Pink Saturday in Northern California

On my way North to stay with our oldest, dearest friends at their beautiful lakeside Summer home on Lake Almanor, I also visited with other friends. These lovely people are fairly new on my friendship list having met them through blogging!

As I mentioned in my last post, in the small farming town of Willows, on a near 100 degree afternoon, I was thrilled to meet Corey Amaro's lovely mother Delores. Many of you already follow Corey's exciting life in Provence through her well known blog Tongue in Cheek, and you may have have read her articles published in Romantic Homes and other national magazines. I met Corey in France last October. When she knew I would pass through Willows, her home town, she told me about her mom's shop and we planned a quick stop there.

Pink French toile pillows with those lovely wide floppy edges.

The shop was fabulous. Be sure to stop by if you are ever in the vicinity. Delores and her business partner Holly had done a marvelous job decorating and displaying their many treasures. Now I know where Corey's fabulous decorating gene came from, her mom of course!

Lots of pink signs in the pretty outside patio area.

I absolutely fell for this really old, really palest pink, vintage bread box.

I purchased a few treasures to take to my friend for her lake house. The gift I received for myself was Delores' very kind invitation to stop by her adorable farm house and meet her special grandchildren - more later on that!

Hope everyone has a fabulous Pink Saturday. Be sure to visit Beverly, our hostess, at How Sweet The Sound to see more pink from around the world.
