Pink Saturday - August 20

For years, 31 years 10 months and 3 weeks to be exact, I have been looking for a big comfy arm chair.

You know the kind.

Overstuffed.
Soft.
The kind that feel like a warm hug when you sink into it.
A great place to read or maybe nap.

Today I found my chair!

And for only $13517.00 it can be mine!!!!
Yes you read that right, there are 5 numbers BEFORE the decimal point!
Guess I'll be looking for a while yet.

Happy Pink Saturday! Thank you to Beverly of How Sweet the Sound for hosting our Pink Saturday meetings.

Thanks for visiting!

Isn't it a miracle that we can do this? We can sit in the comfort of our homes, doing something that we love to do and raise money for someone less fortunate. We are all truly blessed.

The Wedding of Zara Phillips and Mike Tindall

Another Royal Wedding Today

Zara Phillips and Mike Tindall

Zara is the daughter of Princess Anne and Captain Mark Phillips. Mike is a rugby player. Kinda looks like a boxer, doesn't he?

Before "the dress" lets look at the famous relatives

Sophie, Countess of Wessex

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge

The Duchess of Cornwall

Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth

The bride's mom Princess Anne with the groom's father. I love the skirt but the jacket looks like a sofa cushion cover.

The bride with her dad, Captain Mark Phillips

"The Kiss"

"C'mon honey, there's food waiting!"

Pink Saturday - July 30

You've probably heard that Elizabeth Taylor's home sold for $8 million a couple weeks ago.

Please join me for the tour courtesy of Architectural Digest

The living room. Imagine a white carpet!

A wall in the trophy room where she kept family photos, humanitarian awards and her Oscars. So much better than displaying the Oscars in the bathroom like some actors claim they do

The dining room

The dressing room. The wallpaper is embroidered-silk!

The dressing room

The master bath

The bedroom. Her parents pictures are on the shelf

Elizabeth at her desk

A little bit of paradise

Elizabeth's nephew, Christopher Taylor tiled the pool and designed the shell-shaped fountain at the far end.

Happy Pink Saturday! Thank you Beverly of How Sweet the Sound for hosting our weekly meeting.

The Mystery of the Earrings - Part 2

Way back on June 14 I published the post below

Why does everyone make a big deal when a Royal wears the same item of clothing twice?

The Duchess of Cambridge circa 2009 at a friends wedding

Here she wears the same beautiful blue brocade coat with a blue dress and blue fascinator to the service celebrating Prince Philip's 90th birthday. Personally, I like this look the best. But the whole point of this post is to point out the earrings.

Sapphire surrounded with diamonds hanging off of what looks like a diamond stud. Could these be Diana's earrings?

The drops are removable. Maybe Harry got the stud part (no pun intended!) And William got the drops.

A prize for whoever solves the mystery!




Tamara Cohen in an article on Mail on Line, states that yes Prince William did give his Duchess his mother's earrings.

Tamara states that Kate had them remodelled into drops. Nope, I still think Prince Harry got the stud part!

Guess I get the prize! (Even though Kate got the real prize!)
