My First Pink Saturday

Beverly of How Sweet the Sound hosts Pink Saturdays and I decided to participate for the first time. So it's all about Pink today. I will be off on a day trip to Kennebunk and Kennebunkport, Maine. So while you read my summery feeling post, I will be up in the frozen tundra of Northern New England.I'll probably be all rosy cheeked. But I am sure to have lots of tea to warm me and I will be surrounded by the warmth of my friends in the tea group. Aw, yes! I belong to an afternoon tea group. But that's a post for another time.


Don't you love that teacup? The tea inside is from Jacqueline's Tearoom in Freeport, Maine.It's actually a red tea or rooibos named Autumn. It looks pink in your cup and the flavor is heavenly!




I love these pink ballet shoes. I got them at a store called Sweetbay. A fabulous store but it's closed now. So sad!



First I put them on the table for display but then I decided they would look better hanging.



They're from England. Sometimes I put them on the outside door. I have to be careful of the elements since they're satin.






Just a little bit of pink today for my first Saturday. I'll see you all next Saturday.

Welcome to Pink Sat!! I love your decorated ballet shoes--they look lovely in both places you shared. I just got caught up in your blog, as I see you have a soft spot in your heart for kitties,too. Last spring, I rescued our newest addition--little Twiggy. My friend and I found her--starving and just hours from dying. My amazing vets found out she didn't have any diseases, so we nursed her back to health. She is the best kitty, too, and is always near by. I haven't had a real "lap cat" in years (my other kitty follows me around, too, but typically doesn't care to be held). Anyway, your furbabies look very content!!!

Have a great Pink Sat!! Dana

Welcome to your first Pink Saturday, Elaine. I hope you are having a wonderful time with your friends.

A cup of hot tea would be perfect just about now. And, those ballet slippers are exquisite.
Deanna said…
Hi Elaine!
Welcome to Pink Saturday!

I would love to try that tea.

You gave me a good idea about next week's Pink Saturday..I didn't even think to post my own toe shoes!

Have a great time in Kennebunk!
Deanna :)
I can say this post was a real treat for me. Very nice pictures of pink. Looking forward to next pink saturday.
Belinda said…
I love that teacup, and the pretty PINK tea! :-) I'm addicted to tea, and can't imagine life without two or three cups each day. I stick with good old English *London Cuppa* brand, but this red/pink tea looks interesting. :-) I love the way you use the fun pink ballet slippers to decorate too...very creative.
Koleen said…
Welcome to your first "pink Saturday". I love your cup and saucer. I have been a cup/saucer collector for many years.
Welcome to Pink Saturday! So glad to have you with us. And I love your cup AND those toe shoes! I have a pair of mine I used to hang in a closet I had decorated, but I love those with the flowers in them. They are darling.

Wishing you a Happy Pink Saturday!

XO,

Sheila :-)

P.S. I love Maine!

Welcome to Pink Saturday. Why is it that ballet toe shoes are so darn romantic, because they are. Molly and Oscar are both very good looking. Stop by my blog, and meet Mr Ming. I live in Millinocket, but used to live in Biddeford Pool, not so far from Kennebunkport.

I love the ballet slipper with the flowers inside! What a fun idea. I think I like them hanging best, but they are so nice juxtaposed to that rustic box as well. Welcome and Happy Pink Saturday!

Lots of pink hugs, Bebe :)
Betty said…
I really like the ballet slippers and the way you use them! And such a pretty cup of tea. Also enjoyed reading about Molly and Oscar. Thank you for caring and giving poor Oscar a forever home.

Hi Elaine! Welcome to Pink Saturday! Can't wait to see what fabulous photos you have from Kennebunkport - the summer ones are so terrific! Glad you were able to dig out to go with your tea group!

The ballet slippers are great! Don't you just hate it when a favorite shop closes!? It happens so often these days...sigh.

Happy Pink Saturday,

Welcome to Pink Saturday. It's so much fun to meet all the new pinkies. Your name is beautiful and so are the gorgeous pink satin ballet slippers. Being part of a tea group must be so much fun. I don't know anything but the South's sweet tea. :) That sweet poochie in the pink coat in your post some time ago would be an adorable pink Saturday post. ~ Lynn
