Happy 3rd Birthday Pink Saturday

Happy 3rd Birthday PINK SATURDAY!!!! I am joining the other pink bloggers to celebrate this wonderful party Beverly throws for us each and every Saturday. It's such fun and I appreciate all she does. Thanks Bev!!

For this Pink Saturday post, I want to show you my latest, priceless, purchase of this PINK crinoline I bought from the Junk Gypsy last week.

I have wanted one of these for years. As a child I wore these and had several (oh how I wish I still had mine). I have looked and looked for a place to buy one but had no luck.

Then I was looking at Fifi O'Neills blog and she was showing one she was going to wear to an event she was going to and I went directly to the link she showed and well, the rest is history. I am in love with it!!! The ones I used to wear were stiffer but this one is beautiful and I LOvE It!!!!

I'snt it the sweetest pink you have ever seen?

I am letting my lady Olivia wear it in my bedroom and I think she wears it well, don't you? It's so fun to play dress up when your all grown up too.

I want to thank Beverly for all she does each week in having our PINK SATURDAY parties. Be sure to visit her at How Sweet The Sound and see all the other lovely bloggers contributions to this sweet party.

On a more somber note, please pray for all the people in Oklahoma, Missouri and all states that have had so much devestation from the tornados this week and last. My state of Oklahoma has been torn from 7 of them this week and there have been several deaths of small children, it is just heartbreaking. Please join me in praying for the families that have lost so much.

Welcome to My New Booth

Today I want to show you my latest endeavour. I have moved my booth to a different store in my local downtown antique store, newly established by two sweet sisters. It is called Dees Hidden Treasures. When I first moved in I rented the only small space which was at the very back of the store and had poor lighting.

I was happy with it, even though it was small, but then Linda and Dee decided I should move closer to the front so they made this wonderful space just for me and even moved me themselves.

I love the booth, now if I just had more time to work on getting things in here.........where does my time go?

I love this picnic basket I painted but decided to let someone else enjoy it.

The booth has potential, it is only 3 weeks old and I have a lot of work ahead of me spiffing it up and adding things to it. It is the only "pink" shabby booth in the whole store, I hope it goes over well. Any suggestions would be appreciated. I know a lot of you have had booths and know the ropes.

We had a wonderful rain last night, the first good rain of the Spring season and a real drought buster. Now my gardens will grow!!! I know a lot of you have had so much rain it is flooding but Oklahoma was in a drought before this.

I am linking to Pink Saturday and Show and Tell Friday. Hope everyone has a great weekend.

Pink Saturday

Good morning friends!! And a Happy Pink Saturday to you all. It is so cold here in Okla. this morning, 40 degrees in fact, we had to turn on the heater, can you believe it. Just had to show you my favorite room as it looks early every morning with the sun shining in from the East, I love this picture.

I am running out of Pinks, I need to get some inspiration and find something new to show you I know, but for today I will show you parts of my home inside and out. The above picture is a little vignette I have on my fireplace hearth. I am crazy about bird houses.

Now to the outside. See the green glider? My hubby bought this for me for Mothers Day and we spent all day putting it together in the 90 degree weather, but it was worth it. I love it.

I just love the outside in the Spring, so refreshing and I love my pinks outside too.

Last year I showed you my patio, but for those of you who missed it, I am showing you again. I made the pink pillow covers out of a thrift store bedspread I found. They are removable and washable.

My lavender is starting to come out more and starting to bloom and the red roses just look lovely with them.

This little angel is hiding in my flower bed under a rose bush.

And this great frog is a solar light my Mom got me for my birthday. Love it.

I hope each of you have a wonderful weekend and can enjoy the outdoors today. Thank you Beverly for hositing another Pink Saturday. I am also linking to Show and Tell Friday.

A Renewal of Spring

The first thing I want to do is honor my dear, sweet Mom for Mothers Day this weekend. My Mom is the most giving, loving, strong, sweet person you could ever find. In all my life, I have never seen her lose her temper or say anything mean or hateful to or about anyone. My Dad once said when I was little "If ever there were an angel on earth, your Mom is one." I believe he is right!!! Happy Mothers Day Mom, I love you.

Now I want to show you how my garden has begun to flourish and shows its beautiful renewal. I always love to get up each morning and see what beautiful flowers have emerged for that day and what surprise God has for me in my gardens.

I love flowers, Spring and statuary and today I am showing you some of my Spring finery and gardens. The picture above is my patio, I love the little fairy statue and the iron antique gate behind it.

This little lady with her butterfly net lives on my patio also.

This is my front yard where my hydrangeas and hosta are planted, I sooooo love hydrangeas and can't wait for them to bloom. The little statue waterfall is very special to me. The neighbor that lived across the street passed away a couple of years ago and her children gave it to me because they knew how I loved her.

This is my lavender garden. When it is in full bloom it is gorgeous and smells wonderful. There is a rose in that bed also. The rose used to be pink but turned red. STRANGE!!

This beautiful geranium was a gift to me from my boss for Secretary Day.

My roses are just beautiful this week. They always do so well at the first of Spring but when the Oklahoma winds and heat come they don't do as well.

This is one of my 5 peony plants. It smells like heaven and the blooms are so big and beautiful. Beside hydrangea this may be one of my favorites. (Who am I kidding, roses are my favorite).

I took this picture of a peony bud and almost deleted it but then I noticed the little ladybug in the top of the picture and thought it was so cute.

This closeup shot is of one of my clematis blooms. BEAUTIFUL!!! The blooms are as big around as a saucer almost.

And this is the vine with the flowers.

I want to thank Beverly for hosting this weeks Pink Saturday. My wish is for everyone to have a beautiful Mothers Day.

Hugs
