Happy Pink Saturday

Hello Pinkies,

I'm back from our last weekend hunt.  We did find a shop but unfortunately no great deals were to be had.   Oh well.  We enjoyed our time together anyway.  I did find a little article in Woman's World Magazine,  that made me smile.  It was titled "Send anxiety packing with pink".  By simply slipping into pink, 100% of the participants in the study, felt more relaxed in just five minutes!  Credit went to the hue's ability to turn on the pleasure center of the brain, relaxing muscles and even instilling confidence!"  Well of course.  All of us knew that.  Just look at all the happy relaxed pink posts at:

My dear MIL has given me much of her silver serving pieces to add to my own collection.  I'm happy she knows I will cherish them, and remember all the family dinners she prepared us.  We were treated to her great cooking and entertaining often.  Thanks Mom.

Her gift inspired me to set up the dining room.  I love mixing pink with different colors.  Silver pink and black.  Let's give that a try.

I hope you like my combination.

And I hope you enjoy My Pink Pretties.
























This was at the bottom of an auction box.  Does anyone know how to use it?  Not sure it goes together. 
This is what I did.



If you have the time, I appreciate your comments.

Hope & Hugs to all

    oh yes I do love your color combinations AND your beautiful table.
    Looks like that piece was meant to form a crown very similar to how you have it.

    Your table is so dressy because of your family silverware! Thank you for stopping by StoneGable.

    That was a very nice gesture on your MIL. Silverwear is a real treasure. You did a nice feature on your pinks.

    What a lovely and elegant dining room! Your memories and your treasures make for the perfect environment. Okay, I have to ask, is that a bra on the statue with the flowers on her head? I couldn't help but smile. Have a wonderful weekend! Hugs, Terri

    I was browsing randomly and came by this post - the black and pink table is awesome. Those dolls looking up, all dressed in soft-to-touch black... just lovely. (I was by for 12/10's Pink Sat. Thanks, Jenn
