Pink Saturday - September 4, 2010

   

Happy Pink Saturday !

This week we have one hundred fifty-nine (159) participants in Pink Saturday.  There are five new participants, and you will find them at the bottom of the list.  Let's all take time to welcome them to Pink Saturday.  All participants are listed in the order in which they began participating. 

Please take the time to visit other participants, and leave a comment to let them know you stopped by to enjoy their pink.  Pink Saturday is about having fun, and giving us a chance to meet others in the blogging community.  I promise you it is worth the effort because you will not only see lots of pink, you will meet incredibly nice and talented people.  Please refer to my post dated January 8 for more information about Pink Saturday.

Remember that my reminder e-mail stated I needed your plan for participating today no later than 8 a.m. EST Friday.  If you don't see your name and link here it is because I did not receive your plan for participating by that time.

I want to thank those of you that take the time to leave me a comment.  I love reading what you all have to say.

Reminder - We have a weekly challenge for you to visit the blog of at least one participant that you have never visited before.  Then next Saturday include that blog and a link in your post.  Quite a few of you have been done this challenge, and have met some of the great Pink Saturday participants.  Thank you for sharing with us.

This week I am featuring three blogs of Pink Saturday participants.  These Pink Saturday participants have requested to be a featured blog, and there will be up to five featured blogs each Saturday.  Please visit, get to know and say hello to these participants.  They have each written the following personal greetings to you.

Pink Saturday Featured Blogs

• Amy at Vintage Porcelain Art

First of all, I would like to thank Beverly for the privilege of being a featured blogger.  I very much look forward to "Pink Saturday" and enjoy participating!  I am a porcelain artist with over 20 years experience.  I specialize in the vintage "lost" art of china painting in the style of the old victorian masters as well as in the romantic, shabby and cottage chic style.  My talent comes from God and I feel blessed any time I am given an opportunity to share it.  My blog is mostly about my china painting, but being a wife and mother also, often times I like to share things going on in my family and news about what God is doing in our lives.  I invite you to come pay me a visit, and I look forward to it! 

 

• Anne at Phamily blog
  

I am really honored to be part of the featured blogger list.  Beverly makes this so easy to do, I am always glad to pitch in and add my perspective to things.  I was so afraid to get involved wondering if I was in over my head!  But with encouragement from my life long friend Barb at Dogmom Diva I joined Pink Saturday.  I started this Phamily blog because my middle daughters little dog was diagnosed with liver cancer.  When she passed away this May I found different outlets to express my love of writing.  I have not missed a post since I started in January 2010.  I write about my phamily and I have been encouraged by many to start crafting more.  I am looking forward to getting a sewing machine and trying my hand at making aprons and other smaller projects.  I have a great love of people and it makes me so happy to meet new people through Pink Saturday and all the other posts here in blog land.  I have made some true friendships as they are just what I need as I work in a stressful ENT office with three other women and one doctor, the lone man in this office!  I enjoy my laptop time.  I am grateful to be part of such a wonderful extended phamily of friends and the fellowship here is remarkable.  I am planning to make some "tags" and get involved in more giveaways as I love to give things away.  It stems from fourteen plus years with Princess House and I have a shed full of product to prove it!  Although I love the product I am in over my head!  I like sharing quotes and recipes and I have a great deal of fun.  I am so honored to know everyone here at Pink Saturday.  I thank Beverly for her gracious hosting of these posts each Saturday and want to say thank you to everyone involved.

 

• Cathy at Treasured Heirlooms
  

A world of enchantment begins when you visit Treasured Heirlooms blog.  Elegant and whimsical one-of-a-kind creations, my garden activities, and all of my newly created projects are featured to uplift your spirit, provide inspiration and to keep you abreast of newly listed items for sale in my shops.  I have had the honor of having my home, garden and exquisite creations featured in several publications such as; "Romantic Country", "Cottage Style", "Country Victorian", and "Small Room Decorating" to name a few.  My holiday home even made the cover of "Romantic Homes" magazine with a 10 page holiday feature that was over-the-top in my favorite color of course, Pink.  Living in New England allows me many opportunities to purchase at estate sales and antique shops bringing my customers a great variety of vintage and romantic home decor.  You can expect to find everything from vintage rhinestone jewelry to rare glassware, vintage holiday items, linens and teacups and so much more.  I so enjoy your visits and continually seek to provide my customers and blog visitors with exquisite finds for your home and garden and my unique style of one-of-a-kind treasures to last a lifetime.  I know you will enjoy your visit to my blog and websites.  I hope to see you there soon.  Thank you kindly.  Cathy

Good morning Beverly, I am praying for Colette. Isn't it wonderful that she can have a beautiful bedroom to recover and enjoy? This photo is terrific. I wonder who the next recipient will be.

Andrea is coming over this morning, more like noon I think. She and I are going shopping to find her a new outfit for the anniversary party on Sunday. Maybe we will find something pink!!!

Love you, Jeanne

Thank you for organizing the Pink Saturday crew for their part of the Miracle party and a future makeover. Also, thanks to YOU for keeping our Pink Saturday such a special place to be each week!

Hope you have a great Pink Saturday and a safe and happy Labor Day weekend. Since Thursday I have been to a huge flea market near St. Joseph, MO, and two local festivals....today, we have two birthday parties. Yes, I am tired already, but it's a great tired!

Happy Pink Saturday Beverly...
Oh what fun we had last weekend. I had the best time participating and helping Kelee with the Miracle MakeOver.
It just brought so many new friends into our lives and gave us such satisfaction to know we were making a
difference in the next miracle makeover or two maybe?

I love coming and celebrating Pink Saturday with you. Thank you again for being such a wonderful hostess, and
for such a clever idea years ago. We get to meet the Best of the Best here. My world has been made so much pinker
with you in my life. Thank you sweet friend, thank you.

Hope you have a wonderful holiday weekend. Anything fun planned? Many hugs and much love, Sherry

We just got back from a long weekend in the wood and I cannot tell you how much I've missed my computer, sugar!!!! Squeeeeealllling with delight. I hate camping as most people know and bribed Love Bunny to come back one day early because when we awoke it was 27° out there and out water had frozen solid. Hey, I'm back so anything goes to get back to civilization, right? Hah
xoxo,
Connie

[Lindsay]

Darn, darn, darn! Autopost failed again! I can't post on Saturday because it's the Sabbath, so i have been setting the posts on Friday to auto populate on Sat at 1 a.m. But it only works sometimes, and this week was not one of them! I am so sorry! My post is now live at http://radioactivecats.blogspot.com/2010/06/what-makes-you-want-to-play.html for those who want to see it.

From now on, I am just putting my Saturday post up on Friday. I give up on the other thing!

Happy (belated!) Pink Saturday!

[Ineke van den Akker]

Happy Pink Saturday!
Greetings from Holland,

And many thanks for your always sweet words to me, Beverly! I'm only sorry that I cannot be more present during this tiring time. Thanks for understanding! Will try to post PINK anyway, every now and then ;))
Big hugs,
Monicax.
