Pink Saturday!

Well, I have missed the last two PS's. including the 1year anniversary! Where have I been? Slacking, of course. Not really... we had some glorious weather so we spent most of our time in the yard. This past week has been rainy and cold. Yuck.

On to Pink Saturday. I don't have much to share this week. Just a few oddments.


I found the most luscious pink spray paint! Pink has now officially migrated to the yard, much to MDH's chagrin. I painted these pot hangers to hang my white baskets full of pink portulaca.





I've been bugging MDH to let me get a tiny chihuahua. Yeah, just call me Paris. We have two dogs already, but a girl can dream. In the meantime I found 'her' a sweet basket and baby blankies to wrap her up in when I get her. Wishful thinking!




Found these sweet vintage playing cards on Ebay. Pink roses!




And here is my little pot of sweet impatiens. The perfect shade of pink :-)



Please visit sweet Beverly, our Pink Hostess for this weeks list of Pinkies! Enjoy!

My new favorite blog....


and they have a STORE as well!!!

I won!

I LOVE getting goodies in the mail! I rec'd a sweet package from Caren and Ashley of Kdottie Designs! I "helped" name their new carousel horse and my name was announced as a co-winner this post.

Inside the cute "dottie-d" tissue paper was a package of darling napkins (too cute to use), and a little vintage-style keyhole lock-shaped wall hanging. Sweet! Thanks gals!

Another new bird!

We had another new bird on the sunflower seed feeder today!

He's a Black-headed Grosbeak! Not a great picture, as I had to sneak up on him! He's got a seed in his mouth! Cute! Prior to seeing him, there was another bird on the feeder that I didn't recognize, but it flew away before I could get a photo. Come to find out, it was probably his mate because it was a female!

This is a photo from the internet, but that's her!! Sweet!


We also have a couple of sweet tiny Yellow Warblers hanging around, but they are too quick for me!! Here's what they look like...

Itty bitty things! I LOVE bird watching!!
