PINK SATURDAY 8/29/09 and the WINNER IS. . . . .

The first order of business for today is the awarding of my little new pink Capezio ballet slippers. I used the random number generator at www.mathgoodies.com but for the life of me I cannot get it to post here, so I will tell you that I entered the numbers from 1 to 43 and the lucky number was.......30. The 30th comment belongs to none other than the beautiful and talented ........

Miss ELE of A BIT OF PINK HEAVEN!!!!

Ele, congratulations and I hope you do some of your usual extraordinary decorating with these little slippers! They will mail out Monday!!

Now it is once again time for another fun PINK SATURDAY with our sweet hostess Beverly of How Sweet the Sound, so please stop by and visit her and then check out all the PINK participants this week.

Believe it or not, I forgot to show this little rooster yesterday at the ROOSTER PARTY below, so since he is strutting next to my PINK cannisters, I thought it appropriate to show him today.

I got home sooo very late Friday evening, I didn't have time to make more PINK pictures (I was out of town whiling away the hours with my precious grandson & granddaughter!) so I'm sharing some of my favorite pinks from last year below.

I would like to introduce you to two new friends of mine, one is already a PINK SATURDAY gal and the other one SHOULD be!! Please do yourself a favor and meet these ladies and leave them a comment. You will enjoy your blog visit with both of them as they have lovely things to share!

Madammoiselle Alex ~ this is her first Pink Saturday ~ she lives in Paris & let's just say someone models for her in much pinkness & may give Cindy Crawford a run for her money!

Rebecca at Belle Maison ~ this is a girl after my own heart. We have the same taste in many things, she has beautiful photography on her blog, and she really loves PINK, too ~ hey, Rebecca, come join us next PINK SATURDAY!!!!

I'll be spending the better part of tonight & tomorrow visiting my pink girlfriends & my rooster girlfriends, too! Shoot, who am I kidding? I'll be visiting them all til at least the middle of next week!!! Better go get started!

Big PINK SATURDAY Hugs,

Rhondi's Porch Party 2009 !

Rhondi of Rose Colored Glasses is hostessing a Front Porch Party here! Lots of bloggers are giving their own parties, too, so Rhondi is linking them to her. Please check all of the pretty porches out!

Since I love parties but am knee-deep, okay, NECK deep in cleaning out our storage building today, I'm posting some previously used porch party pics from Rhondi's last party here.

Have fun visiting, & would you mind bringing me a PINK glass of lemonade to the storage building?!?!?!

Hugs,

Rhondi's FRONT PORCH PARTY

Rhondi's FRONT PORCH PARTY

Today a sweet blogger Rhondi of Rose Colored Glasses is hostessing a Front Porch Party here! Lots of bloggers are giving their own parties, too, so Rhondi is linking them to her. Please check all of the pretty porches out!

Since my front porch is teensy, I thought I would invite you to come sit with me out on my back patio.

Our white plantation rockers are still in storage. I love to rock in the evening breeze.
Nothing is better to beat the Texas heat than pretty pink lemonade.

My little Jack Russell Terrier, Sissy, wants to join the party, too!
Daughter made the cake & I must confess I purchased the cookies!

Hmmm, looks like a little rhinestone bumblebee has landed on our pink tray by the lemonade!


DH surprised me with some awesome wrought iron fencing that we have placed around our patio.

I collect birdhouses ~ these are a few of my favorites.

We used this Boston Fern & column in our daughter's wedding. I hope the afternoon sun won't kill it.

My favorite child's wicker chair
My only mosaic piece ~ a gift from my daughter

My sweet friend & PRH sister Vickie of Visuals by Vickie has a mirror in her back yard ~ her entire deck & yard are so awesome ~ you should go look here ~, so I decided to try one of mine out in our backyard, too! Seems only appropriate, as I collect antique mirrors & sell them on eBay here, too!

My dear friend & PRH sister Bertie of Aunt May's Cottage sent me the adorable little leaf wrapped roses arrangement to use in my daughter's wedding.
I won this adorable handpainted sap bucket months ago from my sweet friend Karla of Karla's Cottage! She is one more dynamo ~ I get tired just reading her blog ~ but Wow, she makes sooo many pretty things & never seems to tire. The energizer bunny is coming to mind.....

Stroll with me over to the far right side of the yard

I love to sit & read on this old park bench under the trees, but not when the sun is scorching like it is today! I had to make my pictures early today, but this is a favorite place to sit anytime after five!
Bunny is holding a vintage Golden Book, THE THREE LITTLE PIGS.

She dressed up with her prettiest blingy vintage rhinestone brooch just for our party!
I love to bring my latest Romantic Country or Romantic Homes magazine outside & dream of our next to-do project! These magazines never cease to inspire me!

Well, I kicked off my flip flops to relax for a bit, but I'd better slip them back on & rush on over to the next party! I'd hate to be late!! Thanks so much for stopping by!
Hugs,
