Pretty pink for Saturday


Thank you for visiting me last time and for the offer some of your gave, with sending over the rain you have been having.
We have still not had any and it is sweltering hot here.
As I walked past this pretty David Austin rose, it gave off the most beautiful fragrance so just had to share with you.
Mary Ruffle

I feel like one of these to keep cool and may go for a swim in the sea later.
I hope that you are having a great weekend and want to say thank you for your friendship and I look forward to coming to visit you all soon.

Hugs
Carolyn

  3. We had a few days break here in "sunny" California, but now the rain is back. I do wish we could share some with you! The rose is really lovely--I am really missing mine about now. Have a beautiful weekend.

  4. Hi Stefani,

    We have just been for a drive and I got a yummy tropical fruju iceblock which cooled me down.

    Hi Marsha,

    That is one of my favourites, mint and chocolate chip ~ yummy!

    Thank you so much Jermaine and I hope that you are having a splendid weekend.

    Hugs

  5. Too much rain in South Africa and when it isn't raining it is too hot. Enough now! My sympathies are with you Carolyn.

  6. That was so lovely about the rose...it's the simple things isn't it.

    Mmmm I could go for one of those icecreams too, lucky you being near the sea.

    Enjoy your Sunday,

  8. Hi Carolyn;

    just sent an e-mail to you about post issue at PAPERGIRL. Just in case you don't get it can you please click this link and let me know if this is the page you saw:http://the-papergirl.blogspot.com/2010/01/outside-box-moonwalk-ii.html ...If not you probably clicked the image, but if so I have some issue to resolve.

    Happy Pink Saturdy by the way... Of course you know "Roses" are my favorite flower -- lovely.

    blessings,
    Rosalind

  10. Hi Carolyn:

    I fixed the problem... This template does not jog exactly with Blogger, little bugs do pop up, but it is just figuring away round them. So I just took away the word verification, and now the comment page is working fine... selecting any other way to post made this tiny funny little box... just one of the bugs. But worth it for me to have this simple format I desire.

    Thanks for drawing my attention to the problem.

    have a great day!
    Rosalind

  12. Any rain YET Carolyn??? My gosh girl, I hope ya'll are not turning into weeds soon. If only we could give you some of this rain that we've been having. We are having a cold wet winter so far.
    Hope you get some of the wet stuff soon~
    everything vintage

    ps...that ice cream cone sure does look good even though it's 40 degrees here! ;)

  14. Happy Pink Saturday, It's more snow here today, so that ice cream cone isn't needed, but it still looks realy yummy.

  17. Hi: Your rose is beautiful. It is not rose season for us. I miss them. I want to thank you for praying for me. You are a dear friend. Blessings, Martha

  18. That rose is so plump and gorgeous! We had a dreary gray day here so I was happy to stay indoors. The wind has kicked up and it has gotten colder. We really haven't had a winter yet. Will be a shock to everyone if it comes now, but you just never know what tomorrow will bring. Doing a little rain dance for you. Hope you enjoyed the swim. Blessings, Tammy

  20. Thanks for visiting Pat and we would so love to have some of your rain.
    It is hot hot hot, over here!

    thank you Dustjacket and I hope that you are having a wonderful weekend.

    Many thanks Jeanne, pink is one of my favourite colours also.

    Hi Rosalind,

    Have just sent you a message and have noticed that you have fixed the problem ~ I love the new pink paper you have made.

    Thank you Fe, for visiting and your sweet words.

    Many thanks Miss Eve and I hope that you are having a wonderful weekend too.

    Hi Jodie,

    Still no rain and it does not look like we are in for any yet.
    I think we will need to go for a swim in the sea to cool down.

    Hi Kim,

    Aren't they just the best and the part that I also love is that they actually have a beautiful fragrance, which a lot of the new varieties don't have.

    Hi TattingChic,

    It does look yummy doesn't it!

    Happy pink Saturday to you Karen and do stay warm with the snow about.

    Thank you very much Mary for your visit.

    Hi Maryanne,

    The David Austin old fashioned roses have such lush petals and plenty of them and I can see why you thought they may have been a camellia. Many thanks for your visit.

    Thank you Martha and I really hope that everything will be fine with you. Blessings to you, dear friend.

    Many thanks Tammy and I think sometimes on the dreary gray days it is so good to get some crafty things done.

    Happy pink Saturday Lisa.

    Hugs
    Carolyn

  25. Hi Carolyn,
    You must live in the only place in the country that is hot. It's freezing everywhere else.
    I love the pink flowers, so pretty.
    And I'll take that ice cream cone anytime!

    Happy Pink Saturday.

  27. I definitely envy your hot weather! It's not as cold as other places at the moment, but unfortunately it has been raining all weekend here... sigh...

    Gorgeous flowers and despite the colder climate, I can always do with an ice-cream ;-)

    Hope you've had a wonderful weekend!

  28. thank you Suzi for your visit.
    I think that they are my favourite rose too, as they are so big and have so many petals to each flower.
    Maybe we might get some of your rain, I hope and you can have our sun.
    Have a great week.

    Hi Sissie,

    Watching the news I can't believe the snow that you are having in some parts there - cars were buried.
    Do stay warm and I hope that Spring will be there soon.

    Blessings to you Gwendonlyn and I just adore your pretty pink Avatar rose, that is the softest pink.

    Hi Haute World,

    thanks for your visit and glad that it is not as cold where you are, as in other places.
    I agree, anytime is right for having an icecream.
    Have a great week

    Hugs
