Welcome to Pink Saturday.  Please join us by linking your Pink Saturday post permalink using the linking tool provided at the bottom of this post.  I will have my Pink Saturday post available at 5 p.m. EST every Friday.  So, be sure to link and show us your Pink.  Be certain to link using your pink post permalink.  And please remember to include a link back to my blog within your post so that your visitors will be able to visit here.

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.

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 Dana at The Stone Rabbit.  Dana first participated in Pink Saturday June 28, 2008, the fifth week of Pink Saturday.  I adore Dana, and I guarantee that you will, too.  Dana and I have become blogging and telephone buddies.  Dana is a skilled writer, and she has a quick wit.  When you visit her there is always a guaranteed smile and sometimes she will have you in the floor laughing until you cry.  She is a party planner extraordinaire, and you can expect anything from pink flip-flops to pink false teeth at one of her parties.  So do yourself a great big ole favor by meeting Dana.  You'll be glad you did.  Dana has written the following personal message to you.

I have featured everyone that had requested to be featured.  I am now contacting other participants each week by e-mail to see if they are interested in being featured.

Pink Saturday Featured Blog

If I had to write a Mission Statement about the purpose of my blog, THE STONE RABBIT,  I'd be in a world of trouble.  My blog is just about WHATEVER I feel like sharing at any given moment.   I'm not a decorator, cook, artist, photographer, deep thinker, writer or world traveler.  I'm just a wife, mom, MIL, nana, aunt, sister, niece, SIL and friend ---- who found out how much fun it is to have a blog and how great it is to include the people in my life, my furry friends, my interests and my concrete buddy in the posts I create.  

I typically like to keep my posts "light". . . with a bit of humor tossed in.  You rarely find serious stuff at my link.   So maybe my blog mission statement would read:  "it's an escape. . . . for those who read it and for me who writes it!!"  :)

PINK SATURDAY.   Who would have thought those two words would come to mean so much in the lives of so many?  I know they are very important in my life because they challenge me, every Saturday, to come up with a post which some how, some way incorporates a little PINK!   

Like many of you, PINK wasn't a commonly seen color in my house.  However, when I first signed up to participate in Pink Saturday, June 28, 2008, I had so much fun putting together my post about a roll of Pink ribbon that I just knew it would be an event I would continue to enjoy.....week after week!!!  I haven't counted the number of Pink Saturday posts I've written, but I know I haven't missed a one since my very first contribution.  And through those weekly posts, spanning nearly three years now, I have "met" some of the most amazing bloggers and readers.

So, thank you Beverly, for being the reason we all gather here each week. Thank you for spending the time organizing this large group of bloggers so we might create Posts of Pink and share them with others.

Also, thank you Beverly for featuring my blog today!!!  Happy Pink Saturday!

My pink contribution for this Pink Saturday is finally a few pictures of my kitchen.  Today I am sharing pictures of touches of pink in my kitchen.  Please come back Monday because I will be sharing pictures of the evolution of my kitchen as part of Metamorphosis Monday at Between Naps On The Porch.

    First off, please have a piece of chocolate while we visit.

You all know my cookie jar and pink depression glass biscuit jar.

I keep k-cups of spiced tea in the biscuit jar.

We can have tea and cookies if you are hungry.

Or maybe you would rather have a banana from my pink fruit bowl.

The bananas are closely guarded by my pink feathered rooster.

I've got my pink polka-dot coffee mug ready to sip my coffee.

And, there is my pretty dish towel with pink hearts.

Please don't take notice of the spots where I dripped coffee.

This vintage cruet and salt and pepper set belong to my mother.

And, the bottle is filled with pink grapefruit dish liquid.

I almost always have flowers in my kitchen.

These are pink-tinged alstroemeria.

They are a favorite, and they are so long-lasting.

 

This pretty teapot was left to me by my Aunt Alice.  It is now a forever treasure.

And, you must recognize my famous pink rooster.

 

Here's a pretty pink wreath hanging on the door leading to our sunroom.

 

You'll also find touches of pink in these rose prints in the breakfast room.

 

I hope you enjoyed pink peeping in my kitchen.

Please come back Monday to see the entire room.
