Pink Saturday

I didn't get to enjoy this 'sweet evening finale'.....however last Friday
I was able to visit
SuzAnna's Antiques for HOT SUMMER NIGHTS.......

...............and was it ever hot, with temps. still hovering in the nineties at 6 o'clock. I met up with sweet Vanessa from Vanilla Lavender and we enjoyed checking out the gals' newest finds for the shop, catching up with the news from vintage land, and swiping at the tiny black flies who decided to make an evening meal of our tender ankles! Thanks Anna for the Penny royal oil - it seemed to help! Vanessa and I then headed to Starbucks for iced coffee and a cool slice of iced lemon pound cake...with two forks. We were so good!

Another sweet pink framed vintage print - one of many for sale at SuzAnna's.
Now these gals definitely had the right idea for a hot Summer evening, "Romping on the sunny shore" in their modesty skirted swimsuits - anyone out there remember them? Come on, own up, some of you are (almost) as old as me!

As always, hostess Beverly at How Sweet The Sound will have the complete, ever-growing list of Pink Saturday participants ~ be sure to visit and join in the fun.

  1. Happy Pink Saturday, Mary. I know you are going to have a wonderful day. I will be thinking about you. You will all have so much fun. Please give everyone a hug from me.

    Starbucks and pound cake sound quite tasty. I think it would make a good breakfast. ;-)

  10. How fortunate to be able to hang out with a fellow blogger!

    Those swimsuits were awesome; wish they would make a comeback. The frame "suits" the print perfectly.

  14. Great post..! I'm sure there's quite a few who now have pound cake on the brain!! I read your earlier posts and had to smile at the post of the telescope and looking out over the English Channel. If you haven't read it, you must grab the newly released THE GUERNSEY LITERARY AND POTATO PEEL PIE SOCIETY. I just finished it and your earlier post brought it to mind...it's delightful! Beautifully written story about England as she emerged from World War II.
