Pink Saturday AND Valentine's Day!


Is there ever a more appropriate Pink Saturday than on Valentine's Day?!! Thank you, Beverly, for graciously hosting this theme. You can view the participants of Pink Saturday at How Sweet the Sound.


I've had this topiary form in the garage hanging on my potting bench for a few years now. Talk about procrastination! I thought what better time than now to get it out and use it with this beautiful, healthy ivy I had just purchased.


So, I headed out to Marshall's...my ALL TIME FAVORITE STORE...to look for an appropriate container. I think this one has filled all my requirements!



I just so happened to have this pretty pink bow that made my topiary illegible for Pink Saturday!


Ta-da!



One of my favorite lamps...made by Lenox~





A simple little heartshaped trinket box...



Now, how about a nice cup of coffee in a pretty pink floral china cup before you go?!


I purchased 6 of these cups and saucers years ago when my children were little so that each member of our family had their own special cup and saucer for those special occasions. They are the Flower of the Month Cups and Saucers by Royal Albert.


Don't forget to grab a homemade cookie on your way out!

Have a very Happy Valentine's Day!

I'd love to be able to grab a cookie on my way out. The topiary turned out very well. Very pretty lamp. Happy Pink Saturday!

Your cookies look so much better that the ones THE STONE RABBIT and I made, but don't tell him I said that! :)

Love that wonderful topiary!! So perfect for today! That lamp is beautiful, too!

I hope you are having a wonderful Valentine's Day and Pink Saturday--could it get any better?

I like your ivy topiary. I've been working on mine too. But it is very large and it's in the sun room at the moment.

I should take a photo so I'll have a before and after. I'm going to put it outside when it warms up.

Happy Belated Valentine's! I'm so behind, it will be PS again before I know it! I love your pink things. I'm bookmarking you to visit each Sat. I just cannot keep up with 160 blogs so I'm searching out my favourites! I love your Royal Albert china; thanks for the coffee and cookies!
