A little pink this 'n a little pink that, let's celebrate Pink Saturday!
My first goodie this week is a pair of socks that I dressed up with a sweet, little crocheted edge to fancy them up a bit for Sunday church service. I've made several pairs of these for the little girls in my life.
Found this cutie pie at my local Salvation Army Store for a dollar. No one in my neck of the woods finds vintage baby planters cute or collectible so I can grab them at my leisure, which I do whenever I am out on the prowl. There's just something about the pastel colors that attracts me along with the pure innocence of intention.
My hibiscus' don't bloom until nearly the end of summer but as I was browsing my files I found this photo from last year and just had to share them with you today. I wait all year for these beauties to open their blossoms for me...it's really worth the wait! Each blossom is a HUGE 6" across. Just ♥ them like the dickens.
I have a pink garden at the side of my house. You will find the hibiscus' that you just saw above and these pink lilies with just a touch of lavender to high-light the pinks. Summer is so short up here so each and every bloom that blesses me in the summertime is treasured.
Last but certainly not the least is my sweet Miss Camille Suzanne giving some lily-of-the-valley a little kiss showing you her darling pink tongue. Right after her tender kiss these were put way out of her reach as all parts of this plant are poisonous to cats!
There you have it, my Pink Saturday. A little of this and a little of that but all dear to my heart. Be sure to drop by Beverly's How Sweet the Sound because there are dozens of wonderful blogs listed for you to visit. Each of them is unique and each is special in its own right. Have a great weekend!

Hi Sweet Mimi....love all your baby things...your pretty posies and your Kitty! Isn't it a shame something so beautiful and fragrant like the Lilly Of The Valley are so poisonous? They are to humans, too!
Awesome pink post, your flowers are gorgeous and the kitty is precious!

Your flowers and your cat are lovely ,the pink baby thing are cute. The music is nice too. Great post.
Thanks for sharing ( and for dropping by). Happy weekend.
Happy PS, I love hibiscus and think I'm going to need to go buy one to plant...this blogging can get very expensive...I keep seeing flowers I just love. Have a great weekend Mimi.
Hi Mimi,
Such a pretty pink post! Thanks for sharing all your sweet treasures and have a wonderful weekend. Happy Pink Saturday!

Thanks for stopping by this morning, wish you could have left some of the rain...we need it so badly.
Lovely pinks, the hibiscus is fabulous, and Miss Camille's addition is perrrrfect.
Have a happy sunshining day in you heart! Put on some happy music and twirl around the room.

I love little baby toes in fancy socks...adorable. Your hibiscus is beautiful, looks like crepe paper.
Thanks for sharing and enjoy the rest of this Pink Saturday!!
Hugs, Nerina :)
Oh Mimi,
This is such a sweet post! I found some of my favorite things among your tidbits. Who could resist such a beautiful pink-tongued kitty? I love the idea of a garden devoted only to the color pink......and the tiny, pink crocheted edging on the baby socks is so dear.
Have a wonderful weekend,
Kay
PS: I think your pink background is lovely.....are the blossoms African violets?
You have teh sweetest pinks!!! How you got that great pic of the is beyond me!! HOW GREAT!!
Happy Pink Saturday!
Hugs, Lisa
Pretty Pink things. I especially like the baby socks though. Love the pink crochet edge you added. Thanks for taking the time to stop by my blog too. Hope you have a great pink Saturday.
Funny picture of the kitty! I love her little pink tongue.
Happy Pink Saturday!
A pink kitty cat tongue!
Original!
VERY original!
Love it!
Love the baby socks and all your flowers - but the best is your beautiful kitty kissing the flowers! Happy Pink Saturday, Mimi!
Hi sweetie! I loved little Miss Camille giving sugars to the plant but yes, I guess there are a lot of plant life that is not safe for our little pets.
Of course, I adore your lovely nursery planter..it's a beauty for sure. I haven't been out thrifting lately since we had so much family come in for the graduations that we had in May and this month. I'll hit the Goodwill and Salvation Army stores next week. I feel so out of the loop but hopefully there will be some goodies to be had!
Hugs,
Deanna :D
That baby girl sock is adorable and Miss Camille is a beautiful kitty. What a great shot of her little pink tongue! Happy Pink Saturday and Father's day weekend!
What a perfect post this morning. I love what you did with the socks. You are right about the baby vintage. I wonder if the person who gave it up, will wonder why they did? Your blooms are beautiful and you caught the cat at the perfect moment. I don't know how you did that, priceless, Happy Pink Saturday, Char
Oh - Miss Camille is looks divine next to the Lily of the Valley. I have always LOVED Lily of the Valley - I can't imagine I could grow it here - but, hmmmmm - maybe in the wintertime? Pretty Pink Post! Pink Hugs!
Lovely pinks but the kitty kissing the flowers is AMAZING!! Happy Pink Saturday.
I love baby socks , yours are so sweet!
Happy Pink Saturday!!
Hugs
That is the most beautiful cat I've ever seen!!!!
Wish I could grow Hibiscus, not enough sun on our wooded lot...but yours are scrumptious!! HPS!!!
I have been trying to stop by to say hello since Pink Saturday...last week! Sheeeesh!
Those baby socks are just too precious. And I have to tell you, my cat is soooooooo jealous that Miss Camille Suzanne got a pretty, sophisticated name and she got stuck with the stupid name of "Itty Bitty Kitty" (also known as Iggie Biggie...which actually fits her better since she's not so itty bitty anymore).
P.S. Jasmin and Bo send out a big hello to Scout and Freyja!
Oh I wish I had seen your idea awhile ago! The little crochet around the sock would have looked so cute on dear Bebe! I guess I can still try it...she'll be 9 mos old this week.
Your kitty is so pretty!
Don't you just love a beautiful, perfect flower? Happy ps.
I loved all your pinks..the tiny socks are so very sweet, and I can't imagine anyone leaving a pretty planter like this....and then there is the sweet kitty and flowers. How adorable. I loved that photo. Have a happy Pink Saturday weekend..hope it's a great one.
Hi Mimi,

Happy Pink Saturday! I so enjoyed the pic with the Lily of the Valley flowers. I have never in my life touched, smelled or seen them in "person", (peonies either) and they look so pretty and so romantic!
Love the baby things too!

Running late for Pink Saturday... Guess it could be Pink Sunday for me. Hee Hee
Thanks for stopping by & I am sorry you are having cold yucky weather... we are cooking down here in Texas! Loved the picture of the kitty kissing the lillies of the valley! Priceless. Have a wonderful week. AND one question... how do you do those cute hearts on your comments?
Happy Pink Saturday Mimi! I'm doing my rounds a little late - it's so nice to meet you. You have a gorgeous blog - love it!

Hi Mimi! I being the crocheter that I am, LOVE the little pink socks with the crocheted edging! I did not know you crocheted! Beautiful work, and I'm sure the little girls in your life feel just like a princess in them! To be honest, I still occasionally make similar ones for myself! I get tired of frumply old looking socks all winter, here in "The Great Northeast"!.. but you need to wear them to keep warm! (0;
Love the little ceramic bassinette too! Happy Pink Saturday, and hope you have a wonderful week!
Love the darling pink socks! But Miss Camille is my favorite!! Beautiful post!
