 Happy Pink Saturday!!!    I am so happy that you popped in!!!  My Pink post follows this anouncement:

This weekend I am joining Beverly at     http://howsweetthesound.typepad.com/my_weblog/
and Kelee at        http://www.katillacshack.com/
for the much anticipated Pink Saturday and Miracle Makeover Party Video Reveal.


    This amazing true life story is about a young woman named Colette Gautier who was diagnosed with breast cancer and was given only a  5-15% chance for survival from this horrible disease.  She is a single mom living in a small rental house and is facing the hardship and trials of chemotherapy. She was going to have to endure the side effects of the cancer-killing drugs while languishing in a dreary dilapidated old bedroom with only austere, depressing outdated wallcoverings, curtains and furnishings.  Thanks to the brilliant design ideas of Kelee Katillac and funds provided by Guideposts at    http://www.guideposts.org/
Colette's bedroom has received an awe inspiring, restful and whole "body-mind-spirit" magical healing transformation. Please go now and view the transformation video at

You will laugh, you will cry, you will PRAISE GOD and all of his wonderful MIRACLE WORKERS  and your life will be transformed knowing that MIRACLES DO HAPPEN!!

                                                           My Pink Post..............
                                                       August 27th 1983-2010
                                              Happy 27th Anniversary to Timothy and Me!!

                                         I was going to scan pics of our wedding but our scanner has given                                                     up the ghost.  BAD SCANNER!!!
                                   Instead I am featuring more pics of my depression glass collection.

I have had these pieces for more than twenty years.  I rearranged my display on the porch buffet and used pedestal cake plates to elevate the collection.

(You can right click to enlarge the picture and then zoom-in for a closer look on all my pictures)

Everything sparkled with a rosy hue when the afternoon sun shone in through the windows.

I picked up this collection of sherbet dishes and underplates just a few weeks ago. The glass is very delicate and etched with a cornflower and leaves. One sherbet design is more elaborate than the other and the glass is a tiny bit thicker and darker.

This is a small bit of the green depression glass.

The buffet and glass by canlde light.

I wish you could drop in to see it in person!!

Hubby and I are taking off for the day and have made reservations at our favorite restaurant in Belleville, Ontario. It is called "L'Auberge du France" and serve excellent French cuisine. I am looking forward to escargot and lamb, lots of garlic and their wonderful rose wine!!!

Happy Pink Saturday my Lovelies!!

Warm hugs, Laura
