Pink Saturday

Today is Pink Saturday and Bev from How Sweet The Sound is hosting this lovely Pink Day.



It seemed to me,



that I had created



a series of



header designs,



a while back.



So, there they were,



just sitting there,



all this time,



when I could have been sharing them



with you.


Please take these images if you can use them, I think they would make lovely tags or place cards too.  Such a lovely shape, don't you think?



They are a gift from me to you.



Please visit the lovely Coralie from A Vintage Cottage Home, and see her beautiful pink post today.



The song for this post Chinese, from Friday's post, but I just love this song so it is still playing for this post as well.



Oh and please stop by to wish Dana, from a Stone Rabbit a Happy Birthday...



If you would like to create your own blog headers you can go to Flickr Toys and then scroll down to Blog Header and when you click there, you can either upload an image or bring it from flickr or facebook.  Choose the file you want, Center, Top Left or Bottom Right crop and then click on the Create button and you have a new header image.

Lost Horizons, Carousels and Chinese food.

nce when my girls were little, my husband and I traveled from Hong Kong to California for a vacation.  It was before Disney had opened in Hong Kong.

As we drove along the coast from San Francisco to Disney Land we stopped at a motel.

It was summer, yet we cranked up the air conditioning in our room, so that we could use the fireplace.  Something we missed when we were living in Hong Kong.

We ordered Chinese takeout and enjoyed the fireplace and food that we had come accustomed to.

Sometimes memories come flooding back.

How do we get back home...

When you have lived in different countries home becomes a place that only lives in your heart.

Home to me is made up of many chapters, filled with beautiful people and places that I have known.

Lost Horizons by James Hilton, was one of my favorite books and movie when I was young.

Perhaps those lost horizons in our lives are impossible to find again, yet all we have to do is look into our hearts and we can find them again.

Wishing you memories of Lost Horizons that warm your days with heartfelt memories.  The song for this post is Chinese

White Wednesday

oday is White Wednesday, and Kathleen from Faded Charm is hosting this lovely day.  My White Wednesday is all about an enchanting white garden.



I found a White windmill built in 1800,



Amongst gardens of white Lillies,







A white Arbor,



Leading to lovely gardens.



The song for this post is The Windmills of Your Mind.

.Wishing you a lovely White Wednesday.

he gardens are in The Heritage Museums & Gardens in Sandwich, Massachusetts. Please take home any photographs from this post, as my gift to you.

Have a lovely day.
