A young Grace Kelly ~ Isn't she glamorous and I just love the setting of this romantic photo.
Princess Grace's immaculate dress sense and classic features were what the world had come to expect of true royalty. She had a short but meteoric Hollywood career, which led to her romantic wedding.
She had a whirling social life as she adapted readily to her new royal role and showed how perfectly she combined it with her predilection for good works and charitable causes.
A tragedy brought the life of the admired Princess to an untimely end when she died in a car crash in September 1982.
Look what I got from the sweet Jessica at Kids Napping I'm scrapping.
This gift was from a game ~ Play it Forward, that we played a while back.
It was so lovely to get a package in the mail and something that was not a brown envelope with a bill.
I will show you what she sent me ~ a pretty collage box, with vintage sheet music and pretty roses and then it was edged with a trim of pearls.
Inside the box a lovely candle decorated with pretty vintage music, organdy ribbon and a pink charm. she also added some vintage trims on a gorgeous smelling tag with a tea kettle charm.
Thank you very much Jessica ~ I love my gifts and it is wonderful to have something from my talented friend.
I hope that you are having a fabulous weekend
Hugs

Hi Carolyn...Oh, I am like you...such an admirer of Grace Kelly. She was so lovely...she just carried herself with such poise and "grace". I don't think her husband ever got over her death. Such a sad ending.
ReplyDeleteThank-you so much for visiting. Hope you are keeping well. Always love visiting you. Your posts are always so pretty and informative!
Hugs, Nancy
Those are lovely pink things! Grace Kelly sure was a beauty both older and younger, wasn't she?
ReplyDeleteYou are so lucky to have gotten some fabulous gifts from Jessica! She is such a talented gal! Those are pretty! :)
What a very nice Pink Saturday post! :)
Hi Nancy,
ReplyDeleteLovely to have you visit.
Yes, Grace Kelly was a beautiful Lady
I have a book about her life and the photo of the grief at the funeral of Prince Rainer and the children is just so sad. As you say he probably never got over her death.
Hi TattingChic,
Yes, she was a beauty when young and as an older Woman.
I was lucky, to get a fabulous gift from the talented and lovely Jessica.

Carolyn

I was allowed to stay up and watch the wedding of Grace Kelly to Prince Ranier on TV when I was little, back in the 50's. Such a beautiful lady and such a dashing prince. It was like a fairytale.
ReplyDeleteOur whole family crowded round a 9 inch black and white TV to watch.
Such a tragedy when Princess Grace died.
Hi Sherri,
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for visiting my blog. It is always lovely to find a new blog and friend and I am glad that I have found yours.

Hi Lynda,
ReplyDeleteThat is so lovely and must have been a fairytale wedding to watch.
Princess Caroline was born about the same year I was.
I have a lovely book about the family
and was such a tragedy when she died.
In a way was like Princess Diana's her life was cut short, way before her time.

Carolyn
Hi Carolyn:
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love that photo of Grace Kelly -- as much of an old hollywood buff that I am -- I have never seen it. She was indeed royalty -- on both sides of the ocean. Thanks for sharing a pink Saturday with us.
Also love the Hepburn pic and quote. I have that same quote in my quote journal -- it's one of my favorites! Seeing it with the photo.... is powerful. Especially as we know she lived that which she preached.
Happy Sunday!
Blesssings,
Rosalind
PS: Was wondering how you add those tag lines at bottom of your articles... You may also enjoy other post... (as far as I can tell just must take a lot of planning with the blogspot system). If there is an easier way than I can see, can you please e-mail directions to me: rosalindnichol@gmail.com. Thanks much!
Carolyn, what a lovely post. I too loved Grace Kelly, it was like a fairytale when she married Prince Ranier.
ReplyDeleteAt least they are now together again.

Hi there Carolyn, I hope you had a fabulous weekend. Grace Kelly was my all time favourite and I followed the stories of her daughters for a long, long time. Ladies like Grace are few and far between.

Renee, that would be fun a tea kettle necklace to wear to the Mad Hatter tea party.
Hi Marsha,
Grace was a beautiful Lady and they just seemed to be so much more elegant and had poise and grace,back in those days.

I love Grace Kelly! :) But Princess Diana was my icon...but Audrey Hepburn is more of an icon to me...Elizabeth Taylor, as well... but Audrey Hepburn much. :) I think a lot of people say they iconize Hepburn, without knowing anything about her...I don't jump into the bandwagon...I do know everything about her!!! :) hee hee... just a little chit chat there for you... :)
ReplyDeleteHi Charity,
ReplyDeleteSo many stylish Ladies that we can look up to.
I agree Princess Diana was always someone who we loved, she was so lovely with people and very stylish.
I loved her clothes.
Hugs
Carolyn
I always liked Grace Kelly, she seemed to be so classy, but have such a great sense of humor. That swap looks like a fun idea. You got some pretty things. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteCarolyn--Thanks for stopping by. I just loved seeing this picture of Grace Kelly. I always thought she was so apprpriately named. I don't think you see this kind of class in Hollywood very often these days!
ReplyDeleteHi Sares,
ReplyDeleteI did get some pretty things from Jessica and it was fun.
Hi Susan,
Thanks for visiting ~ Grace was a very appropriate name for her.
She did have such poise and grace.

Your gifts from Jessica, so pretty!
ReplyDeleteYour words about Princess Grace....what a classy lady she was. I was saddened by her early and untimely demise. The world lost a true lady.
I also thought she had a lovely speaking voice in her films, very feminine and melodious.
Hi Lavinia,
ReplyDeleteI was very lucky to get the beautiful gift from Jessica.
Princess Grace was a true Lady.
