Welcome to Pink Saturday hosted by Beverly at How Sweet the Sound.
One of the blessings of living in Southern California is that roses are still blooming in the winter. I took this photo on one of my walks with Willow in Southern California in January.
This next collage is a tease. I bought some thrift store items this week that I’m going to use for a completely different purpose than they were intended for. I will show you in the future what that purpose was and how I used them. Dear and I are off for an overnight getaway to Pismo Beach, California tomorrow and I hope to find some pink to post for next week and a “show and tell” on what I do with these purchases. Have a wonderful Pink Saturday everyone.
To see more Pink visit Beverly at How Sweet the Sound!
Photobucket is holding all my photos from 2007 to 2015 hostage and has replaced them all with ugly black and grey boxes asking for a ransom to have them re-published. Such a frustrating bother as I go through each post to delete the ugly boxes.

What a joy to live in a place that roses bloom all the time and look so pretty. Best wishes for your day with your hubby.
Happy PS

You’ve got my curiosity peeked. Iwonder what you’re going to do with those purchases? Lucky you having roses blooming.
i’m jealous, to be able to enjoy those pink beauties right now (all we have is COLD and FOG!)
Happy Pink Saturday! Gorgeous rose..and of course I love the dishes!
Have a good weekend!
Fantastic rose. I like the pink bling for a napkin ring. Happy Pink Saturday.
GLORY, that is a vivid pink. It will be fun to see what is in the works.
In this world of white, I am getting my colour fix! That teacup and saucer is beautiful!
How exquisite! Happy pink Saturday 🙂

Happy Pink Saturday, Ellen. I hope you are having a wonderful time.
That rose bloom is exquisite, and I can hardly wait to see what you did with all of these scrumptious goodies.
Oh I would be in heaven if my roses were to bloom in January….I love your finds & cannot wait to see what you’re going to do with them.
I’m going to have to plant some roses like that one in my garden this spring. Can’t wait to see what you do with those goodies in the collage!
The flower is a great shade of pink. I love the tea cup, too! I recognize the napkin rings from your description 🙂
I actually have some roses blooming because it’s been so warm this week! I have to get out there and prune!
I’ll be waiting to see what you do with these new treasures, you tease.
Hope Pismo Beach is full of photo opps.
Tim Bog is our overnight guest this weekend, as he has a training clinic in Sacramento. It is good to see him.
Happy weekend.

Beautiful, lush bloom…hard to believe anything can bloom anywhere when you live in the midwest in January!
What a stunning combination of pink and green–my two favorite colors.

love that vibrant pink rose!!
The flower is absolutely gorgeous!! You got such an awesome picture of it. Have a wonderful time in Pismo. That should be a fun trip for you two. Now you have me curious as to what you are planning to do with the teacup. Hmmm……now you are the one teasing.
I’m looking forward to your thrift store creation!!! That rose is so gorgeous—we won’t be seeing any of those outdoor beauties for months!
Happy b. day to your boy—what an exciting time you had when HE arrived!
I loved your Fab 5 photos–I must try to remember to take part in that!
I copied your Gr. Salad recipe—can hardly wait to taste it.
Happy Pink Sat! Dana
