The phrase “in the pink” has had many meanings over the ages including the one we use today: in good health. For many bloggers, it has another meaning as well. It means it is Saturday and the blogging world turns PINK! For over a year, Beverly at How Sweet the Sound has been the hostess of Pink Saturday. Thousands show up at her party every week to play or to read what all her guests have contributed. Today, we all show up to wish her a Happy 1st Pink Blogging Party Birthday!
I LOVE painted Victorian houses. I think they look like fabulously decorated cakes. In honor of our party today, I bring you some of my favorites pink houses!
The Pink Lady: Across the street from the Carson Mansion in San Francisco stands the nearly-as-gaudy Milton J. Carson House, affectionately known as the Pink Lady. Built as a wedding gift for his son and daughter-in-law, the home was also designed by the Newsome Brothers and built in the 1880s.
FUN gingerbread details…
This little lady looks like she is dripping in pearls...
Edwin Bradford Hall, a prosperous pharmacist in the Wellsville, NY area, built this unique Italianate after seeing a house similar to it in Italy. The house has been pink ever since it was built, and it is still owned and used by Hall's descendents.
The pink tree is the perfect accessory!
This lovely lady can be found in Morrison, Ill.
Now that our house tour is over…
and the sky has turned a heavenly shade of pink at sunset…
let’s put on our party hats and head inside!
To Beverly’s fabulous PINK party!
Girls with pink hair were in shock and awe that one person would do so much for us every week….
while other girls danced in celebration!
A PINK cake is on every table!
And there is a bottle of PINK champagne for every guest!
Let us all raise our glass in a toast to Beverly, to one year of keeping us all in the PINK…
and to many more Saturdays exploding with PINK imagination!
Thank you, Beverly, for all your hard work every week and for all the fun! To see more PINK parties in her honor, go here!
