Roses, vintage images & beautiful things are just some of the many things that I love. 

Today we are celebrating Pink Saturday’s 2nd Birthday so I decided to go into my Pink Saturday archives and dig out some of those gorgeous things I’ve shared since my first Pink post in June 2009.

Welcome and Happy 2nd Birthday to Pink Saturday!

Good china always helps make a celebration special. This teapot and tureen are so richly ornate – don’t they make you feel you’re in a grand palace in France?


The next item I found was one of my recreated pieces.  The roses you can see on the plate of the compote are decoupaged onto a motley background of pink, green and pale yellow.

I rather like the idea of filling the compote with delicious chocolates……. then eating them all with the excuse that you need to see the roses 😉

A pretty gift for the party …. a tiny, cute tassel adds more prettiness to the fluffy organza gift bag.

I think you’ll agree that roses are a favourite, so here is a lovely pink one for you.

Vintage images and beautiful roses are two things (of many) that I love. Today I’ll combine the two and share with you a few pictures which will hopefully brighten your Pinks Saturday and Valentine’s Day.

Welcome to Pink Saturday!

How sweet are these …

Roses speak love the whole world through …

Now, I usually don’t like to bombard you with lots of photos but seeing we’re combining Valentine’s Day with Pink Saturday
I thought I’d share some of my rose photos in which I have attempted to be a little creative with. I don’t have any fancy software so I’m limited with what I can do….

Fine Art?… an acrylic painting perhaps.

…. a canvas finsih.

…. sandstone or leather texture?

…. leather or sandstone finish? Whichever it is I like it.

… Hmmm, I’m not sure about this grainy finish – maybe on another photo perhaps?

…. just a bit of fun!

… and finally, another vintage picture to wish you all a

A Happy Valentine’s Day
