This week I am sharing my friend, Vicki's beautiful jewelry. I happen to own a few pieces and they are just lovely ... and I definitely have more necklaces on my wish list!
Vicki does not have a web site yet, but she is working on setting up an Etsy shop. In the mean time, you can view her Vicki O Jewelry designs here and also on her Facebook page. Most of her designs are priced in the $100 - $300 range.
They are truly exquisite!

Happy Pink Saturday to you all!
I apologize for not having more to share this week, but with my computer issues, it's been a tough week. I've been busy playing catch up on my orders. My tech was able to 'rescue' all my work files and reinstall them here on another home computer and he is currently working on my hard drive. I had photos for a Pink Saturday post saved for this week, but can not access them ... so maybe next week (they are Valentine's Day related, so the timing is good!).

Last week while on a walk, I found this beautiful pink flower on a bush in the park. It was just days after our big two weeks cold spell here in Florida and I was so surprised to see that this bush survive the frost. My yard and flowers certainly did not!
I actually have more lovely pink finds to post, but I am saving them for another post, so check back during the week. And, I will be announcing a giveaway too.

A very happy Pink Saturday to you all. I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas day - I certainly did. Having all my boys home is the best gift of all! But ... I was hoping for a little 'pink' too and I am happy to say that I did receive some fabulous, pinkalicious gifts!
From my boys - they like 'one stop' shopping and always shop on Christmas eve afternoon. B & C really liked shopping at Lilly since they were having a 'party' - serving appetizers and cocktails for all the last minute men shoppers! ...
{ Lilly Scarf }
{ Lilly PJ's }
{ Lilly Skirt }
I actually gifted myself with this pink iphone case. I have to stuff my own stocking since my boys tend to forget to stuff it! ;)
This isn't pink, but they also bought me a waffle maker from Williams Sonoma (which happens to be a few shops down from the Lilly store and qualifies as a 'one stop'). This was Griff's choice :) ...
I also received more pink gifts from my sweet goddaughter (another very favorite store of mine, Tory Burch) ...
{ Tory Burch Pink Tee }
{ Pink Book }
And ... my pups fighting over playing with their toys from Santa, one which happens to be pink ...

This week for Pink Saturday, our hostess Beverly asked us to share a Christmas tradition ... and not necessarily a pink one. So, no pink (gasp!) this week.
One of our many traditions is playing 'hide the pickle' on Christmas eve. This is an old German tradition. Over the years we have had to change the rules a bit since my two older boys are so much older than Griff, the youngest. We would play it many times so they all could win and each would get a gift to open. Of course B&C were instructed to let Griff win at least one game. Some years the tree was just about torn down over this little 'friendly' Christmas game. Very competitive boys!
I've been MIA from Pink Saturday the past few weeks due to traveling, but I am happy to be back this week. I believe we were asked to share a favorite Christmas decoration this week, but I can not remember (forgive me Beverly!). I am sharing my little pink flocked tree that I have here in my office ... and it is not only pink (with Lilly ornaments), but it is a favorite! You can see other photos of my office here.

Happy Pink Saturday and Halloween to you all.
Of course, I don't have any pink Halloween decorations, but I did make this monogrammed pumpkin for my goddaughter, Bridget ...
And a few photos of my non-pink fall decorations. Kind of hard to get into the fall & Halloween spirit when it it 92 degrees here - enough already with the heat & humidity! ...

A very happy Pink Saturday to you all. This week I am featuring a very special 'guest' ... sweet Khloe! Khloe is the precious little girl I sponsor at the New Day Foster Home in China.
Last week, I received and update on Khloe and a few photos of Khloe opening her package from me ... and dressed in her new pink tutu! So cute.
Tanya, Khloe's mama posted this photo on her blog and created the cute pink frame. She also included a picture of her older daughter when she was younger in her tutu - so cute!
I also wanted to mention that I received an email yesterday from a blog reader, Lauren who was lead to the New Day Foster Home through my blog and is now sponsoring a little boy named Jamison (what a cutie - so precious). How great is that -Amazing how God works!

One more thing .. I almost forgot. We were asked to post a link to another Pink Staturday Blog that we enjoy. I'd like to share Mary's blog, One Perfect Bite. Mary is a fabulous cook and shares her recipes and wonderful photos. Enjoy!
Another Pink Saturdayand this week I am 'sort of' sharing something pink. I am the lucky owner of a new car and while the car is not pink, I am wearing a pink (and orange) Lilly dress. My husband took these pictures with my iphone (thus the bad quality photos) in the showroom when I was having a 'lesson' on all it's features, which took over an hour. Lots to learn. This my first 'non-mom' car in 22 years. With just one child (who will be driving himself in just 3 years!) at home now, I was ready to down size. I've gone through a Volvo wagon, two different Suburbans and 2 different smaller SUVs ... and although I have only had it for a day, I love this car!

Happy Pink Saturday ... and 4th of July!
Yesterday, I was at the salon for color, treatments, cut and style. My stylist asked to take a few photos of my hair. She is amazed (as am I) at how it has improved in the 5 weeks since my first visit - much healthier, thicker (looks like I have so much more hair), soft, smooth and shinny. Love the color too. I have been using the products she suggested, Karastase and added a few more yesterday. The products really are making a huge difference with the health and condition to my hair.
OK ... not really anything to do with PINK, but I DO have on a pink top and to be truthful, I forgot about Pink Saturday - I have red, white & blue on my mind ;)
ETA: I found a few pink photos to post ;) ...

Happy Pink Saturday to you all. Today I am sharing a little something I made, a gift for my sister in law. A stationery box with my scripture cards. I made a similar gift for a swap I was in a while back - a very fun project. By the way, I meet Jill through this swap. I was paired up with her and what a blessing to me! Jill is such a beautiful, lovely woman. I learned about the New Day Foster Home through her. She also sponsors a little girl, Gracie and was able to travel to China last year to visit and volunteer at New Day.

And for those of you that 'know' me ... yes, I still have two other boys ;). I haven't mentioned much about either Barret or Connor lately - you know the last thing they want is their mother blabbing about them on her blog ;). They are both still in college and at school for the summer. Hopefully they will be home in between sessions - I miss them!
This week, I am sharing a collage of some fabulous PINK photos I came across on flidkr - enjoy!
