A new blog party...

my best buddy and I have been kickin' around some ideas for a new blog party...

and every time we come up with something...

its already been done...

and then I came up with this...

it is so general that the possibilities are almost endless...

and we thought about not doing it every week...

so no one gets burnt out on it...

but one that you could work on for once a month...

and we all have collections...

and it would be fun to see what others collect...

and a chance to show and tell about our own collections...

so...

if I can get a linky to work...

I'm going to start this next Sunday...

and if you don't have time for get something together by then...

that's ok, just gear up for October...

all I ask is that you have at least 3 of something...

vintage would be nice...

and that you do not use the blog party to advertise...

now...

back to the regularly scheduled program...

Pink Saturday is just one scroll down...

Pink Saturday...

this is a vintage dutch ashtray bought here in town from a dealer friend's shop...

dutch items are almost always blue, so I grabbed this one because it was pink...

a "new" rose bowl that my son gave me for mother's day a few years ago...

2 ruby flashes juice glasses, vintage...

I gave $2 each for them...

not my pattern of King's Crown...

but they were flashed...

a small pink vintage vase that I picked up at an antique mall from another dealer friend...

all these pink things are in one of my curio cabinets...

they are things that I just had to have and haven't sold them yet...

probably never will...

Happy Pink Saturday!

join in on the fun...

In between the rains...

we did get outside before lunch time...

there was a very stiff breeze...

and I loved it...

lots of moss on the old tree this year...

the rain beat down the soy beans pretty good last night and this morning...

this is growing across the street and it is so pretty and smells really good...

it has completely covered 2 small trees...

Bebe, the wonder dog...

we worked on this yesterday...

there's a grape vine growing up the trellis...

and I want it to grow all over this rack...

and then in the spring...

I am planting coffee cans and will have them filling the shelves...

my DH dropped and broke my wind chimes...

but you know me...

I don't throw it away...

I will reuse it next spring somehow...

the leaves are everywhere...

more every day...

see the fly?...

bonus with the brick photo...

this is the view everytime I come back inside...

so full of color...

it just makes you smile...

the table is covered with plastic...

and leaves and pots...

if this doesn't scream fall...

have a great evening...

we are having pancakes for supper!...

yum...
