Pink Pedal Pushers .... Part One



I've been thinking of this
 
YEP!

Much more exercise than this



And much less hauling capacity than this:



(For a little pink love
from a prior post go

So why?

Cause I want to have
THESE!

A little explanation about the difference between
pedal pushers and capris?

(and remember clam diggers?)

Go HERE

Who wouldn't want
PINK PEDAL PUSHERS?

More importantly,
who knew that Carl Perkins
wrote the
quintessential
song about them?

(and you thought his only
foray into fashion was
Blue Suede Shoes?)

I wasn't listening to
Rockabilly in the 50's

but here goes ...

Well, she goes struttin' down the street In her sofisticated style
The way she's dressed was a knocking 'em wild
The cats started gazing till they called her out
Her pink pedal pushers was a-knocking 'em out
She wears a-pink pedal pushers, pink pedal pushers
Her pink pedal pushers has made her the queen of them all

She goes drivin' down the street in her brand new car
The cats started gazin' from near and far
She don't cause commotion till she steps outside
The cats get hep and holler, ooh-ooh man alive!

She's wearin' pink pedal pushers, pink pedal pushers
Pink pedal pushers has made her the queen of them all!

And just what would a
QUEEN
wear to
push those pink pedals?
Hugs and Happy Pink Saturday ---  and here's to having PINK KICKS of all kinds!!
Sammy Girl

ps ... the mirror tells me I'd better stick to black capris ..... but look at the great company I'd be in!!
Be sure to visit other Pink Saturday blogs at How Sweet the Sound and thank our hostess Beverly.
Six new "Pinkies" this week, including Susan at Ash Tree Cottage who is showcasing her quilt today!
Drop by and say "hi"!!

Pink Saturday -- A classic in it's own right!

Thinking of  ROSES?

Classic red?

Not me!

I love roses of any kind ....

but pink ones make me

SWOON!



Doesn't that make you
catch your breath?!

Cool pink ...


or this warm pink ....

They are
SPECTACULAR!


Mmmmm....

these look ready to arrange.



Look how nice they play with others!!


They are never jealous of their red sisters ...

and probably wish we would let them
entertain TOGETHER more often!

They can be
SWEET ...

or EXOTIC!

I think I love ALL pink roses
and feel they are a classic
in their own right!

OKAY - Sammy Girl
Tell us a story!

Well ....

A kazillion years ago
in a Goodwill Store far far away ....

Actually not that far away,
but before the
"new, clean and shiney"
Goodwill stores.

You know -- before they
pull dated the
merchandise??

We found this little thing


Isn't she a beaut?

(was just in a mat ... no frame)

Cabbage roses ...
a little hobby watercolorist?


Traces of the artistic muse ...
(pencil lines ...)

and signed by
M. K. Nelson -- 1912.

We decided it had been
painted by "Aunt Martha"

Ever since that day
 there has been a
special place in our hearts
for watercolors of
roses.


Just like the title says ....

they are

"A Bunch of Beauties"!

Hugs and wishing you a beautiful PINK SATURDAY full of adventures and things you love!
SAMMY GIRL

notes:  other than "Aunt Martha's" pic ... all others are by Paul de Longpre except for two by Christie Repasy.  Her classic "French inspired romantic"  roses can be bought online or in stores.  Her website here.  She currentlly has a SALE going on!!
Be sure to visit other Pink Saturday participants and stop by to say hi to Beverly at How Sweet the Sound and thank her for hosting this meme each week!  Click on logo on sidebar or here.
Finally --   That day so long ago?  Well, Mr. Sammy Girl said a lady followed me for the entire 1/2 hour I was shopping, apparently hoping that I would put it down the watercolor so she could claim.  "Aunt Martha's" picture today? It hangs in our living room and I see it EVERY day!

Pink Saturday! 2010 Sweet Ride!

Mmmm ....


Lookin' for a sweet


pink ride for


2010!
Tell us, SAMMY GIRL!

WHOA!


Not a VESPA ...
.... but THAT WOULD


meet the
definition of a sweet ride ...


Well, then ..... ??
Sammy Girl
metaphorically


means a sweet ride ...


Something sweet ....
Like

"having a go"

at something.

Trying something new.


Miss Maggie Rose
(isn't she stunning!!)
and I
will be participating in the
4 Friends 4 Sales
show!!


Kinda like jumping off a cliff ...
an adrenaline rush!


But there to cheer us on
the other Friends

NOW

2010 looks like a sweet ride?


SO MUCH FUN
IS ON IT'S WAY !!


MARCH 13th


Stay tuned for more details
about my fabulous location

Happy Pink Saturday and here's to trying something new, exciting, and a little scary in 2010!
SAMMY GIRL
note: please drop by and tell the other friends "hi" and thanks for letting Sammy Girl play with them. Oh, and mark your calendar for a great day of playing, shopping, and having fun! (And please tell me it's okay to jump off this cliff -- even if it's not. Aren't friends SUPPOSED to tell little white lies to make us feel better??) And sorry for the spacing snafus ... this new computer is still a little bit headstrong and not playing well with blogger ... and YES ... that was my secret with the white roses and mercury glass vases (a trial for the table with yummy treats!)

Pink Saturday - Optimistically

Looking at life through
rose-colored glasses

"with an attitude that things
are better than they really are"

Hmmmmm

Being an optimist
has options ....
Sorta retro 80's/90's
(what is this style callled?)

And
(of course!)
classic cat-eye frames ...

complete with just a bit
of
BLING!

Something a little more
straightforward ...

business woman or
super hero disguise
(a la Clark Kent)

But even an optimist
can have a

bad day.

What's a gal to do
when the world hits
ya a good one?

Why talk to her

eternally optimistic
best friend.


Try to get a little different

perspective ...



(love the glitz and bling on those opera glasses!)

Or maybe just sit by the fire.

Things might look better
with pink glasses of bubbly.


The best pink lens to use
to see the world?


Just sayin' ...

No matter how rough the
setback
you can be an optimist
if you know the happy ending.

Hugs and here's to maintaining a positive attitude in tough times ...
SAMMY GIRL

Also, if you know Kathy from Mimi's Garden (click here to visit if you don't know her blog) please ask her how she has my Great Gramma's cookie jar. Seriously! I couldn't believe it ... although the lid to gramma's broke way back in the 60's, so perhaps it's a different one ... maybe.
