Pink Saturday #5

Thank you to Beverly for hosting Pink Saturday again. I find it fun to participate and it can get challenging to figure out what to do for a Pink Saturday post.

I am using my background fabric again for this post. Here you will see why I use the Neabear for my blog name. I use the last part of my first name and added bear because of my collection of teddy bears. Here are 3 of them that have some pink. The first bear has a dark pink ribbon around his neck. The next bear has pinkish wings with pink flowers in her fur and a pink nose. Then the third bear is a Cancer Bear with the pink breast cancer logo ribbon on her chest and a pink ribbon around her neck. The picture frame is from Avon, it had been my mother-in-laws. Somehow I have ended up with quite a few of her things when she was clearing out her house. There are pink flowers around the edge of the frame and the baby is my granddaughter not long after she was born sporting a pink headband. She is now 2 years old. In the foreground is a handkerchief with pinkish peach flowers and edging. I honestly don't remember where this one came from. I found it looking for my pink buttons to include in this picture. And then there are an assortment of pink buttons.
The picture above and the one below are my shades of pink impatiens that are still blooming. I have really enjoyed these flowers this year.
That is it for today's Pink Saturday post. I need to save something for future Pink Saturdays. Happy Pink Saturday to everyone. Thanks for visiting me. Now be sure to visit Beverly at How Sweet the Sound for more Pink Saturday posts. It is interesting to see what others come up with for Pink Saturday.

Pretty pink!! I don't do pink except in one shirt and a nightie so I enjoy seeing others.

We love our GPS since we got it in 04. I love that we can move it from car to car! Enjoy the next trip!

Cute teddy bears and beautiful flowers. I can't believe they still look so BEAUTIFUL!!

Dawn said...

Your pink post is sweet! I love how you came up with your username. Very clever. I used to have a collection of teddy bears for my son, but most have been packed away.

I really like your plants. Every time I try to grow impatients they always die. I either water too much or not enough.

take care,
Dawn

Lovely Pinks. I have to let you know your blue post is beautiful. I am hunting down the pattern for the crocheted cakes - I made the pattern myself. I promise to get back in touch as soon I do. Have a wonderful week.
