PINK SATURDAY: STILL LOVING IT!!

I have signed on to another Pink Saturday hosted by Beverly at How Sweet The Sound. Please be sure to visit her and see all the participants that just love Pink. Then visit them and get to know a great bunch of gals and maybe a few new blogger friends.
If you know me at all, I am not doing very well with this Pink Saturday thing. Don't get me wrong, I love pink, I love looking at every ones Pink and I think Beverly does a great job hosting this special day. I am not however, very good at finding Pink to share and it amazes me because I have always considered myself a girly girl (maybe I should post pics of all my make-up and perfume and clothes)!! I think we all evolve in our decorating tastes. I know I personally started with country (a lot of blue and white, gingham and ducks and later evolved to Victorian style; darker floral wallpaper, frosted glass wall sconces and lots of lace. Then it was Shabby Chic which turned into French Country and now I'm leaning toward Farmhouse Rustico (a name I saw on a shop in Naples) that sort of represents a more simple and pared down style to me.
Without further ado, I will move on to some pink I have in my home, some things I love and will probably never part with. Above is a pink glass vase. I love the heart shape, very romantic and feminine, I use this vase particularly in my bedroom, as shown in the garden window, or in a bathroom (odd places for flowers but very pretty). The glass has a raised flower pattern on it that is not showing up well in the photo. I love carnations, they last sooo long! :-)

This is a jar that I bought the same day as the vase at a small gift shop here in Chicago. This is in the first bath. It's actually quite larger than it appears in this photo, the opening about 5 inches in diameter. I keep cotton balls in it now but there are a multitude of uses for it.

This is a closer view of the lid. It has raised flowers as does the vase but the two pieces are actually different shades of pink.

This is a little toiletry basket I keep in the same bath. I have all sorts of lotions and body butters (yum) and pretty soaps. Very feminine which is fine since the females in the house outnumber the male(s). ;-) A quick funny story: When we were going on a vacation once, Abigail was about nine years old and I was dictating a list of small things we needed to pack; toothbrushes, combs, etc. She was writing out the list. Later I looked it over and saw "toilet trees" and scratched my head. Then "ohhhh, ahhhh, ha ha ha" :-))

And here is my little bad speller, all grown up but still loving her after school naps on my bed with Layla. I don't know who enjoys the naps most!! She is sleeping with her favorite pink blanket that would probably fall apart if I washed it, which... I am not allowed to do.

Happy Pink Saturday to all of you!!
