PINK SATURDAY 11/29/08

Hi friends! It is time for another PINK Saturday post!! Our sweet hostess for this ever-growing event is Beverly of How Sweet the Sound, so please visit her blog here to see all of this week's participants. Our list has rapidly grown to over 100 & you will be amazed at all the pretty pinkness out there!!

Our sweet daughter's birthday actually fell on Thanksgiving this year so I promised some pictures of her on her special day. Of course we had to have a cake with PINK icing & a PINK sparkly package on it!!

Bree & our precious granddaughter & soon-to-be little grandson!

Bree & Anthony, our son-in-law & soon-to-be new daddy!
Bree is due in January, but I'm not sure she'll last that long!!

Sharing a little of the pinkness in our bedroom with you today. Even Sissy's little shabby chic bed is PINK!


I started unpacking some of my vintage Christmas ornaments Friday.

I just love the pinks!

Happy Pink Hugs,

HAPPY THANKSGIVING 2008

HAPPY THANKSGIVING 2008

I just wanted to take this opportunity to say Happy Thanksgiving to all my special friends. I suspect we will all be busy today, but just wanted you to know that I have already asked God to bless all of my sweet friends, especially my blogging buddies, as I am so very thankful for each & every one of you.

We will be celebrating the day with our daughter & her family. Her birthday is also today, so along with all the pies there will of course be birthday cake! I'll be sure to make lots of pictures to share, as she is the most beautiful & VERY expectant daughter ever!!!

Just wanted to share a little of my Thanksgiving decor with you! Enjoy!

Blingy acorns in my favorite apothecary jar on one of our antique mirrors used as a plateau mirror


My very favorite Tday piece that I purchased at a sweet couple's booth that I shared a space next to at a craft show we did about 5 years ago


A Gurley Turkey candle

My sweet little Gurley Candle Pilgrim Couple

A fun Gobble Gobble

My sweet Indian Couple

I LOVE white pumpkins

And gold & silver ones, too!

I tried to add my pictures as if you were walking in through our front door & from room to room, but somehow they got all jumbled & I'm too sleepy to rearrange them. Besides, this way you can enlarge them if you see something you want a closer look at, & I've found that if I rearrange them they seem to lose that ability to be enlarged.

A sweet new (to me) blogger named Lisa of Stop and Smell the Chocolates sent me the most wonderful prize for leaving a comment on her terrific blog last month, so I'm posting pictures of all the items she sent me below. Please stop by her blog as it is so fun & uplifting. It is chock full of great pictures, interesting facts, & yummy recipes (see the Nov. 21st post for a great Chocolate Pecans recipe!), and CHOCOLATE!!!! What more could a girl ask for?!?!

Lisa, I simply adore everything you sent, but my very favorite item has to be the wonderful recipe book, as it has come in quite handy this season! And my VERY favorite thing is your super poem!!! I'll treasure it always, my talented new friend!

This pic was just too cute not to share!

May you & your family be blessed with a wonderful & bountiful Thanksgiving. A day of fellowship, terrific food, & sweet memories.

Happy Birthday, Bree ~ I love you so very much!

Thanksgiving Blessings & Hugs to all!

PINK SATURDAY 11/22/08

Hi friends! It is time for another PINK Saturday post!! Our sweet hostess for this ever-growing event is Beverly of How Sweet the Sound, so please visit her blog here to see all of this week's participants. Our list has rapidly grown to over 100 & you will be amazed at all the pretty pinkness out there!!

I bought these gorgeous PINK Victorian Courting Couple Lamps a while back & intended to use them in our family room, then changed my mind & went with a green & cream color scheme instead so these are for sale now. If you have any interest, just email me at stephkbird@tx.rr.com , as I'd love for them to go to a good new home.


I've been playing around with my pretty pink & silver Christmas balls that my sweet PRH sister & friend Jennifer of Jennifer's Petal Palace made for me a few years back. She has beautiful items for sale here on her selling blog, so please check her out! I adore her roses & leave my balls out year-round!

This is a picture of one of Jen's little trees all decorated for the upcoming holidays in her pretty pink ornaments that she offers. Isn't it adorable? And that ice cream cone ornie is sooo sweet!

More of the start of my Christmas decorating & more of Jen's pretty handpainted balls on my family room mantle. I have a new addiction, much to DH's dismay, of apothecary jars ~ well, practically ANY pretty glass container!!

I am out of town attending a refresher course on childbirth with my daughter today, playing the role of her coach, so I will be a few days late in making my Pink Saturday visits this week. I haven't had time to visit my dear blogging friends much at all this month but do miss you all so much & when I do visit, I promise to read all back posts & get caught up!!

PINK Saturday Hugs to all!

Pink & Black Cloth Diapers ~ how adorable is that?
Complete with a Pink Poodle on the bottom!!



I wanted to share a picture of my antique clawfoot kitchen table & chairs. My dear daddy refinished the table & gave it to us with 4 acorn chairs for a wedding present from he & Mother. I finally decided to paint the table white & am loving how it turned out. We purchased 3 antique barley twist chairs & added the pink/green toile & pink striped skirting. Just perfect for a pink Saturday post!!

Hugs,

This is one of my favorite antique mirrors. I love the scallop beveled edges, the way it catches the light & **SPARKLES**! DH surprised me with the sweet little vintage china handpainted roses bowl & I added some paper roses.

I've been busy stitching lots of pink, blue, & white vintage style ornies for my selling blog, Angelic Accents a la Carte. Thanks so much for all the orders that are coming in for these.

I thought that they would make for a nice PINK SATURDAY post!
