Pink Saturday

A touch of pink on the horizon will hopeful make it possible to see roses like I enjoyed last year.

Many more pretty pinks are at http://howsweetthesound.typepad.com/my_weblog.  Beverly delights in your visit.

 

Sky Watch Friday

Our wonderful team, Yogie, Sandy and Sylvia, bring us another wonderful Sky Watch edition.  Check them out at http://skyley.blogspot.com

 

In Texas, it just takes a minute for the skies to change.

 

Vintage Thingie Thursday

Wonderful vintage goodies for your enjoyment each Thursday at
http://coloradolady.blogspot.com. Our hostess, Coloradolady, makes all this possible.

I had to go to the bottom of my vintage barrel to find something to share.  This is a vintage pink, enamelware colander.  My mother used several over the years, but do not remember ever seeing one like this.

 

Outdoor Wednesday

Susan allows us to share interesting outdoor scenes each Wednesday. When you visit her at
 http://asoutherndaydreamer.blogspot.com you will see what I mean.

Every body has different tastes when it comes to the outdoors. Trust one of mine will be to your liking.

 

Blue Monday

You never know what will turn up blue on Blue Monday.  When you visit
http://smilingsally.blogspot.com beautiful and interesting blues will greet you.

This is the home of a family in East Texas. Every year my sister and I go there and get muscadines (in the grape family).  We love them and he has the best. However, this past year was his last due to health issues and wild hogs eating his vines. At least, another thing he did right was paint the house trim blue.

A nice blue way to close the end of these glorious events.

 

Pink Saturday

Each week Beverly at
 http://howsweetthesound.typepad.com/my_weblog
arranges for us to enjoy some beautiful pinks. You never know which one will catch her eye. I  am running out of pinks.  Guess I will venture out on a pink hunt.

Perhaps this week you will join me for tea or coffee in these pretty cups with a touch of pink.

 

Sky Watch Friday

It is time to join Sylvia, Yogie and Sandy for the most beautiful skies ever.  Join me at http://skyley.blogspot.com

Vintage Thingie Thursday

The best Vintage Thingie show in town can be found by clicking the image or going to http://coloradolady.blogspot.com Coloradolady will be make you welcome.

Different modes for different folks.

This is a well used vintage Ford TW20 pedal tractor.  Looks as though some child made good use of it.

Blue Monday

We finally had a warmer weekend, but terrible wind.  Will be nice to see all of Sally's pretty blues though.  Let us go to http://smilingsally.blogspot.com and see what she has to share.

A neat why to (spin) spend time.  Nice needlepoint sentiment.

Pink Saturday

 Pink Saturday with Beverly each week is such a pleasure.  When you stop by her place at 

http://howsweetthesound.typepad.com/my_weblog, you will be blessed with great pinks.

After I took this, was not sure what it represented. At the time, all I was thinking I found something in pink. Later, learned it is a shirt for a musical group with this name

A sad loss of this special lady.

Valentine Special Edition

 Did You Know

About 192 million people Valentine's Day cards are exchanged each year.  That is the largest seasonal card-sending occasion of the year next to Christmas.

73% of people who buy flowers on Valentine's Day are men, while only 27% are women.

Alexander Graham Bell applied for his patent on the telephone, an "Improvement in Telegraphy", on Valentine's Day, 1876.

The first Valentine's box of chocolates was introduced by Richard Cadbury in 1868.

Approximately 110 million roses, the majority red, will be sold and delivered within a 3 day period for Valentine's Day.

Ester Howland was the first American to make commercial Valentine's cards out of scraps of ribbon, lace and pictures.

  

 Since it is Valentine's Day, make sure your love does not fade for someone special.

 

Vintage Thingie Thursday

Another exciting vintage day with Coloradolady and friends. Check out what each one is sharing at http://coloradolady.blogspot.com

A very nice vintage sewing display that a seamstress might enjoy.

A 1950 Vintage Red Goose advertising shoe sign.  Wish I had one of these.  Looked them up and it is unbelievable what the asking price was.

This special lady and I came from the same depression time frame, just traveled down different paths of life.  I always admired her. Another of the good ones gone.

Blue Monday

Sally smiles when you share pretty blues on Monday.  Would be nice flying into blue skies if the the air fares were not too high.  Regardless of how you visit her, be sure to stop by http://smilingsally.blogspot.com
