Yep***Pink Saturday Is Here***

Saturdays are wonderful...well, just because they are Saturdays!  
But Pink Saturdays make it all the more special!

Here are some pinks for your viewing pleasure on this Saturday devoted to pink!

This sweet little pink teddy bear is sporting a new hat.....which is actually a wonderful floppy flower!  Isn't she pretty?!?

When going out, whether it's to dinner, shopping, or lunch with a friend, a pink headband with beautiful pink roses make it all the more fun!  I just adore this!!

I can't get enough of "midnight pomegranate" whether it is lotion, bath gel, or perfume.  Isn't this pink bottle pretty?!?  And it just smells pink!  Ahhhhh...yummy!

I found these pink roses in a craft store.  I know I will find lots of fun things to use them for!
Love this floppy pink pin/hair clasp!  It has a pin and a clip on the back.  So versatile...and PINK!  hee hee
I saved my favorite for last.....but this is definitely not least.  I have one of these victorian pink shoe bags in my shop.  It is perfect for filling with a special little treat!

Well, I hope you enjoyed my pinks.  Be sure to go by Beverly's to get links to LOTS more pink posts.....And have a

Costume Party



I'm running fashionably late for the party.....
Sares' Costume Party that is.

It has taken me some time to get ready.  
First, I had to squeeeeezzzze into this!
Ouch!  I am mean ahhh, pretty.

Next comes the perfume.

Can't forget my fan.  Isn't it lovely!  

Next, I'll show you my shoes because you won't be able to see them under my dress! 

 And now what you have been waiting for....my beautiful pink party dress......
I'm just crazy about my dress.  What wonderful pinkness, ruffles, frills, and lace.  Just what I pictured it to be.  Be sure to look closely at my jewelry.  Isn't it gorgeous!  It was a present from my sweet hubby just for the party!





Oh what fun it's going to be dancing the night away at Sare's Costume Party.  Be sure you go by the party and see who else attending!

Happy Pink Saturday

It's that fun time again.....Pink Saturday!
Today I have chosen some new pink goodies I haven recently gotten.

I got these precious suitcases to hold some craft supplies.  They are just precious...flowery...and PINK!

Millinery flowers inside one of the suitcases.

My best friend, Lisa, and I went shopping recently.  We decided we were going to have a craft day soon.  So, we chose to make a sugary house.  Of course, pink was the choice of color for both of us.  After our craft day, I will be sure to share pics of both of our houses.
  
And look at the pretty package that came through the mail yesterday!
It was wrapped just like a present!

This purchase I made from the adorable Scrappy Jessi.  
Isn't it just wonderful?!?

Lovely flowers .....

Now, be sure you head over to Beverly's to see all of the other pink participants!
Hope you have a beautiful pink day!

Pink Saturday



Happy Pink Saturday everyone!  Hope you are enjoying some pinkness as you travel through blogland today.  
Well, school is officially out.  I had to go back in on Monday to clean up my classroom and do end-of-the-year stuff but was done by 12:30.  The rest of the week, I have been getting some things done around here.  

At the end of the year, my sweet students brought me some lovely sweet gifts.  One of which was a bouquet of flowers from a student's mom's garden.  Aren't they just lovely!

Ahhhhh such pink sweetness.  They even smell pink *wink*.

Thanks for stopping by.  Please make your way on over to Beverly's to check out all the other pink participants.  Have a lovely PINK day!

Blessings,
Rebecca

Pink Saturday

Happy Pink Saturday everyone.  

I have been under the weather this week but did make it each day at work since it was the last week of school.  Yippee!!  I went to the doctor yesterday, got a shot, and a z-pack.  Now, I'm just waiting for it to kick in!  So, this post is a bit short today, but I hope you enjoy it just the same.


This is a crown that I made for our Literacy Leader at school.  I presented it to her last summer at our reading conference.  She wore it to the dinner for Literacy Leaders that night.  So, enjoy Sherrie's crown.  {sorry the pic is a bit blurry}

Today is a special Pink Saturday because it is Beverly's 1 Year Anniversary of Pink Saturday! 
Be sure you go by Beverly's to check out all the other wonderful Pink Participants.
Hope you all have a lovely Pink Day! 
Blessings,
Rebecca

Quaint Southern Charm


Whether it's a day of junquing and antiquing, visiting the arts and crafts festival, or dinner at the Bell Buckle Cafe, the 40 min. drive is well worth it!  I'm talking about the small town of Bell Buckle, Tennessee.  Recently my hubby and I had dinner at the cafe.  while that was a treat in itself...the best part was that our youngest son, Blake, and his friend Matt were playing music here that night.  They had been invited to play there to showcase their Christian rock band, Raimah. {Above pictures: Blake and Matt}.  We stayed and  helped close up this little one-horse town, and took a little stroll after dark passed the little shops.  So today, I thought I'd share with you the little town of Bell Buckle.  So come along and take a stroll with me through this quaint little town.

Nestled among the hills, farmland, and Walking Horse country, Bell Buckle is a railroad village of preserved and restored Victorian homes and churches.  The Webb School, a world-renowned college preparatory boarding and day school, is within walking distance.

The little town was established in 1852 and has become well known for antiques, quilts, handmade crafts, country music, and good ole' home cooking.  You will experience pure southern charm and hospitality during your stay.  Thousands of visitors pay a visit to this charming little town, enjoying its shops, eateries, and annual events and festivals.






Well, I hope you have enjoyed our little stroll through this quiet little town.  Hope you can pay a real visit to Bell Buckle some day.  You won't be disappointed!

Now, to get you ready for your visit to the south, I thought I'd help you learn the language a little better, so you won't stick out like a sore thumb.  
Youn't to?  K.
Here we go...

Now we are just going over there a piece:  small distance
Where you ask?  Well, over yonder:  over there
We're fixin' to eat some dinner.:  about to
What kind of coke ya want?--any soft drink
Co-cola:  Coca~Cola
sump'n:  something
I yousta do that.:   a past frequentative activity
Now don't pitch a hissy fit!  :  a minor fit
Dad gummit or Dad burn it!:  showing disappointment or frustration

Well, that should get you by for a bit.
 I hope you had fun learning these quaint southernisms.  
hee hee

Back Porch Blessings,
Rebecca

Happy Pink Saturday

Hello everyone! Welcome to another Pink Saturday!

I am running a bit late today, as Raimah had a concert again last night so we were late getting back home. But it was AWESOME!!!

I have chosen an Etsy find, a few of my favorite creations to share today,as well as, something from my childhood. There is also a giveaway that you MUST SEE!!
So let's get this Pink Saturday Party started!!

What girl doesn't love a pink jewelry box! I found this one on Etsy.

It holds a lot of vintage jewery in my Studio. I loved it so much that I made a banner out of it. :)


This is a Mother's Day tussie that I created for Two Velvet Bunnies. It's still there {and on sale}!


What a sweet little stork box for a mommy-to-be! Check out the little baby bundle that I created.


This is my favorite book as a child! My mother read it over, and over, and over, and over, and over! hee hee It's called Mr. Grabbit. He was a rabbit {yeah, I had a love for bunnies back then too} and he was never satisfied with just one of anything. He learned an important and valuable {and funny} lesson in the end.

***And Check This Out***
The most sweet Lilly Sue has a fabulous giveaway!
You have to check this out!
Be sure you go visit her here!!

OMGosh! I SO WANT THIS *insert screams here*
***GORGEOUS***

Well, that's my pink post for the day. Make sure you make your way over to Beverly's so you can visit all the other Pinkies out there!
