Think Spring Pinks


We have finally had a couple of days of spring like weather
and my spirit is soaring.
So ...



Here are some pink pretties to help your spirit soar too!



Mom and I took these pics at her house yesterday.



I think that she did a great job arranging the carnations
don't you?

Have a wonderful weekend and be sure to visit
these parties I am joining

and

Bentley ~ let's paint the vintage lawn chairs that
your Daddy found on a dumpster dive!

Love,
Susan and Bentley

    Yes, she arranged those lovely pink carnation beautifully. In fact, I so love this picture. Would love to see more of it. Is that a small table the flowers are on? I was in Pier 1 today, I so love white wrough iron in very victorian styles. I have wicker, which I love too. So when I saw what appears to be the white table top I am so wishing we could see more. Your mom did an awesome job. Happy PS

    HI Susan,

    We are finally getting nice weather here too, the winter was waaaayyyy to long for my taste :) I love Spring, bring it on! And those pictures sure are gorgeous, thanks for bringing some more Spring into my day!

    I just saw that site you were talking about, I'd never heard about it, but how neat!! You have a gorgeous collection of pictures and thank you for featuring my little Summer Rose, that meant so much to me! It's neat to see her against the big girls :) I really like that site, your collection reminds me of thumbing through a beautiful magazine of all my favorite rooms!!
    Great job sweetie!

    Hope you enjoy your good weather and have a great rest of your weekend! Hugs, Cyn xox
