Pink Saturday

Eek! It's Pink Saturday again and I don't know about you but it's getting a bit harder to find Pink around the house - especially in October! Lucky for me, LaVerne was my partner for the Sweet and Sinister swap. It was supposed to be black and white with a touch of orange - but thank goodness LaVerne is such a "Maverick" and snuck in a whole lotta pink!
This vintage pink hanky box was loaded with all sorts of seam binding and punches and cool letters she made. It had this beautifully faded old silk flower on it. And a little box of pink drawers (not undies, silly) topped with this grand pink pin and filled with really creepy skull buttons.
Here's a card I'm holding of a picture of LaVerne, Barbara,and Judy.The pitiful thing about these captions....that's just about how our real conversations go!Bless her heart - Look at these Crown Royal bags she included. She drank FIVE bottles just so I could have bags with my "R" initial on them.
She made this fabulous welcome banner that looks incredible on this tapestry I have.
And included this paper lantern plus a purple one.
And for my birthday she brought these beautiful pink flowers along with all this pink spooky halloween stuff.
I'd say as friends go, she is:
Beverly at How Sweet the Sound host's Pink Saturday every week (in case you have been on Mars and didn't already know this!!) So stop over and see what everyone has in store for you this week. Now, I've got to enter this in my computer and head out for a manicure!

  5. Sweetie, I should have included a pink tube of hand cream...you probably mentioned your dry hands needing a manicure...but I thought you said manure and so I fertilized the flowers before I brought them...seriously, you made everything look so cute! I still want to get a Halloween Barbie to put in my spooky-cute haunted doll suitcase...

  7. Oh, Nancy, what an entertaining post! Love it! LaVerne sure delivered! I love the little box of skull buttons, those are fantastic! The photos are great. I love the creepy skeleton hands holding the photo. And all the pretty things, too. Your mixture of pink and Halloween orange/black is a real winner.

    Happy Pink/Black/Orange Saturday!

  8. Nancy, you have me laughing and laughing. This is a fantastic post, and I adore all of your goodies.

    I think you better hurry for that manicure. Maybe you need a massage, too. You know you've got to keep that blood flowing.

    Happy Pink Saturday.
