Pink Saturday

Hello there, everyone. Happy Pink Saturday! As always, thanks go to our hostess Beverly. Visit her blog to see a list of everyone participating this week. This Saturday marks a year since Beverly started this and we are so happy she did!

I thought I'd share some pink lovelies from Vignettes. I made one of my weekly pilgrimages to this luscious store and saved the pinks for today. This beautiful pink confection of a hat is gorgeous, isn't it?

What about this pair of pink swans? Wouldn't they look fantastic in a garden, or on either side of an entrance? Love them.


This dress is so impossibly beautiful ~ I fear it is someone for with a tinier waist than mine!

This lamp is one of a pair and they are huge!! I think they would make quite a statement, don't you? Maybe a bit too big for Mockingbird Hill Cottage...

These peonies from Trader Joe's have opened and are big and lush. They almost look like huge paper flowers, they are that big...and that beautiful!

Have a wonderful Pink Saturday and a restful weekend!

I love them all! :-) Yes, the hat certainly is a statement and itself, I would love to see those swans in a garden surrounded by those pink peonies, and the dress - perfect for a themed party! Like I said, love them all!

Claudia, you know I translated your page in french and it's funny. That makes me smile because sometimes the form of the sentences are strange! I think it's the same for French vs English. It is a robot translator so we forgive him(her)! Have a nice week-end and a wonderful week.

maidenshade said...

Yeah, it's Pink Saturday's 1 Year Celebration!

Okay, loved your whole post! But, my maiden name (LOL, MaidenShade's maiden name...) is SWAN. I think I need those pink swans... and that dress would fit me, I'm sure of it. I could wear it whilst creating... faerie catchers!

Today I've got Part II of For a Princess (with Part I recapped) - and as it is centered around a celebration, it fits perfectly what with all of the little princesses in their pink tiaras; ) I hope you can come by - I know you'll enjoy it.

Beautiful pink post. The pink dress makes me think of the ones I dreamed of wearing when I was a pre-teen. The closest I ever got to it was bridesmaids dresses.

Lynn@ The Vintage Nest said...

Good Morning Claudia and a happy Belated Pink Saturday to you. I collected tons of black seashells this time and purple ones. The purple ones I sent to my grand-daughter who loves purple. I told her a mermaid had left those gorgeous purple shells on the beach just for Grandmama to find for sweet Boo and then yesterday I found a purple mermaid at a yardsale. How apropo! I had to buy it for her to play with when she visits. Hope your Sunday is glorious. xo Lynn

My Shabby Roses said...

Love all your pretty pink pictures!

I just love peonies, they're right up there with roses!

Hi Claudia - the pink peonies are precious! Can you just imagine going to a dance in that pretty pink dress - I wonder if they scratched. Awww, the days of long ago and smaller waists! Pink Hugs!

Have a great week.

Susie Jefferson said...

How glorious - I'd wear the prom dress AND the hat (maybe to Royal Ascot). Happy Pink Saturday (finally). I had hayfever which has turned into sinus, so due to headaches I haven't been online since Friday! I do apologise for being so late (and I somehow don't think I'll be doing much visiting this week)
