Pink Saturday in muggy AZ

I'm joining Beverly at How Sweet the Sound for Pink Saturday.  I haven't participated in eons but I found some "pinks" that I wanted to share.   My "pinks" for today sort of follow a doll theme so here we go...............

My first pink is of my granddaughter, Lillian, after her dance recital.  She loves pink so she received a dozen pink roses for her Tiny Tots performance.  She had pink tights and a lot of pink material mixed in with the green on her tutu.

 Another doll......    A Madame Alexander with unbuttoned shoes!  I think that her dress is adorable.

This little doll has a darling pinafore over a pink dress.  She has a very pretty face.


Some pinks in a spare bedroom.  The cupcake was a gift.

Adorable doll stroller with pink lining and a pink Sunbonnet Sue doll quilt.  I had the Gerber baby doll and found everything else at a sale from Craig's List!!!!!

These flowers are so pretty and delicate-looking.  I found this today at an early morning yard sale.  Not bad for a $1.00

Visit Beverly's blog for more eye-popping pinks.  Enjoy your weekend.

Wreath

Several months ago I was at a Goodwill store in Tucson and I found a BIG, nice, plain green wreath sitting on a shelf and it was marked down to $3.99! I passed it a few times while looking at other things but I kept going back to it for some odd reason.  I finally decided to buy the wreath and haul it to my house in Chandler.  This monstrous wreath sat on a bed in a spare room for months until I realized that I really needed to do something with it. 

 
Several days after Christmas I walked into Michael's fully expecting all the Christmas decor to be gone but it wasn't!  I found this gigantic bow for $2.00 and knew that the wreath was big enough to accommodate its size so I purchased it with high hopes of adding Christmas ornaments to the bow and wreath.  However, after putting on several ornaments, I decided that I didn't like the look.
 

So back to Michael's to look for "things" that I could add to this monstrous wreath!  I found some pieces to fill in the wreath while keeping with colors that were variations of the pink bow.  So while my husband watched the 500 football games on New Year's Day,  I played with the "things" and decorated the wreath.  I'll leave it up all year because it's too big to store anywhere!  I'm going to put different themed wreaths on each door and leave them up as reminders of the various things happening in each month.  My next project...a Valentine wreath followed by Easter followed by......you get the idea!
