Shades of pink

Hello dear friends

Days have been busy here and I have been making the most of the sunny days, gardening and staining some outdoor steps and fence.

My rose continues to bloom and just want to share a little of this beauty with you. I adore the pretty pastel pink, the scent and the shape of the rose
We still have not had rain to speak of, had a small drizzly shower one day and would be happy to get some much needed rainfall.

The beautiful card was created by Dorthe,  isn't it lovely and sweet and many thanks for your kindness

The rose looks pretty when it is dried - against the backdrop of my calender, with pictures from around France - the little window with shutters is charming

Hope you are having a happy week.
Enjoy life, stay warm if you still have winter there and for those of us having a long hot summer, stay cool.
I look forward to coming over to say hello soon.

hugs
Carolyn

Pretty in pink

Just popping in to wish you all a happy weekend

Would like to show off my sweet little Cecil Brunner rose again and I wish you could smell the gorgeous fragrance.
It is a prolific grower and already, it has reached to the top of the  obelisk that I have it growing up.

Every year the Sky Tower glows pink for the entire month of October, in support of Breast Cancer Awareness- I had intended doing this post back then but sometimes life has a way of changing things 

DD dressed as Catwoman at an event she went to recently and had her photo taken with Jenna Coleman, Clara from Doctor Who 
 In her high boots she looked tall alongside Clara, who our daughter said was really lovely.

I hope your weekend is full of things that make you happy

In the Pink

Do you love the colour pink?

It is always so feminine and pretty and when I saw this wonderful collection of images from the Chanel collection, I wanted to share with you.

Karl Lagerfeld created a huge supermarket to show his fall collection at Paris Fashion week. I thought it was a fun idea

Life is beautiful

Well hello dear friends.
Just a quick post today 

I adore flowers and every time I see a pretty bouquet when I am buying groceries, I like to put some in my basket to take home. These were the sweetest baby pink,  it has to be one of my favourite colours.

Doing the dishes with these pretty dish mops, suddenly got a lot nicer


Big weekend here ... have a friends 50th birthday to go to.
I appreciate all of you, who visit me along the way of blogging and a big thank you to all.

Life is beautiful

Have a beautiful weekend

Think Pink

 

Hello friends, 

Today I snapped some pictures of a few pretty pinks around the house. 

We have Labour weekend coming up and a long weekend, so looking forward to that but I hope that the rainy days we have been having, will end. 

 I love vintage ribbon and they just look and feel better than the

ones we buy today.

It is October and time to think Pink with Breast Cancer Awareness month.

We need to be reminded of the importance, of going to have a mammogram.
I do hope that they will have a cure for this pernicious disease soon.

Hope all is well dear friends and enjoy the rest of the week

Hugs

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.

A few favourite pink things.

Country & Living







It is raining over here today, so I thought I needed a fix of some pretty pink pictures to brighten up things.
I wonder what your favourite colour is?

It is so hard to believe that we are now in the Month of May, how the days go by so quickly!

I hope that you are having a great weekend.

Hugs
Carolyn
