A HAPPY PINK SATURDAY

Well, well, well, I have not posted for Pink Saturday for several years.  Long story short, I lost my blog voice a few years ago and am trying to find it again.  Anyway, I have continued to follow my favorite blogs over that time, and I am happy to again join Beverly at How Sweet the Sound this weekend and show off a few pinks that tickled me, well, PINK.

I am in a fall kind of mood right now, wistfully seeing summer 2017 in the rearview...soon, it will be cold mornings and crisp afternoons, and the leaves here turning those fabulous reds and gold..ah..my favorite time of the year, for sure.  But how about some PINK for fall?  I found these lovely photos on Pinterest..not my own, unfortunately.  But I am going to throw some PINK in for my fall décor this year!

Enjoy!

I'm so happy you visited me today, would love for you to leave me a comment..

Fall’s Pink Blooms

Most of us think of ‘fall’ flowers as the beautiful browns and golden yellows, but I went on a search of some beautiful fall pinks..

How about the lovely coleus..

Or some purplish asters..

 

I’m not sure what this is, but I love it!

Love these mums..

Finally, just a pretty fall bouquet…enjoy!

I am linking up to our sweet Beverly at How Sweet the Sound for Pink Saturday.  Please stop by to say hello and also visit some of our fellow Pinkies while you are there..

Have a wonderful first weekend of Fall, and also a wonderful Labor Day, a time to relax, rewind and reminisce the summer that has just passed.  Thank you for stopping by and I love your comments!

September!

I love the month of September, I truly do..After the long, hot summer here in the desert, are we ready for Fall!  And September marks a new beginning, cooler weather is coming and Fall decorating.  It’s really my favorite time of year.  What is your favorite time?

I’ll be doing a Pink Saturday post tomorrow, so come on back to visit!  My last post was a downer to write and read, but I needed to get something out of my system because I feel better now..I know God does not make mistakes, although it seems like we have made so many the least few years, we have been in each house for a reason, and we are HERE now for a reason..in time we will make it back up to Northern California nearer to our little  granddaughter, and you know about the time we are able to do that our older son will probably marry and give us a grandchild, and he lives in Southern California not very far from us..then I will be torn!  But for now, our roots are here and I am going to learn to be happy where I am..I thank those that left sweet comments for me, I was glad to know I wasn’t alone in how I was feeling.

Now, the newest picture of Grace Lily, at 3 months old:

Look at that sweet, sweet smile..Gramma loves you, sweetie♥

All Boxed In!

I am doing one post for two meme’s..stay with me here, I have never done this before!  So Pink Saturday and FALL FINDINGS, here it is!

First, I participated in an awesome swap called Fall Findings, hosted by Karen at Some Days are Diamonds.  We were to take a cigar box and ‘FALL’ it up..I was so excited to wrap mine up and get it sent I forgot to take pictures DUH, but I hope my partner Diane at Nellie's Nest enjoys what I put together..that said, I received a beautiful decorated cigar box from Sherry at Blessings from our Nest.  OH MY.  I opened each and every thing carefully, getting a pressie in the mail to me is heaven and to be enjoyed slowly and carefully.  I did remember to take a few pictures of my treasures from Sherry

Quite a stash, would you not agree?!

buttons, tags, a gorgeous hang tag, some beautiful fall leaves, a cute little leaf shaped dish with the cutest bird filled with Washington State acorns, a pumpkin candle, black ric rac, two little stuffed pumpkins, some old blue thread, a lovely paperweight, two lovely table runners, one is on my coffee table, perfect!  Last but not least, a yard of the prettiest fall fabric since Sherry knows I sew.  I was so thrilled!

And the nicest card from Sherry.  Sherry, thank you so much and I am so glad you were given me as your swap partner!  I will always treasure my goodies..

I am also linking this to Pink Saturday.  Be sure to visit our sweet hostess Beverly at How Sweet the Sound who works so hard at putting our Pink Saturday’s together each week.  Please visit some of my pink sistas.  And since this is the last weekend in October a last reminder that this is Breast Cancer Awareness Month.  If you are late or in need of a mammogram, please get it!  I have an appt to see my doctor at the end of November and will get my mammogram shortly after..

Have a wonderful week!

Hardly seems like we have been back from our little cruise for almost a week...we are thoroughly enjoying the fall weather here in the beautiful Pacific Northwest..As we drove into Olympia today noticed that some of the trees are turning colors..I think next week we might take a little field trip to the base of Mt. Rainier and see if we can find some real fall colors..Will be sure to take my camera.

I think fall is my favorite time of year...here are a couple pics from our cruise to Cabo..
