What Color is Halloween?

Black and orange!  Black and orange!
Traditional colors for Halloween,

and no one may do it better than
a fellow lover-of-pink
and fabulous bear artist
and all-around-nice-gal
Miss Aleta
re-linked this so please let me know if problems ...

I have a special spot in my heart for black and orange ....

Please don't tell me 
that this is no longer the mascot logo
for Oregon State ....
I know Benny has updated his look ...

but I prefer "Happy Benny" to
"Slick Benny"

Looks like Happy Benny
had a lot of fun
back in the day!

Anyhow ...

There is a lot you can do with the
traditional orange and black.
 Candy corn door decoration at BHG ... 
can make it with directions here

But is Halloween limited to black and orange?

ABSOLUTELY NOT!
Here's one of my favorite colors.

Didn't she just ROCK it?

Falling for Fall

Mmmm ...

Just back from a trip to Washington.
No, no, no ....
not THAT Washington!

That trip is NEXT week, silly!

But THIS Washington ...
AND GUESS WHAT?!?

While I was away,
fall happened ...
on both coasts.

It reminded me
how much I like fall 
and it's bits and pieces.

Here are a few
just for you.
Leaves from Sandy and Joe at
They are not in the Northwest ....
but a great blog to visit.

These luscious lovelies are from
She had a great time at Art Camp while I was gone.
This one is from Florence's blog
(And it sounds like I missed a 
GREAT primitive sale while I was gone!!)

And don't you love this one from Noteworthy Musings?
And this one too?
Carole had some great getaways.

It's nice to take a few minutes
to catch up with
what people have been doing ...

I LOVE
our time together.
So many more to drop by and see ...

and comments to reply to.

WHEW!

But first a quick look
at MY own bit of fall 
in my dining room
Preserved leaves from Safeway
artificial blooms (on sale) at Michael's
salvaged curly willow in
an old ironstone pitcher ...

And look closer ...
my own
PUMPKIN MAGIC WAND!!
from sweet Martha at

Time to get back to work! ....

Hugs and hopes for a fabulous fall!
Sammy Girl

ps .... found the PERFECT shoes to go with the pumpkin magic wand but they didn't fit .....

Pink Saturday - I'm Dreaming



YEP!

I'm dreaming of a 
PINK CHRISTMAS!
First ...

it is AFTER October 1st ...
which means

I have family
APPROVAL
on all things
CHRISTMAS.

singing carols ...
planning decorations ...
(maybe putting a few out, lol!)
anything goes!

So ...
I'm dreaming of a pink Christmas.

Not Elvis' Blue Christmas ...

Or Bing's White Christmas ...

But one that's PINK!

Are YOU thinking pink?

Hmmm ...
                 imagine ...

Guests make their way 
across your porch,
blushing in the glow of pink candlelight ...

to your 
enchanting entry
of coral confection ...
where you greet them in your
little black dress.
(with a few pink touches
of course!)

After sipping your
pretty pink punch

sit down to a sumptous dinner 
served on
perfectly pink plates

under a chandelier strung
with a few of your vintage ornaments.

Pink perhaps?

On the sideboard with all the food
is a petite pink perfection ...

And the tree ...

are these vintage beauties yours?

Before everyone departs
they take just a little
pink present

to remember the wonderful evening.

Are you ready for a pink Christmas
and holiday season?

Check out your ornaments ...

and garland ...

order your tree ...
 from here?



and let the world know!
This sign available thru Bella Lucille

I'm already hooked on pink for Christmas ...

how about YOU?

Hugs and have a pink-a-licious day!

Pink Saturday - Pink Carnation - lol!


This isn't about
either
a pink carnation
OR
a white sport coat.

Time out for a flashback moment ...
Old timers you'll remember the song ...
youngsters
there's youtube!

And yes, I remember the performer,
but NOT old enough for this performance, lol!

It's about being
IN LOVE.

In love with a 
pink truck.
Well
he's not available.

I met this cutie from
Michigan.

While not bubble gum pink ...
he's definitely channeling the pink vibe!
And in this pic he's visiting a retirement center.

*Sigh*

The volunteer spirit touches my heart.

But it would clearly be
strictly a rebound relationship.

Maybe I should give up on the
farm boy and go with
something with a little more
classic rock and roll ...

You know ...
Jerry Lee and the boss ...

"I love you for your pink Cadillac"



Mmmm ...

Maybe this hot little number ...

Deby 
from Apples of Gold

Well --

How about
construction workers?

(insert your own joke about
construction workers being studs ...)
Yep!
That's a 
pink cement mixer!

Something about a pink cement mixer ...
shows his confidence!

Still not right.

Soft spot for those
military types?

Always ready to serve the cause.
The Hummer -- Maybe!

Perhaps a good ol' boy.
like a Ford Ranger ...

But if we're
BACK
to a pick-up ....


Maybe a little of this ...


(ok, maybe a lot!)

to turn 
THIS

into my love.

Anyone up for a project?

Give me a call ...
1-800-946-5227*

that's

1-800 pinkcar .... lol!

Oh, and the
title of the post?

If we ALL drove these rigs ...

wait for it ...

We'd be living in a

no groans, please ... 

Pink Car Nation!

Hugs and have a pinkalicious Saturday!
