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.

Pink Saturday

The A to Z of dreaming in pale pink.

Sometimes life can be sweet when viewed through rose colored glasses.

Today we are daydreaming in shades of palest pink.............the pink that almost feels as cool as blue on a hot Summer's day.

Do visit Beverly today, our all shades of pink hostess, at How Sweet The Sound. There you will find many friends in the pink today.

Pink Saturday

I love PINK lampshades.. Love the pale 'face powder' shaded shadows they cast in a room.

Here a swirled chiffon shade I made.

Below, an experiment with tea dyed cheesecloth I used to decorate a plain ready made shade to get the powder pink look.

This pink print square shade, wound with ribbons, crystals dangling, caught my eye in a magazine.

Do visit Beverly at How Sweet the Sound to find the list of all the great PINK SATURDAY posts.

Pink Saturday at SuzAnna's Antiques

Pink Saturday post - cute pink things spied while treasure hunting in the last few weeks at SuzAnna's Antiques here in town. Those great gals not only do pink, they have green, yellow, blue and every other color in the Pantone Color Guide.

Pink junk - cute junk!
...........and this is my favorite. No, not the pink chair even though it's cute, the BUGS sign which I definitely would put in my garden if it would ensure death to all mosquitoes........................before they bite!

Note: Other bugs I can handle, and some I even love because they are good for the garden, but mosquitoes have no redeeming value and they ALL love me!

Best wishes for your weekend - hope it's a super one.

Don't forget to visit Beverly at How Sweet The Sound to view the list of all today's Pink Saturday participants - lots of fun people to visit.

PARIS Pink Saturday II

The amazing Jeannie not only stocks a shop of her own in another town, Uniquitiques in Hillsborough, NC, but also brings beauteous French inspired treasures to SuzAnna's Antiques where I snapped these pics. She stocks her booth with irresistible items, the latest being these cowgirl hats with built-in tiaras. Anyone ready for a hoe-down or Texas Two Step, French style!!!?

This is such a pretty chair and I wanted to bring it home but just don't have a spare inch to park it ~ that pink damask seat with a double corded edge had me sighing, I love damask fabric.

A French inspired tiny chandelier ~ pink crystals and perfect for a young girl's bedroom. If only I was a young girl with a pink bedroom!!!!

Here's another of Jeannie's Parisian tags attached to the cutest gift she left for me, a truly feminine garden trowel with a pink foam handle (thank you so much Jeannie - you're always so generous). The two Bridge sets - small scalloped table cloths and napkins in pink and white linen - I did bring home and will use at teatime. Couldn't resist another German glass glitter PARIS sign too.


Hope Pink Saturday is a great day for you.
Be sure to visit Beverly at How Sweet The Sound
our truly fabulous Pink Saturday hostess - she will have a list of links to all the fun pink blogs!

And this of course has nothing to do with Pink or Paris ~ but it's my dh's Birthday today and I just know this would be his favorite cake ~ if only I had thought to make one decorated like this!
Much love and Happy Birthday wishes dear Bob.

We're definitely having Summer straw hat days around here - and this is such a pretty one for all those hip, pink loving gals, who are heading out and about town to do a little 'junk shopping' on a hot weekend.

It's important to always keep a cool head!
