Today at a neighborhood tag sale I found this perfect vintage crocheted apron trimmed with a pretty shell pink.
It needs a good hand wash…
And a trip to the ironing board to tidy up the ribbons…
By the time I’m done with it, it will be fit for June Cleaver’s kitchen. Hope your week end is Pink and I hope you find lots of Pink in your corner of the world…You know Beverly has plenty gathered for us to share. Head over to her house to see who’s posting this Pink Saturday.
I’m listening to the most beautiful sound in the world! Rain! With a rumble of Thunder on the horizon…I stood in my kitchen and watched my flower beds fill with wonderful rain and I cried with joy. This rain will help extinguish fires…it will save thousands of trees…the grasses will green up and feed livestock… This is a beautiful gray Pink Saturday. And Central Texas is so Blessed today…Happy Birthday Eve to Nancy at My Crafty Little Page. She is going to get the best birthday gift she could dream of…look at the TV radar… Beverly encourages us to find the Pink in our world. Today my Pink comes in yellow and orange on the TV screen and in the gray of the clouds.
Happy, Happy Gray Pink Saturday!
Like most of Americans, we will spend this weekend with a lump in our throat. Our generation joins our parents and grandparents as we recall exact details of where we were when we heard of attacks on our shores…Pearl Harbor was still fresh in the memories of my mother and father until each of them passed away decades later…September 11th will be the same with each of us. But life goes on and we find ways to heal.
Last year I posted pictures of my little red lilies. Mother had given me a few bulbs years ago. She called them “Back to School” or “September Lilies” because they start to bloom when school starts in September. I was afraid they might not survive the summer 0f 2011 when so many of our lawns are drying up.
Last year I said they would always remind me of September 11, and they do. Right now, in spite of a terrible drought and weeks of triple digit heat, those brave, hearty little red lilies are blooming their hearts out. Our nation is sad this weekend, but we are brave and hearty and we can still find beauty. God bless our nation and the men and women who defend her. God bless us as we remember our loss. Pray for Peace. Find and celebrate beauty. Beverly has taught us well. Have a Pink Week. Enjoy your visits at How Sweet the Sound and with the Pink Saturday community.
I’m off to Wimberley this Saturday…it’s Market Day, but before I head out, I’m putting out a PINK WARNING…just in case one of your friends invites you to join her on Pinterest…it sounds so innocent on the surface…share ideas with friends…get recipes…decorating hints… For example, I looked for “Pink” and look what I found…unfortunately, I have to admit that I stole this picture…
I say stole, because I didn’t Repin it giving credit for where I found it…very bad Pining manners, but I don’t have all the fine points of copy etiquette down yet.
Well, my point is this, if you thought Facebook and its web of games was a cyber black hole where your time somehow mysteriously disappeared, be forewarned…”Pin it” sounds like a good idea…so you pin a recipe for pulled pork, but then instead of heading to your favorite cookbook for your favorite coleslaw recipe, you start searching the web…you don’t need to write down ingredients, you simply pin it and then take your laptop into the kitchen to follow the steps while you cook…and your friends are notified of your pins so everyone knows what you’re having for supper…it’s kinda cool and kinda creepy. The possibilities are endless…Here’s the link, but be warned…it could be a double edged blade… good because it saves time by putting everything at your fingertips…dangerous because everything is at your fingertips and there’s so much lovely Pink out there…have a Pink Week.
Stop in to say “Howdy” to our lovely hostess Beverly over at How Sweet the Sound and enjoy the week.
