TALENTED WOMEN WHO LOVE THE COLOR PINK AND EVERY SATURDAY, POST
A HEALTHY DOSE OF PINK, TO HELP US GET THROUGH THE NEXT WEEK. IT
ENERGIZES US AND MAKES US HAPPY. IF MAMA IS HAPPY...EVERYONE IS SO
HAPPY...LOL..BUT SO TRUE
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SPENDING A PART OF YOUR SATURDAY AT
THERE'S AN ANGEL ON MY FRONT PORCH. I SO LOOK FORWARD TO YOU
DROPPING BY AND ALL YOUR COMMENTS. I ENJOY READING EVERY ONE OF
THEM. I KNOW AS BUSY WIVES AND MOTHERS, TIME IS PRECIOUS. THAT IS
WHY IT IS SO SPECIAL YOU WOULD TAKE TIME TO STOP BY.

YOU PUT A SMILE ON MY FACE AND MAKE MY CHEEKS GLOW PINK.
YOU ARE LIKE A HEALTHY DOSE OF VITAMIN D THAT WE CAN GET FROM
SETTING IN THE SUN FOR 15 MINUTES....WITH SUNSCREEN ON OF COURSE.







MY SISTER SENT ME THESE BEAUTIFUL ANGELS A FEW YEARS AGO.

SHE HAS THE SAME ANGELS. THEY ARE MUSICAL AND WHEN YOU WIND

UP THE BOTTOM OF THEM IT PLAYS "THE WIND BENEATH MY WINGS."

IT SAYS , "SISTERS ARE GIFTS TO TREASURE FOREVER."






THEY ARE THE FIRST ISSUE IN THE KINDRED SPIRITS.

HEIRLOOM PORCELAIN MUSICAL FIGURINE COLLECTION.

NO. A7768

2004 BRADFORD EDITIONS.

ONE HAS A PINK SHAWL AND THE OTHER A LAVENDER SHAWL

THE WINGS ARE OUTLINED IN SILVER AS WELL AS THE BEAUTIFUL

FILIGREE WORK AROUND THE BOTTOM OF EACH ANGEL.

IT IS SO VERY SPECIAL TO ME AND I KEEP IT IN MY BIG DISPLAY

CABINET AWAY FROM MY CATS. WE ALWAYS SAID WHEN WE

LOOKED AT OUR SISTER ANGELS WE WOULD PRAY FOR EACH OTHER.

THANK YOU SHERRY, FOR THE JOY IT HAS BROUGHT ME ALL THESE

YEARS. MY DISPLAY CABINET IS FULL OF BEAUTIFUL GIFTS FROM YOU.







THIS IS THE FIRST BEAUTIFUL EGG MY DADDY BOUGHT FOR ME

AND HE BOUGHT ONE FOR MY SISTER, ALSO.

I WISH MY CAMERA COULD TRULY CAPTURE THE BEAUTY OF IT, THE WAY

YOU ALL PHOTOGRAPH THINGS...I THINK IT IS MY CAMERA AND THE

PERSON TAKING THE PICTURE.....LOL

IT IS ALL PINK EXCEPT FOR THE WHITE SECTION AT THE BASE OF THE

EGG. IT SAYS "MY DAUGHTER, MY JOY" IN GOLD.

AT THE TWO LITTLE POINTS THERE AT THE BOTTOM ARE TWO PINK

RHINESTONES...BRILLIANT SPARKLE. AT THE BOTTOM OF THE EGG,

ALL THE WAY AROUND ARE 14 PINK RHINESTONES....7 ON EACH SIDE

OF THE EGG. THERE IS A GOLD STRIP GOING UP THE EGG AND BACK

DOWN AT WHERE THE EGG OPENS. THERE ARE 80 TINY PALE PINK

RHINESTONES...40 ON EACH SIDE. IT IS SO VERY BEAUTIFUL.

DADDY MAKES ME THINK OF MY HEAVENLY FATHER, WHO SOME TIMES

SURPRISES US WITH A "JUST BECAUSE BLESSING."






WHEN YOU OPEN IT UP THERE IS A BEAUTIFUL GOLDEN ROSE. IT IS A

BEAUTIFUL WHITE ON THE INSIDE.

IT IS THE PRECIOUS JEWEL

FIRST ISSUE IN THE

TREASURED DAUGHTER.

IT PLAYS, "YOU ARE SO BEAUTIFUL."

NO. A6407

THANK YOU DADDY FOR MY TWO EGGS. THIS I LOVE SO MUCH BECAUSE

IT WAS THE FIRST ONE AND THE PINK RHINESTONES ARE SO VERY

BEAUTIFUL. I LOVE TO TAKE IT OUT OF MY DISPLAY CASE AND LOOK AT

IT AND WIND IT UP. IT IS A TREASURE AND I LOVE YOU DADDY,

FOR BEING YOU...FULL OF SURPRISES.









THIS WAS A GOODWILL PURCHASE FOR .50 CENTS. IT IS VERY

UNUSUAL. ON THE BOTTOM IN GOLD IT STATES...

FORMALITIES

BY BAUM BROS.

VICTORIAN ROSE COLLECTION.

IT IS TRIMMED WITH A SMALL GOLD LINE AROUND THE BOTTOM

AND THERE IS A GOLD LINE AROUND THE RUFFLE AT THE TOP.

WHAT IS UNUSUAL TO ME AND IF YOU ALL HAVE ONE OR KNOW ABOUT THEM

LET ME KNOW......THERE ARE ARE 5 TULIP TYPE THINGS AT THE TOP.....THAT

ARE SEALED TO FORM 5 LITTLE BUD VASES.....I DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY

ARE CALLED BUT IT SURE IS PRETTY. YOU CAN SEE INTO THE BOTTOM OF

THE VASE BUT IT IS NOT OPEN ALL THE WAY ACROSS....IT FORMS THOSE 5

LITTLE BUD VASES.

IT IS HEAVY TO BE SO SMALL.

THAT IS ALL I HAVE FOR THIS PINK SATURDAY.

BE SURE AND STOP BY AND LEAVE A LOVE MESSAGE FOR BEVERLY. SHE IS

TAKING CARE OF HER MOTHER WHO IS STILL IN A LOT OF PAIN.

AMY FINISHED CHEMOTHERAPY TODAY. I STARTED GIVING HER

NEUPOGEN AND NEUMEGA SHOTS. SHE IS VERY TIRED AND THE SHOTS

MAKE YOUR BONES HURT...BUT BLESS HER HEART SHE NEVER...NEVER...

COMPLAINS OR TALKS NEGATIVE. SHE TRULY IS MY HERO. SHE IS

THAT RARE SURVIVOR, ALWAYS THINKING OF LEILA. HER WEIGHT WENT UP

FROM 89 POUNDS TO 91 POUNDS BUT I THINK THE FLUIDS HELPED HYDRATE

HER AND THUS THE WEIGHT GAIN. SHE IS EATING...SHE IS HUNGRY AND

LOVING V-8 JUICE. SHE WAS SO VERY EXCITED TODAY AS HER

NEW WIG CAME THROUGH THE MAIL. SHE LOVES IT AND IT IS SO VERY

SOFT. SHE HASN'T LOST HER SHORT HAIR YET...THAT MADE HER LAUGH

AS SHE STILL HAS HER HAIR. LEILA, BLESS HER BRAVE HEART, IS

GETTING HER HAIR CUT TODAY, SATURDAY. IT IS SO LONG SHE CAN

ALMOST SET ON IT, AND THE MOST SHE HAS EVER HAD CUT OFF IS

TWO INCHES. SHE IS GOING TO LET THEM CUT IT ABOVE HER

SHOULDERS BUT SHE HAS A LONG FALL WIG COMING IN THE MAIL

AND THEY KNOW SOMEONE WHO CAN MAKE A WIG FOR HER FROM HER

OWN HAIR...AND THEN SHE WILL HAVE A WIG MADE OF HER OWN

NATURAL HAIR. REMEMBER HER THIS SATURDAY MORNING.

THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART FOR PRAYING FOR AMY.

SHE IS SO VERY BRAVE IT MAKES ME CRY WITH JOY. I HAVE SUCH

PEACE KNOWING SHE IS CRADLED IN GOD'S HEALING HANDS AND KNOWING

SHE LOVES THE LORD.

  9. Hi Debbie,
    Happy Pink Saturday!
    What beautiful treasures! Coming as gifts from a loved one makes them even more special. Thanks for sharing. Yes, I love Joyce Meyer and I listen to her everyday. She really inspires me to press into Jesus and I find her teaching very down to earth and practical for every day living. We know of Rhema Church and Kenneth Hagin also. Thank s for stopping by today; it's always nice to hear from you. Enjoy your weekend.

    Blessings,
    Sandi

  10. Hi Debbie,I love the angels. they are beautiful and the vase is beautiful to but I don't know why it has individual spaces in it either. Maybe it's to keep the flowers in a fan shape, that way they won't fall from one end to the other....hmmmm??? I'm praying for all of the lovely people on your list and I wish you and yours a beautiful weekend.... hugs, Jennifer

  18. Debbie, I think your pretty new vase is called a tulipier and is made to hold one stem in each indiviual pocket. Your angels and your egg are so pretty (what a wonderful surprise to open the egg and find a beautiful rose)! Tell Amy there are a lot of people still praying for her and Leila too. laurie

  19. You are a whole family of loving folks! The egg from your father is truly beautious. The angels from your sister are gorgeous! You are so giving and Amy is so very very brave and giving, too.

    Leila's idea of getting a wig made from her very own hair is brilliant.

    I have seen those bud vases before. I think it might be very old, as the ones I have seen are all antiques. They make flower arranging so easy and I have seen them with a rose in each "finger".

    I'll be thinking of Amy and Leila today and all week.
