Pink Saturday Featured Blog

 

 

This week I am featuring Susan at Black Eyed Susan's Kitchen.  Susan has been participating in Pink Saturday in April 2009.  Susan is one of the wonderful people that is responsible for making Pink Saturday special.

I don't know if you know Susan yet or not, but rest assured you are in for a treat.  Susan love collecting so many of the things that most of us love.  She has a hammered aluminum collection that always has me drooling, and she has gorgeous vintage table linens.  And, as if that is not enough, I wish I lived next door because she is an awesome cook.

Please take a minute to go meet Susan,

and introduce yourself by leaving a comment.

Thank you, Susan,

for making Pink Saturday special.

 

Susan has written the follow personal message to you.

Susan at Black Eyed Susan's Kitchen

When I was a teenager, I taught myself how to sew. The seventh grade curriculum at our junior high-school did include a  home economics class, and that was where I learned for a short two weeks how to cut a very basic pattern and sew the navy blue duck fabric into a stiff aline skirt. Of course I had to learn to use the seam ripper as well, but that is another story. 

 

               I loved sewing and designing clothes so much that my grandparents bought me a sewing machine for my sixteenth birthday. With that machine I made a cape with a hood...not just any cape but a cloak out of an olive green wool that I lined with a hot pink satin lining. In 1970, this was a somewhat innovative color palette...what I have since come to realize is that pink, be it neon bright or sea shell pale, is a perfect foil for any drab color.

 

Fifteen years later, when I made our daughters third Halloween costume, although she insisted on being a furry blue cat, it was also lined with hot pink satin.

Pink is, without question, the happiest color on earth ( I know, Frank Sinatra is quoted as saying that it is orange) but I am pretty sure that it is pink. Things that make you smile... Pink flamingo's, pink flowers,

 

  

pink pyrex bowls,  

 

 

pink shoes and purses, pink lemonade, pink cotton candy, pink piggies, and pink champagne.

  

 

I can understand why Beverly might have chosen pink as a celebratory color on her weekly link-up, but I also know that pink is the color we think of first when we remember all of our sisters, daughters, mothers, aunts, grandmothers, and women near and dear to us who are fighting or who have fought with breast cancer. Pink has become a color of hope...the sweet color of a blanket that we swaddle our baby girls in when they come home from the hospital...we never expect that they will have to deal with breast cancer. 

Thank you for giving me this opportunity and platform to remind the women in our lives to do their self examinations regularly. Thanks to Beverly for hosting this weekly pink pick me up...it is a pleasure to write about and fun to visit the other blog posts to see what's pink in their lives.

♥, Susan

Hi Beverly, How is work going? I didn't get home until almost two and then I did my post. I will talk to you later I am taking a nap.
Love your pink and I imagine it gets a pretty good workout in that gorgeous craft room of yours. Susan's post was terrific. She is very talented. I am just putting finishing touches on her circle journal. I love her theme.

Have a great Pink Saturday. I will be home for a change with no company and I am going to visit my dear blogging friends for a change. My life is way too busy.

[Kaye Swain]

PS Sorry for the duplicate - the first time I posted I got a really weird error message saying it hadn't gone through, so I reposted with diff. pix thinking that was problem. Then they both showed up - joys of the internet :) They're the same post, so fine to delete. Blessings!

[Marcia]

Beverly, I'm commenting twice this week because I came back to visit some more guests and I noticed your challenge. I had not seen it before but I will most certainly include it with my PS post next time.
LOVE this blog-hop.

[riverside studios]

Love your calculator!!! It reminds me of a sparkly one I have in the junk drawer...not working, probably just needs a new battery, but it's so pretty I couldn't just throw it away. Your pretty in pink one has me inspired to take it to Radio Shack to see if it can work again! Thanks for all the links to all the Pinks...Have a Pink Week. I'll be finishing up Nancy's circle book this weekend...some of her favorite things...vintage wallpaper, hand dyed lace, and lots of Pink!
