A Little Pink to Share

 I haven't been to the "Pink Saturday" party for a while. Click "here" to see more marvelous PINKS at Beverly's "How Sweet the Sound"


I wanted to share a picture of one of the pink roses growing in the yard. They smell soooo good.




Next, I fell in love with this "vintage looking" card at Walmart.

Isn't it sweet?

All the girls are carrying baskets of pink flowers.

Here's the note on the back of the card. So it was originally from 1932.

I’m Back with Reds

Hello, everyone. Today, I bought some beautiful RED geraniums for my front door area.



See all those pretty buds? I just hope I don't kill the plant before they have a chance to bloom. :)


Some fun RED things from Dollar Tree and Wal Mart.




Little creamer pitcher from Ross for Less.


I love my scarf from QVC. It's big enough to use as a shawl on cool evenings or A/C places.


Yesterday, I did some Spring cleaning, but I only for to the LR


I am proud to say, it is TOTALLY clean from top to bottom. (Great feeling)



(Mom and Dad on their wedding day, August 1, l944)

THANKS TO ALL WHO PRAYED AND SENT SUPPORT TO ME AS I LOST MY MOM.
YOU'LL NEVER KNOW HOW MUCH IT HELPED AND MEANT TO ME.

I'm joining Sue for "REDNESDAY" Please join her, too for more red things.

I’ll Be Back

My dear sweet Mama went to be with the Lord

I know Heaven is rejoicing.

Uh Oh……..

 Somebody has been playing in Grandmother's makeup drawer...



I really couldn't fuss, since I  finally did consent  with the stipulation of "No Mascara!" thinking I'd be safe.



Boy, was I wrong!!!!! What a mess!!!!!


Here's the after picture after about 15 minutes of cleaning.


Ahh! Back to normal.  Can any of you girls relate? :)

I'm joining Susan's Met Monday at Between Naps on the Porch. Join the fun!

HAVE A SUNNY, BEAUTIFUL SUNDAY

Strawberry Inspired

 I'm joining Susan's Tablescape Thursday today.


 I'm calling it my Strawberry inspired tablescape. (I finally got my Winter stuff put away in the DR today)


 Here's what inspired me.  I loved these strawberry placemats I found recently at an estate sale for a steal.

 Today, I'm using my new, red ceramic table rings. They are from a store I found on Ebay that I absolutely love! http://stores.ebay.com/Lake-Forest-Kitchen-Lady. She has the cutest vintagey looking stuff.

 I thought my strawberry plate fit right in.

 Red geraniums (not real) in my red coffeepot, and a few other reds and greens.

and I was all set.

Thanks for stopping by to see me today. I loved having you, and have a SUNNY day.

Thrifting with Reds

 MY Valentine present was, that I didn't have to cook, so I went
antiquing/thrifting yesterday. Found this red handled biscuit cutter for $.50 and the red topped jar, which I have been wanting (although it was $10)

I love my RED rooster towel holder.


 Love polka dots. Found this small dish recently at TJ MAX

 My Favorite find from yesterday was these two embroidered pillowcases for $15 for the pair.

 I like them with my Yo Yo quilt in the "red" bedroom.


The pretty rose embroidered ones were from a yard sale. I Just love to find cute bargains!

These pretty strawberry placemats are a recent estate sale find. They were only $2 for 4 of them.


Thanks for stopping by, and I'm joining:
Leigh at Tales from Bloggeritaville for "Thrifty Thursday"
Suzanne at The Colorado Lady for "Vintage Thingy Thursday" and
Sue at It's A Very Cherry World for "REDNESDAY"

THANKS TO ALL THREE GIRLS FOR THESE WONDERFUL, FUN PARTIES.

Valentine Table A Little Late

Hi, I hope everybody is getting ready for Valentine's Day on Tuesday.


I set my Valentine's Table in the Sunroom (I'm a little late for the Party)



I used my metal birdcage as a centerpiece, and the white doves fit in perfectly.

These two lovebirds fit right in with Valentine's Day.

See the Valentine cookies up there in the plate?


This is what happened to them after I took the pictures. hehehehehehe! Valentines cookies don't last long with a granddaughter around.

Lovebirds Tablescape

Well, it's dark already. I'm running late in joining "Tablescape Thursday" at Susan's Between Naps on the Porch.

Here is my inspiration for this Valentine's Table. 

I love the blue birds.


I wanted to use blues and reds, so my vintage tablecloth seem to fit  right in.


I used a few blue touches. Love my blue teapot.

A few Valentine touches on the counter.

Do you like this combination better?

Thanks for stopping by and hop on over to Susan's for more.
