This little pink tree is in our bedroom ~ I pictured it for dear Lori of Pink Faded Roses. See my little pink girl tag in the background & my wedding cabinet photograph that you gave me?!?

My dear friend Bertie of Aunt May's Cottage made the center medallion in this white bow for my daughter's wedding pew bows & I so love using it as our family room tree topper.

PINK SATURDAY CHRISTMAS 12/13/08

PINK SATURDAY CHRISTMAS 12/13/08

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!!

Now that the holidays are almost here, I'm beginning to realize just how much PINKNESS I have collected that is holiday themed ~ and I'm saving most of it to show Monday when I help DEENA of Can I Be Pretty in Pink celebrate the season with her party of CHRISTMAS DELIGHTS! Why don't you join us? Sign up with Mr. Linky here! You can post pics of your decor (any color!) inside or outside, years past, just whatever!!

In the meantime, have you seen these amazing dolls? They are called Reborn Berenguer Babies ~ and they are amazing ~ look sooo real ~ you can read about them in the auction description here. I've never heard of them before but found it very interesting reading about how they are designed.

Here is my Christmas purse


Three things I love: PINK SANTA & BLING!!


Sweet Angel Tealight holder painted by my dear friend Celeste of La Rea Rose


Cute little quilt block design for my girlfriend Katie

And just a sneak peek at more PINKNESS to come on Monday the 15th at the party!

Hope to see you then!
