Happy 2nd Anniversary Pink Saturday!

Pink Saturday turns 2 this weekend! Stop by and join the celebration with all of the other lovely participants. You can find them listed on the blog of Pink Saturday's wonderful hostess Beverly of How Sweet the Sound.

I have been participating in Pink Saturday for almost one year now (on and off) and have had the opportunity to meet some terrific blogger friends. I have been so inspired by your faith, kindness, creative spirit and strength. I so look forward to many more years of Pink Saturday. Thank you Beverly for bringing us together each Saturday to share and celebrate the beautiful, feminine, yet strong color PINK!

To celebrate this special 2nd Anniversary Pink Saturday with you,

I took out one of my favorite tea sets (with pretty pink roses) and made some hot tea ...

and baked a yummy Pink cake with lots of Pink icing just for us...

Of course the first piece goes to our dear Pink Saturday hostess Miss. Beverly!

Enjoy!

Now, because it's a special Pink Saturday celebration, I am having a little pink giveaway.

Part of the giveaway is in one of the photos above...

No... it is not a piece of cake , silly! :)

It's the pink pedestal dish that my teapot is sitting on in the first photo.

This is a sweet metal pedestal dish that I painted pink.

Along with the dish I am giving away a pink 3" pillar candle embellished with hand painted roses

and sparkly glass glitter. Here's a photo of the giveaway...

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)
