WISHING YOU A BLESSED EASTER ~ Happy Pink Saturday

Happy PINK Saturday to all!
Its April 11th the day before Easter and a gloriously beautiful sunny day here in Detroit! I just LOVE spring and summer here! For those of us who live in the north...usually just before Easter spring starts to show its way...right now our grass is beginning to green up, crocus' and daf's are up with tulips to follow. And...buds are on the trees. We even enjoy the birds singing in our bird feeders during the day!

Today I have taken pictures of some pretty PINK florals that I have in my home. I do LOVE PINK roses and I know you will see plenty of them in my bouquets!

This sweet lil pot of roses was a gorgeous bouquet from my sweet hubby. I LOVE to find ways to keep them lasting forever so.....I let them dry and then decided to make a Martha Stewart type bouquet in a clay pot. I sure wish I had done a before and after on this. I never think of doing that til I am done!!! So bear with me and I will at least explain what I did.
I took one an elongated clay pot and painted it a soft rose PINK and then painted my roses on them. I decorated the top with pearls, gauzy pink bow and a pretty rhinestone button.
I then glued a round styrafoam ball to the inside of the pot. Glued spanish moss all around the ball and then began snipping the heads off my dried roses and putting them all around until I was finished. I just think its so much fun to come up with ways to keep memories lasting by creating a way to keep those floral bouquets that were given. What do you do with your roses? I'd love to hear.
This is in my master bedroom and its a soft blue vase that I painted and put PINK roses into it!
I showed this in my Spring Cleaning post, but wanted you to see it more up front. I tore this apart and redid it a bit and was so happy with how it turned out.
This is my newest creation...and sweet 6 inch cake with a dove surrounded by my handmade PINK roses. I put this between 2 PINK Rose Topiaries!

Thank YOU Beverly for continuing to take on PINK Saturday. You are such a blessing and I know everyone enjoys the fun of taking a peek into seeing the PINK that others love.

EASTER Blessing everyone!
He IS Risen Indeed!

Hi Lorena, I'm still making my Pink Saturday visits. Your pretty arrangements of pink roses are beautiful and I just love that cake with the dove. I can't see a dove without thinking of my Mom! I saw two at the bird feeder today and thought of her! She always told me that they mated for life!
Bless you, Shirl
