Teacup Tuesday

It's Teacup Tuesday once again.
Time for all to share their pretty teacups.
There is always so much eye candy to see
when you visit those participating with Martha and Terri.
Thank you to Martha at Martha's Favorite's
and Terri at Artful Affirmations
for hosting this lovely event each week.
Today I am sharing my green Heritage Rose teacup from Lefton.
I just love the pink roses on this set and the soft minty green background.
The scallops add such feminine detail.
This is my daughter's favorite tea set of my collection.
We used it often when she was little for tea partys :)
So, it holds a special place in my heart...








Wishing you a beautiful Tuesday!

Just wanted to share a few things I completed recently.

It's been so difficult to find time for painting or crafting lately.

I have been busy with all of the activities that come with school ending.

Where did this school year go ?!


Wishing you a beautiful Monday :)

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.

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! :)

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...

Today is my birthday.
Hubby is working double shift, kids are at school.
It is a beautiful sunny day.
Couldn't spend the morning in the house.
It was the perfect morning for a springtime walk along the brook.
....I love this time of year.

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)
