Sweet Pink Memories

It's Pink Saturday again! I had a tough time finding Pink. It's February and it's New England. Pink is hard to come by when you are surrounded by frozen tundra. I had to go back to my summer trip to Martha's Vineyard to find some suitable Pinks.

So here we go. Home base was the lovely pink Oak Bluffs Inn. Isn't it cool?

We spent quite a bit of time sitting in those chairs and sipping lemonade on the porch. It was great for relaxing and people watching.

Here's a closeup of the entrance. I just love all the colors, so cheerful.


Side view of the inn.




This was a shop down the street from the Inn. The shop was called Good Dog Goods. I love the black wicker chair against the pink building.




Back to the Inn, this was my room. Green with pink accents, so pretty!




This is one of the gingerbread cottages in Oak Bluffs.


Another cottage in closeup.


The pink pops against the white of this cottage.



One day and night during the year, all the cottages in the old Methodist Campground are decorated with lanterns and parasols. They are illuminated at night. It's called Illumination Night and it's always held in August.

It's a good idea to go to the campground early and get some pictures in the daytime.

It's hard to get good nightime shots and photos never do Illumination Night justice.
It is so spectacular!



Some of the lanterns are made of silk and some are made of paper.

This cottage is called the Sweetheart Cottage. It's totally pink and all decked out in lanterns.
That's the end of the tour. It was fun to reminisce about my vacation and the warm, sunny days of August. I think I heard it's about 10 degrees outside right now. Looking forward to the warm days of August!

These pictures bring me hope of a thaw. Isn't exciting that we are having a "heat wave" this weekend?

I love it. My husband would die before he walk through those doors, though, unless I blindfolded him first. Thank you for visiting me on my first PS.

I love seeing your pictures from Martha's Vineyard again! I think my favorite is of the shop with the black wicker chair. Although, I do love those lanterns!

Happy Pink Saturday!

I love Martha's Vineyard! I've only visited once, but I had so much fun walking around Oak Bluffs and looking at all the gingerbread houses in the campground, while my husband was golfing.

We drove all over the island and saw all the towns, one so different from the other. I'd love to go back. Have you been to Nantucket also?

Happy pink weekend!

What pretty pictures. Here, in West Texas, I've never seen anything like these cottages. Rougher land way back when, I guess.

God bless your day.
