And Spring arose on the garden fair,

Like the Spirit of Love felt everywhere;

And each flower and herb on Earth's dark breast rose

from the dreams of its wintry rest.

~Percy Bysshe Shelley, "The Sensitive Plant"


Happy Spring!

Pink Saturday

Welcome to Pink Saturday hosted by Beverly of How Sweet the Sound.

Stop by her blog to see all kinds of pretty pink postings this and every Saturday.

Spring has Sprung! So tell me, have you started your Spring Cleaning?

Unlike the lady below, I actually enjoy cleaning...crazy, huh?!

Maybe she wouldn't be so down on cleaning if she had some PINK cleaning accessories...

Such as a pink mop...

a pink feather duster is a must...

or some pink buckets, sponges and scrubbers...

Oh my gosh... a beautiful pink rose apron would lift her spirits...

Or maybe this one,

You can't be down if you are wearing polka dots :)

No ugly yellow gloves here,

these pink gloves will protect her pink manicure and she will look fab...

Finally, the ultimate pink cleaning tool... A pink Dyson!

Spring cleaning never looked so good!

Have a wonderful Pink Saturday!

And don't forget to enter my Pink Giveaway, click on the picture below.

Good Luck!

Lá Fhéile Pádraig Sona Duit!

An mbeidh cupán tae agat?

In Irish Gaelic that means "Will you have a cup of tea ?"

A cup of Irish tea just for you on this wonderful St. Patrick's day!

Wishing you a rainbow

For sunlight after showers—

Miles and miles of Irish smiles

For golden happy hours—

Shamrocks at your doorway

For luck and laughter too,

And a host of friends that never ends

Each day your whole life through!

Lá Fhéile Pádraig Sona Duit!

( Happy St. Patrick's Day)

~Pink Saturday 2/20/10 ~

Now I am one who loves the winter and the snow. I love when the kids have a snowday or a surprise early dismissal from school. I love snuggling with a blanket and a good book by the fire and watching the snowfall. I love playing in the snow, making snowmen, snowball fights, making snow angels, sleigh riding and tubing . I even love shoveling the snow (well, maybe love is too strong a word for that...)

But now, even I am getting a little tired of the cold winter and am longing for a little green, fresh spring air, a little warm sun, the chirp of the baby birds...and the beautiful flowers that spring brings...especially the PINKS!

This is for all you pink lovers who are longing for spring...

Hang in there...it's on it's way!

Be sure to stop by Beverly's blog How Sweet the Sound now for more pink loveliness .

Thanks so much for stopping by this Pink Saturday! I hope you have a wonderful one!

Blessings,

"The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched...

They must be felt with the heart."

Wishing you a beautiful day!

Happy Valentine's Day

Wishing all of my sweet blogging friends a very happy

Valentine's Day!

I appreciate you more than you know...

You are each a joy and a delight....

A wonderful gift I truly treasure...

Your kindness and caring amazes me...

I am so blessed to know you...

Wishing you Sweet Blessings on St. Valentine's Day and Everyday!!

The New Year has started off really busy at our house and I have unfortunately not been able to blog much. And now cheerleading competitions have started, so pretty much every weekend we will be on the road to another competition. My daughter's squad is doing wonderfully. They placed first for their division in their first competition. It is so amazing how hard they train and the stunts they do. I have heard it said "If cheerleading was any easier, they'd call it football!" Hee, hee! We are super proud of her! :)

I did want to share a few things I have been working on. I will be listing them in the store soon. These are an assortment of hearts with clay roses for Valentine's Day or any time of the year.

Do you prefer to decorate with pink for Valentine's Day or red?

Hope you have a beautiful day!

Pink Saturday 1/16/10

It's Pink Saturday again! Thanks to Beverly for hosting each week. Go on over to Beverly's blog How Sweet the Sound to see other participants sharing lovely pink today.


This Pink Saturday I am sharing an Irish Dresden figurine. This is my first Irish Dresden piece and I just love it. This was a Christmas gift from my Mom-in-law.
I love the beautiful dress, of course the delicate lace, and the painted flowers on her gown. I have not found the perfect place for her yet, but for now I have her with my Irish Beleek.

Thank you for stopping by today!

I hope you have a beautiful Pink Saturday!

Blessings,

Our hearts are heavy and we are deeply saddened.

We are praying for the victims, families and loved ones who have suffered

in the recent devastating earthquake in Haiti.

May God hold them close to his heart at this most difficult time.
