Just a Bit of Pink

The Sun is Shining Hooray!!!

Today is Pink Saturday again and spring is just one week away! Oh my, That means the greatest time of the year is upon us. The earth awakes from its slumber.
New Birth and New Life
Whenever I get worried or concerned by all the disasters and sad things that happen in the world in which we live, the Word of God comforts me.
God does have a plan but you can only see it with faith, 
not as easy as it sounds, but His promises are true.
"While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease." Genesis 8:22
He does care, He loves us and He wants to be part of our everyday lives if we will allow Him.

So what do I have for PS? 
First this little teapot that is made to look like a flower.

Then I have my favorite pillow that for some reason has just not sold at the shop or ebay and I think it is because it is just too big. The reason it is so big is that I just couldn't cut this gorgeous vintage barkcloth so I made a pillow with the whole piece, 26". Anyway it is for sale if anyone is interested.

Have a wonderful weekend enjoying a day of rest in the Lord and all the blessings in your life.Be sure to get back to Beverly's to see all the Pink Posts for this the week before spring. Fondly Meg

A Rose for Me

Greetings! During my recent trip to Ct I had an hour to spare while my hubby was at an appointment so I headed out to do some window shopping and really had no intention of buying anything. I found a really nice home dec store and since I owned a home dec design store for 8 years I am always interested in seeing what other's  designs look like. The store had great furniture pieces. It was in a very old building and the owners had really used the charm of the past to create a gem for the present. Very sweet husband and wife team, very gracious atmosphere and super well kept store.

Anyway when I was getting ready to leave this little picture caught my eye. It was laying on its side behind a lamp and a floral piece so I couldn't really see it. As a matter of fact in getting it out I tipped a plate and made enough noise for the owner to ask if I needed any help." No, I said I was just trying to see this picture." "Oh , that just came in , Isn't it great?" she said. Well that was all the conversation I needed and at that moment I decided to purchase it. So here it is with all my favorite colors wonderful patina and flowers of course. I think I may find out who distributes this one as it would look nice on the wall of my small vintage garden shop that will open in May.I hope you have a great Pink Saturday and be sure to see what everyone else is collecting in the shades of pink at Beverly's How Sweet the Sound. 
Blessings to you! Meg

Flower Show Surprise

Amaryllis in Profusion!

What a great weekend we just had. We went to CT for my Mom's 75th birthday . I went a few days early because I was to make the cake with my two grand-daughters when they returned home from school on Friday. 

While driving them to school, the radio announced that today was day two of the CT Flower Show and guess what? I was only two miles away. 

 

Do you know what I did while they were at school. You guessed it! Three hours alone at a flower show in February smelling daffodils, looking at gardens, seeds to buy , garden gloves and just breathing in a taste or should I say a tease of spring!

Can you imagine having this many blossoms at one time?

Unfortunately my camera's zoom got stuck right after I took these pictures so all I have to show you is these glorious pictures of amaryllis. 

Enjoy! 

I probably should have saved this one for Pink Saturday.

Certainly all creation sings of God's Glory as evident in these pictures!!!

Hope you are having a great week. It is snowing here now 10" on the ground and 10" more to come overnight and spring is just one month away. Blessings to you Meg
