Pretty pinks today

Today I just had to do a pink post.
DD had got up early to do some baking to take on a Picnic, she was having with some of her friends at Mission Bay park.
I have to say these cupcakes tasted even better, than they looked.

Fabulous flowers, by Martha Stewart

Pretty pink clematis, and such a lovely room ~ Jeanne d'Arc

Do you find sometimes, when you are wondering what you are going to post for the day ..... and
something will come about and you need to share.

Kind words are short and easy to speak,
but their echoes are truly endless.
~ Mother Teresa.

I will bid you adieu and I wish you all a wonderful weekend.

Hugs
Carolyn

  5. Hi Carolyn, Your post is the first I'm reading this morning and it makes me smile. Your daughter's cupcakes look so pretty! It's even better that they taste so wonderful. She must have gotten your talent! Martha Stewart's bouquet of flowers is just after my taste. She had chosen some of my favorite flowers and I love that soft and romantic look. Thank you for starting my day with those pretty pinks :-)!
    Have a wonderful weekend!
    Hugs,
    Julia

  11. Yes girl, when I sit and write a post, it feels like all of you are sitting here sipping on tea with me...it just flows.
    I love those flowers from Martha Stewart. I wish I knew the name of those roses? that look like fluffy balls...they are my favorite!!!
    And those cupcakes??? Well, I think I just gained about 1000 calories looking at them~
    ;)
    everything vintage

  13. Carolyn,

    Those cupcakes look yummy! I have been in the mood for pink lately myself. I actually did some vignettes around the house in pink a few days ago. The quote from Mother Teresa is wonderful and so true!

    Blessings,

    Kim

  14. Very pretty cupcakes! I have been writing down quotes and I love this one. Hope you are enjoying your wedding anniversary celebrations! Happy weekend! ♥

  15. I must make cupcakes or sugar cookies soon. Bought some lovely colored sugars at Dean & DeLuca for just that purpose. I couldn't even think what to post today so took a tour around our area to find some blooms. Believe me, sometimes you just gotta seek beauty -- there are no litter laws in Kuwait, one of my biggest pet peeves. But I have to look for the positive in every day. Blessings, Tammy

  16. Hi Marsha,

    Thank you for your visit.
    Purple clematis would be beautiful.

    Thank you Lisa and wishing you a wonderful weekend.

    Hi Jessica,

    They were gorgeous and pink is always such a pretty colour.

    I would love to share them Deanna and if you are ever over here, come for coffee and tea.

    thank you Julia, the pretty flowers of Martha's are my favourite flowers too.
    Have a happy weekend.

    Thank you Martha, you are always a blessing in my life.

    Many thanks Sares and you have a wonderful weekend.

    Thank you for your visit Dolores.

    Always great to have a visit from you Susan and the quote is so good and so true.

    Thank you Denise and wishing you a lovely weekend too.

    Many thanks Doreen and I love your sweet elephant Avatar.

    You are so funny Jodie, glad we don't gain weight by looking at food. I would be huge as I love looking at Cook books.

    Thank you Jo and I hope that you are having a great weekend.

    Kim, the quote is wonderful and she had so many other great words of advice and wisdom.

    Thank you Diane and I have enjoyed seeing your beach photos.
    I have written down quotes in a journal and lovely to look back on.

    Thanks for your visit Tammy and I look forward to coming over to see the blooms around your City.
    A treat to come and visit everyone and see what delightful things you have to share.

    Hugs

  20. Pink is such a lovely color- do we like it because it is so feminine?

    Wish I could share the pink cupcakes! Especially if they tasted even better than they looked- and I think they looked delicious.

    Mother Teresa's quote is so true. We must remember them as we go about our daily lives. It's so simple to bring pleasure to someone- just like you do with this wonderful post!

    Have a lovely weekend, Carolyn.
