************************************

 

Today for Pink Saturday I offered

 

to answer any questions you might have.

 

I was asked the following questions:

 

• Pat at Mille Fiori Favoriti asks:

"What has been your favorite Pink Saturday post that you have written?"

This is one I had to give some thought because I always feel like my Pink Saturday posts are lacking.  Between working full time and preparing for Pink Saturday each week, I usually feel as though I am barely squeaking through.

I believe one of my favorite posts was when I first started sharing something pink each Saturday.  This post was about a very special little box that my husband and I purchased many years ago.  Here is This May Come As A Big Surprise ... if you would like to read it.

• Dana at The Stone Rabbit asks:

"Besides being with your dear family any chance you get ....what is the number one thing you like to do above ALL ELSE!!!!!!!"

Another hard question for me because there are so many things I like to do, but I tried to think about something I value most.  I really thrive on what I refer to as my quiet time.  I am a thinker and lover of peace.  I really thrive on spending time alone to stay in touch with God and try to understand my purpose in life.  Every day I make a point of going somewhere quiet where I can listen to the message and what it is telling me.  So, that is my favorite thing to do because without it I am not at my best.

• Angi at Southwest Cottage Designs asks:

"What was your best way to acquire a large following?"

This question really made me smile.  I don't know that I think I have a large following.  What I do think has a large following is Pink Saturday.  And, I don't think of Pink Saturday as being about me.  I think it is what it is because of every one that has ever participated.  Pink Saturday has the nicest, kindest and most giving people participate.  Everyone shares something special.  They offer friendship, love and compassion for each other.

• Nancy at My Crafty Little Page asks:

"Do you do your own yard work?  Love your yard and wonder if you have hired help???

Oh my goodness.  This question made me laugh aloud.  I could hardly wait to share this with my sweet husband.  He said to tell you that he is the hired help - and that he is well paid.  My husband loves to work in the yard.  I think it might be because he grew up on a farm.  He really gets in touch with dirt, grass, plants, etc.  I, on the other hand, am a city girl.  I love all of the beauty, and I am the author of our never ending honey do list.  He thinks I never run out of ideas, and I think he is absolutely correct.

Thank God for wonderful husbands.♥

 

• Claudia at Dipity Road asks:

"How is your life changed because of all the wonderful friends you have made on line?  AND - does anyone ever say to you.!!these aren't REAL friends? and if so how do you respond?

You are so right.  I have made so many wonderful friends through blogging.  They have made me a better person by sharing their worlds, their hearts and their love.  Every one demonstrates that our world is really not a very big place.  We all share the need to love and be loved.

Occasionally, when I mention someone, people might ask if that is one of my on-line friends.  Dear friends speak to your heart whether they are on-line or in person.  And, you all speak to my heart.

• And, last but defintely not least, Stephanie at Queen of Dreamsz asks:

"I know you collect different things in your home..you've shared a lot of them...so my question is what is the largest collection you have and what is it?"

The real collector spirit in our home is my mother.  She lives with us, and she always decorated her home with little and sometimes quite large collections.  When she had her own home, she had a collection of something in almost every room.  At various times, she collected character dolls, pink Capodimonte roses, antique figurines, roosters and pigs, Royal Doulton Toby mugs, walking canes, children's toys, swan figures and Santas, Santas, Santas.  By miles and miles, her largest collection was Santas.

When we moved and began living together, all of her collections came along.  Over the years, out of sheer need, we have begun to whiddle down some of her collections.  Some have been shared with family and special friends and some have been sold.  We still have some of the things most special.  We still have a few roosters, quite a few Santas and various items featuring pink roses.  We still have many, many, many things that we need to sell.  I am an only child, and I have an only child that doesn't want to have to deal with all of it when the time comes.

Now, to finally answer sweet Stephanie's question, I did have a few collections of my own.  I used to collect Madame Alexander dolls and pieces of china and porcelain featuring portraits.  We have been living here twenty-one years, and my poor Madame Alexander dolls have never been unpacked because I don't have a place for them to live.  My portrait pieces are displayed in an antique oak side-by-side in our bedroom.  Today the only things I actively collect are pieces to complete something I already have - like dishes.  Oh, and I do purchase a sweetgrass basket every time I visit Charleston, South Carolina.  And, I do purchase one new Christopher Radko Santa ornament for our tree every year.

********************************

 

Here are a few things you may or many not know about me.

• I am a Beverly - not a Bev.  Always have been and always will be.  None of my family or friends ever call me Bev.

• My favorite color is yellow.  I love soft and buttery yellows.  Yellow has been my favorite color since I was a child.

• I love to read.  My preferences have always been non-fiction, historical fiction and classics, but I have learned to enjoy many Southern authors.

• My husband and I both enjoy researching our family genealogy.  This is something I started at the very young age of eight.  I am so glad I became interested at such an early age while I still had living family members to share so much information and many interesting stories.

• I am not much of a television watcher.  I do watch a few things with my husband, and my best friend, Jeanne at Backyard Neighbor, has dragged me into watching American Idol and Dancing With The Stars.  I record them so I can watch only the parts that interest me.

• I am fifty-eight years old.

• I have the world's most wonderful husband.  We have been married almost forty-one years.

• I have one incredible son who has one incredible son (my wonderful grandson).

• I was blessed with wonderful parents.  My mother lives with us, and she is still beautiful at almost eighty-three years of age.

• I was raised to know the comfort and blessings of God.  And, I am the recipient of His presence in my life daily.

• I spent most of my life living in Florida - mainly Fort Lauderdale.  We moved to North Carolina twenty-one years ago, and I do love living here.  But, in my heart, Florida will always be home.

[Becky @ random musings of a deco lady]

Beverly, Happy 3rd Birthday!!! I want to thank you so much for hosting this photo party. The reason I started participating in the first place was to challenge myself to find pinks to photograph. Although I have two daughters and they had lots of pink "stuff" when they were young, I don't really have much pink in my house and this gave me a reason to look for pinks. I can't tell you how much fun it has been. Even my spouse got in on the act last fall and drove miles out of the way so that I could photograph a vintage pink Chevy pick-up truck. Thanks so much for all the good times each week. And here's to many more!!!

Becky

[Daniella Hayes]

God bless you and have a wonderful weekend. Hugs, Terri

Happy Happy Birthday to you and Pink Saturday Beverly! Thank you so much for hosting such a fun and lovely bit of femininity (sp?) for us each week. It's always so fun to know that as I sit back and relax on Saturday, or even Sunday, I can come here and peruse the beauties of PINK from the participants. AND, to make it even better, I now am a Pink lover! Never had been before, because with only 2 sons and 3 nephews in the family, PINK was NEVER a color I could use!! So thanks for many happy hours!
Blessings, Doni

Happy pink Saturday birthday Beverly.

Thank you again and happy third pink birthday.

[Holly]

Hi Beverly~
One of my very best friends is Beverly - not Bev. It must be a name reserved for special people because she is too!
My question for you is - where did you get the idea of starting a following with the color pink? (That is my favorite color).
Thanks for this wonderful group and many pink blessings to you!

[Create With Joy]

Happy 3rd Birthday to you Beverly and Pink Saturday! I love visiting you, your blog, and your fabulous meme! You add beauty and joy to the blogosphere and I am wishing you many, many more!

Happy 3rd Pink Birthday!!! Thanks for the linking party too!

[Beverly]

Here is my answer to Mary at Mary's Meanderings. Her question is:

what made you decide on having a Pink Saturday instead of a Yellow Saturday?

Ha! I can see why you would wonder. It is because my mother's favorite color is pink, and it seems we have an unending supply.

Don't worry though, I do love pink, too.♥

[victoria]

Happy Pink Saturday 3rd Birthday Beverly :D
you have made the blogging world such a better place

Happy 3rd Birthday! I adore PINK and I'm so happy to be part of your link party.

[Beverly]

Here is my answer to Holly at 2911 Jeremiah Avenue. Her question is:

where did you get the idea of starting a following with the color pink?

I try to post something on my blog every day, and I prepare my post each evening when I get home from work. One Friday I came home, and I was super tired. I sat at my computer trying to think of something to post, and my brain was drained. So, I picked up my camera and walked around the house looking for inspiration. Next thing I know the little light bulb in my brain began flashing PINK, PINK, PINK. You see my mother is a collector of much - and much of it is pink. I decided that each Saturday I could easily share something pink. And, so Pink Saturday was born. In the beginning, I posted something pink, and then I started being contacted by others wanting to post pink. It is all of you that grew Pink Saturday. We all gather together to share our lives. We have made each other smile, shared hugs along the way, and prayed our prayers for others together.

[karenharveycox]

Congratulations Bev,

You have taken these three years and made them so delightful for me and so many others. Thank you for painting The Land of Blog pink!

Great party! Congratulations Bev, lets hope there's many more to come.

[Trish Shamp]

Happy 3rd Pink Saturday Birthday you SWEET lady! Consider the Lilac cupcake I posted in a pink wrapper for YOU too on this special fun event. I feel so lucky to be a party of these posts....I find so much delight in visiting these blogs that link up...and have made some new friends. Thank you for connecting us!!!

[Susan @ My Place to Yours]

Great post, Beverly! Congratulations on THREE years of Pink Saturday! (I'm amazed that your favorite color is yellow!) By the way, I too am lucky to have one of those "well paid" gardeners!

[Laura Lee]

Thx Dear Beverly,
I love being a part of pink saturdays. I was so suprised to find out your favorite is actually yellow. Another beauty I might add. Spring is actually here so we'll have plenty of pinks & yellows. I also like those two colors together. Another theme perhaps? Have a great holiday & birthday. You deserve a break today!!

LL

[Jenn]

That's some celebration! Was fun to watch the video clip. Oh my, I remember when they first became popular (Ed Sullivan Show and everything). I remember some of the things you said, like your favorite color being yellow. I thoroughly enjoyed reading the questions and your answers. I appreciate your outlook on what you spoke about. And, enjoy being a part of Pink Saturday now and then. Glad I started participating and enjoy meeting various people here, on their blog and mine. Three years! That's awesome! Happy Happy Birthday! Job well done! Thanks, Jenn

[Ewa]

Happy Birthday!!!!

[Jenn]

PS - I just love the new linking display. I just scrolled over it and it looks awesome!

Happy Birthday, Pink Saturday! Nothing beats the original! This is only my second time to be part of this fun meme and I am having a grand time.

It's nice to know more personal stuffs about you. I can't help but let out a smile when I learned that your fave color is yellow ;-)

Congratulations Beverly! Pink Saturday has come a long way not only because of the huge followings that it got but also because of the wonderful person that you are.

Love and Hugs from the Philippines!

Although I have only been a very sporadic Pink Saturday poster (and I have nothing this week to share), I couldn't let this momentous occasion pass without wishing you a very happy 3rd Pink Saturday birthday. Because of your tireless energy and dedication, Pink Saturday surely must be one of the most popular, longest running, and well-known parties in Blogland.

BTW, I was a bit surprised to read your favorite color is yellow. :)

Beverly, Happy Happy Happy birthday! Congratulations on celebrating 3 years of pink and letting us take part in this with you. It was fun to learn that your favorite color is yellow. I, like some of the others, just assumed it was pink. There are lots of beautiful pink posts tonight!

Again, congratulations!

Nancy
