Roses and Magnolias for Pink Saturday

It's that magical day again...where everything changes to warm sweet shades of pink....there are many shades..from the palest tint..to the deepest rose, and they are all beautiful. Come join in the fun, post something pink and let Beverly know..and then scamper about visiting and admiring all the beautiful things you'll see. Click on HowSweetTheSound  to see a list of all the participants..Happy Pinks !!
All this was either scanned in..or photographed before my fall. I was thinking really hard about what I could do for Pink Saturday..and so the little Rosebud Faerie said to me... be still..and imagine being in the forest with me. We will run and laugh and play, and where you fell won't hurt....We'll look at bugs and beetles and ladybugs..we'll fly thru the forest on gossamer wings. We'll have tea parties with chipmunks and squirrels, the birds will make cupcakes and the elves will add the magic sprinkles. We'll fly to the tops of the trees,we'll play deep in the flower petals..we'll giggle and laugh. We'll sit on lilypads and watch tadpoles and baby fish, we'll play music on blades of grass and the dewdrops will sing. So close your eyes CC and imagine....magical clouds of wispy pink, dewdrops on rosebuds, a world thru rose colored glasses if you will for awhile...anything at all to bring you a smile.
Leave your rose colored glasses on for awhile....it's nice for a change, don't you think????? Happy Pinks to you all......

  2. Thanks for the cute story. It looks like you have a long time to heal, your in my prayers. One good thing is you like to do crafts so you have somethings creative to do to pass your time. I fell last summer and my my face got the worse of it. What a mess it was for about a month. Not wanting to go out with a bruised face I stayed home read, stitched and did other crafts. Take care.

  5. CC, I'm so sorry you've had a fall. It must be contagious because I did, too! I'm hobbling about on Pink Saturday as well. We can just hobble together! :-) Love your post. Lovely flowers, and we can scamper in our imaginations. That's always fun, isn't it?

    Happy Pink Saturday...

    XO,

  13. What a beautiful post, CC!! Yes, I would love to keep my rose colored glasses on, but I may have to take them off, just for a bit, while I get some dishes done! I don't want to splatter anything yucky on them!.. Hope you are feeling better, at least even a little bit!.. Keeping you in my prayers! ((hugs)) ~tina

  14. With a fall like that, I'm so pleased to read your rose-tinted spectacles have not slipped. Under the circumstances, you'd have been within your rights to feel a little BLUE! I just so admire you for even making the effort to participate in PS this week, and visit - sitting must be so painful.

    Have a wonderful Pink Saturday, and virtual hugs and kisses are winging their way to you.

  28. Happy Pink Saturday on Sunday evening - thanks for your visit to my blog and taking the time to leave a comment. I think magnolias are by far the most beautiful flower and the fragrance is like smelling sugared lemons. Have a wonderful new week.

  31. The petals on your magnolias are so white and so neat like it was ironed! :-) We had a member in our church that when her magnolias bloom, she always bring some and gives us. It smells so yummy!

    I think I like what the fairies are whispering to you. It sounds like it will be a fun-filled day.

    I hope all will be well.

  34. Hello I'm still making my Pink Saturday visits.
    Thank you so much for stopping by and leaving a sweet comment. Love your post this week. So sorry you fell. Hope you feel good as new soon! We have a magnolia tree and it has never bloomed. Hopefully next year it will. Does not look like it will this year.
    I love your cute little vintage patterns. I might try and do them in redwork embroidery. Thank you so much for putting a link to my charity blog on yours. So sweet of you.
