Ooohhhh La La Pretty in Pink!
Happy Mother's Day and Happy Pink Saturday! 
My Dining Room is feeling so springy and pink,
makes me want to do a little twirl! Giggle!
I was out junk haulin treasure hunting today and I came accross these darling pretty in pink French bowls!
(Shhhh they were .15 cents each, HAPPY DANCE!!!)
I have a lovely pink lacy table runner that I have been dying to use and I thought these would go together perfect!

Oh so pretty in pink vintage table runner, don't the crystal candlesticks offset it nicely!

Last year during Christmas I got really creative and made these darling cupcake ornaments using vintage styrofoam Christmas ornaments plopped in a cupcake wrapper, glittered up and topped off with tulle and pretty flowers! Yummy!
Oh Pink Saturday just excites and delights me!


My mom moved to Colorado a couple of years ago and left me this beautiful Country French Table and chairs! So Sweet! She also gave me the two stand up lamps on either side of the door, which I promptly painted pink (of course)!

We will have some delightful treats in these bowls today, probably cereal first, then ice cream!
Happy Pink Saturday all of you pretty in Pink ladies! Please see more pink where our host Beverly at http://howsweetthesound.typepad.com/my_weblog/ is so kind to host Pink Saturday!
I am off to visit as many of you pinkie girls that I can until I head out for some junk haulin treasure hunting today!
 A special thank you to Jillian at http://bellarosaantiques.blogspot.com/2010/05/mom-knew-i-loved-pink.html
for mentioning my Pink loving ways on her blog, stop in and say hi to her if you get a chance she has a beautiful blog!
Have a lovely and blessed day!
Hugs,
Olivia

    Tres elegant, and what a lucky find! I love your little "cupcakes" - never thought of styrofoam balls... I have a few I bought a few years ago, to make Christmas ornaments with (still in the bag, lol). So you've inspired me.

    Happy Pink Saturday and Happy Mother's Day (sorry I'm late - my husband whisked me out for dinner last night and it was VERY late when we got back... so I'm doing my PS visits today).
