Pink Saturday!

Welcome to another PINK Saturday hosted by Beverly at How Sweet the Sound!

I love magazine covers and Vogue, who has done them so well, has shown us over the years all that is fabulous in the world of couture! Today we are going to take a look at how pretty in pink Vogue has been and what was fabulous enough to make the front cover!

Fashionable Friday!

Dearest Readers:

Welcome to another Fashionable Friday! My BFF Fifi Flowers is the lovely hostess of this grand event! Please visit her to see what else is going on today...however I assure you, this is the only place to be...other than her place...and maybe a few other places...really! Anywoo...


I have once again taken to the blogging world as I had such positive feedback after my first appearance here and so many have contacted me asking when I will be back. I thought to do this on an annual basis but it seemed so selfish to keep myself away so I have returned. Thank you all for all your kind, thoughtful and true comments and compliments!

I bring to you today a little story about my friend, Violet. She received an invitation to one of my many garden parties. As she had never made the guest list before, she hastily called me to inquire as to the dress code of my event. I thought it an odd call as one should simply know what to wear to a garden party but I humored her and explained that one wears something that looks lovely in the garden! Oh my! My mistake. This is what she came up! I have also included a few of her other good ideas....

(These amazing works of art were created and captured by Nicole Dextras

Her photography is fabulous!

I am borrowing them for the sake of my story.)

Here is Violet dressed in her best garden party attire.

Imagine my horror, and amusement when

she arrived at my party in this!

She does actually look quite fabulous is a "natural" sort of way, doesn't she?

Her this her Sunday Best

Yes, this is her Yucca Prom Dress.

And her lovely Cabbage Smock.

Violet is looking divine or insane in her Hydrangea Tournure.

Really, who knew Violet would take me so literally and actually WEAR a garden. One does live and learn, doesn't one.? In the future I will be sure to make it clear not to actually wear the garden...although it does look so...flowery and lovely, doesn't it?!

Sincerely,

Petunia who has never worn anything she can actually snack on but is beginning to think it's a good idea! Sometimes those hor dourves people are so slow in getting around the room! And who thinks Violet should continue to watch "What Not TO Wear"!

Tablescape Thursday!

I love Springtime! Flowers fill the air with the smell of hope that all things that went to sleep will now wake up and shine in their glory. We are once again filled with that fabulous feeling Spring fever gives us that makes us want to be in love, want to go outside and play, want to shed off the layers of clothing that kept us warm, shed the thoughts that made our lives smaller when the sun disappeared too soon. In SoCal, it means eating outside again! And that is my favorite part of Spring. And so today, we will celebrate dining al fresco with a fabulous Tuscan picnic!

Welcome to our villa....

and welcome our lovely patio and view!

Grab a dish!Wonderful local food has been brought in for us to enjoy...
so please help yourselves!Bread, bread and more bread with a bit of cheese and olive oil is a meal created by the Gods!
And nothing goes better with them than a good glass of Italian red wine or...

a wonderfully refreshing Bellini! And after you have indulged in all the goodness, please feel free to curl up and enjoy a lovely Italian daydream!

Happy Spring and
Happy Tablescape Thursday!

For more lovely tables please visit

Outdoor Wednesday!

Life is busy for all of us.

We all need to remember to slow down and take a time

to stop and smell the roses....

whatever that means to you!

But you really ought to!

For more Outdoor Wednesday visit Susan!

One shoe can change your life!

My sister and I heard this story for the first time at Girl Scout camp. We have spent years giggling about it and still speak in terms of

drancy fess balls and slopped drippers.

I need a magical shoe to change my life right now.....

Enjoy your Monday.

Prinderella and the Cince

Tonce upon a wime there was a gretty little pirl named Prinderella.
Prinderella had two sisty uglers and a micked wedstutter, who made her flub the scoors, wean the clindows, pine the shots and shans, and do all the other wirty dirk.

Wasn't that a shirty dame?

One day the Ping issued a kroclamation that all geligible irls were invited to a Drancy Fess Ball. Prindella's two sisty uglers could go, but Prinderella couldn't go because she didn't have a drancy fess, only a rirty dag that fidn't dit.

Wasn't that a shirty dame?

All of a sudden, in the eyeling of a twink, Prinderella's gairy fodmother appeared, and turned the cumpkin into a poach, the hice into morses, and Prinderella's rirty dag into a drancy fess.

But she warned Prinderella that she must be home by the moke of stridnight.

Wasn't that a shirty dame?

Well, Prindella went to the Drancy Fess Ball, and she pranced all night with the Cince, and at the moke of stridnight she ran down the Stalace Peps.

But on the bottom Pep she slopped her dripper!

Wasn't that another shirty dame?

The next day the Ping issued another kroclamation that all geligible irls were to sly on the tripper. Prinderella's two sisty uglers slipped on the tripper but it fidn't dit. So Prinderella slied on the tripper, and it fid dit!

So Prinderella and the Cince were married and lived happily ever afterwards.

Nor that wasn't such a shirty dame, was it?

THE END

I need to find the FAB dripper that will make all my Lily dreams come true!

Pink Saturday!

Welcome to another PINK Saturday!

Our fabulous hostess is Beverly of How Sweet The Sound!

When I was a little girl I wanted to be a

Radio City Music Hall Rockette,

a Princess or a Social Worker.

I became one of those three dreams...

I did not become a Rockette...

And grace the famous stage of this NYC landmark...
I also did not become a Princess dressed in a pink clouds.... But, I have always been in love with a little tutu, as delicate as a pink rose...

A tutu can be so much more than a ballerina's costume....

It can dress up a chandelier....

Or the tiniest of baby girls....

Look lovely as a big pop of pink full of ribbons.

Which one would you pull off the rack?

It can dress up any daydream worthy boudoir....

And even a little bulldog!

It can look lovely on a humiliated kitty...kitties do not do dress up very well!

Mmmm...and then there is the pink that is as fabulous as a tutu that comes in a grow-up glass!

Shall we toast to PINK Saturday?

For more PINK fun visit Beverly!
