Twelve Little Pink Things That Make Me Smile! :-)

It's another lovely Pink Saturday at our good friend Beverly's blog, and today I'd like to share twelve little pink things (some of which) I found around my house that make me smile. Hope they make you smile, too!



I actually have two of these lady bug ornaments, and as you can tell, they are identical twins. I love their big smiles, silly wire antenna, pink cheeks, stripes, and polka dots. And oh, yes... the fact that they just happen to be pink...



Then there's this little monkey friend who's painted by folk artist, Lila Graves. This is actually a card I framed. This girl is a queen, you know...



And here is her scepter...



With a great big Gerber daisy on the front. It's pink, just in case you didn't notice. ;-)



And surprise! It has a fly swatter on the back...



Pretty convenient don't you think??? And it comes in handy when you're trying to keep the flies off the royal cupcakes.



No one said anything about the butterflies on the cupcakes...



Because butterflies, we like...



Particularly when they are pink sparkly ones...



From butterflies to birds, I found this little pink and green cottage birdhouse inhabited by a flock of flamingos, and my Florida-loving heart connected...



Doesn't this look just like a cottage where a pink flamingo would live???



And I love its little pink shingled roof. I wish they made pink shingles for bigger houses...



Now, flamingos aren't the only pink animals that live here. There are also pink elephants...



Who happily co-exist with velveteen rabbits with pink ears, noses, and whiskers...



And this trio of critters...



Who happen to be a pink-eared camel...



With pink feet...



A pink striped zebra...



And a pink elephant. No, you're not seeing things. That makes two pink elephants if you're counting. ;-)



The animals and the other happy pink things have been having a pow-wow about how to co-exist in a little room that is being designated a kid zone for visiting Munchkins (godchildren and namesakes and such). It's a room I plan to reveal to you, but on another day...



The last pink thing that makes me smile is this symbol for Pink Saturday...



Because that means I get to visit some of my favorite people in the Land of Blog. Want to know the best thing about Pink Saturday? No one thinks you're goofy to be a grown magpie who loves stuffed animals because the other Pinkies love theirs just as much! And dolls! And dollhouses! And pink high heels! And pink Cadillacs! And pink dishes! And all sorts of shiny pink objects! So I thoroughly enjoy this day. It helps that Beverly is also very sweet. So please join me over at Beverly's as I visit her and her friends by clicking here.



I'm not sure if this is cheating (because I've known her for quite some time), but if you don't know Claudie of Bubblin' Over, please make it a point to meet her. She is a doll, and I think she is just about one of the pinkest Pinkies I know. Love her lots. So do yourself a favor and meet Claudie by clicking here!

Thanks so much for visiting me, and I look forward to visiting you, too! Enjoy this day as I'm wishing you happiness by the armload on this beautiful Pink Saturday! :-)

Warmly,

Mrs. Magpie (Sheila)
