All in pink today

I have this pretty pink hydrangea growing in my garden and may it brighten your day, to those that do not have a lot of colour in your garden this time of the year.
I was very lucky to win this giveaway from my lovely friend Celestina Marie of larearose.blogspot.com


Celestina Marie, is so very talented and I was thrilled to receive all these gorgeous pretty pink gifts. I look forward to next Christmas time when I will be able to decorate the tree and house. I will treasure these forever.



Visit her blog and see her exquisite work     




























I also got this pretty teacup, with roses and lovely, Peace on Earth card for Christmas, from my sweet friend Michelle of theraspberryrabbits.com. She also, is very talented and has the sweetest bunnies, Harrington and Hannah, so please go over and visit her and say hello.

To all the lovely people who follow my blog and leave a comment, thank you very much.
Wishing you all a wonderful, happy and peaceful weekend
Hugs
Carolyn

  3. Dearest Carolyn,

    There could not have been a nicer person for winning these lovely pieces! You do know that Celestina Marie did create Christmas ornaments for the White House Blue Room in 1998 and 2004? On my sidebar I have a button about it... You should check that out. She is a very sweet lady and very talented. We're all fortunate for having met her here in blogland!
    Enjoy your winnings and have a great weekend. Your pink hydrangea is a fabulous color, we don't have that one yet. Enjoy it for us.

    Love to you,

    Mariette

  24. What a gorgeous hydrangea! Mine all turned brown and brittle so I chopped them all off (I hope it was "pruning"!). Still waiting for them to come back again. But mine are not that wonderful bright pink - how cheery yours is!

    Enjoy your sweet winnings too!
