviting and I love the Gone with the Wind lamp. I actually purchased my first one at a garage sale this past summer and have a picture of it on my blog also.

    I'm also impatiently awaiting Spring and glad to see weather in the 70's this weekend. Unfortunately, by Monday the cold returns.
