Welcome to PINK Saturday, hosted by Beverly of How Sweet the Sound. Click on the link to view all of those participating!

I've been battling the flu this past week, and my very sweet daughter Tiffany brought this ever-s0-cute PINK mug over with a couple of small containers of Blue Bell Ice Cream! She knows me so well!!

I love this sweet chenille bunny my children gave me for my birthday years ago. She's pink and white, although the pink isn't showing up very well. I'll have to find just the right place for her this Easter. I have a 'carrot' basket that would be perfect to sit her next to!

My youngest daughter Rachel collected piggy banks...just pigs!...when she was a child. When she moved out, I got custody of the 'pigs', so I've used a few as door stops!

Flaunt Your Red!

Flaunt your Red is hosted by Nancy over at Southern Lady. Be sure to check out all the other participants listed there for some fabulous reds!

My first 'red' is this 'You are special today' plate that my sister-in-law gave our family for Christmas 20+ years ago. We've used it over the years for birthdays, graduations, engagements, promotions, school achievements, new jobs, Mother's Day, Father's Day...just about any and every reason there is for celebrating! We have continued the tradition by giving our children a plate when they marry and begin their own family. My youngest daughter received her plate this week!

This globe birdhouse with the red perch and stand was purchased at Marshall's several years ago, and it sits on the top shelf in our study. I liked it so well that when I found it in a smaller size in another city, I bought it for my son's apartment.

This plant is a cutting from my neighbor's bougainvillea. It's just budding out in the prettiest red blooms! Imagine my surprise and excitement to see the red from a parent plant that was pink!!

I found a medium canister and a large canister very similar to these at Marshall's. I was hoping to find the small one to complete my set. A dear friend of mine set out to find one for me, and bid and won a small Gracious Goods canister! Next to it, my two other canisters didn't look quite as bright, so I started scouting eBay for good buys on the other two sizes in Gracious Goods. I was delighted to get both of them for less than $100!! So now, my oldest daughter is the very happy owner of my knock-off set of canisters!
