Pink Saturday - February 18

This week's pink offering is....

Natural fancy pink diamonds

"... A pink diamond has long been considered one of the rarest colored diamonds." ( S.C. Hofer, Pink Diamonds from Australia, 1985).

Ben Affleck purchased a 6.1 carat pink diamond ring for his engagement to Jennifer Lopez - do you think she kept it?

Singer Nick Cannon gave Mariah Carey a pink diamond engagement ring featuring 58 intense pink diamonds and two half-moon diamonds.

Even Queen Elizabeth has a pink diamond

She even wears it with a pink hat

And here is one just for you!

Happy Pink Saturday!
Be sure to visit Beverly of How Sweet the Sound for the whole pink lady list.

I've developed a crush on Fenton milk glass. I'd love any one of these pieces.

Pink Saturday - 4 February

Happy Pink Saturday! Beverly at How Sweet the Sound is hosting our weekly Pink Meeting

If I were a real life Princess (instead of just the imaginary one in my head) I would be known as the Pink Princess. These would definitely be in my spring wardrobe.

From the Elie Saab 2012 Spring Couture Collection

Being the modest princess that I am, I would have a pink slip added to all

I'd even go for this pink wedding gown

Would go quite nicely with a certain red hair prince, don't you think?

Last week, Nancy from Linens and Laurel suggested Etsy shop owners get together and make treasuries to highlight our specialties. I can't get the widget to embed here but you can see my treasury here

Thanks for visiting!

Pink Saturday - October 9th

Every year the month of October brings all sorts of household items in Pink. We've all seen the pink toasters, waffle ovens, light bulb packaging....



Since 2004 Carpet One Floor and Home has been supporting breast cancer research and awareness.



Every October Carpet One introduces Welcome Mats with the Pink Ribbon Symbol.



They run a contest where every day people can send in a design. Several of the designs are chosen and made into Welcome Mats. All of Carpet One Floor & Home’s welcome mats are stain-and-water resistant and machine-washable.



25% of each welcome mat sale helps The Breast Cancer Research Foundation® (BCRF), and the Canadian Cancer Society (CCS) find a cure for breast cancer.
The mats are available year round at Carpet One Floor & Home stores for approximately $24.99US/$34.99CDN.



To date, the sale of Carpet One's pink ribbon welcome mats have raised more than $800,000 in the U.S and Canada.



C'mon and be your own Breast friend. Make that appointment for your mammogram.

If you know someone who is learning about breast cancer in the up-close and personal way, please leave me a comment with their name. On Pink Saturday October 30th, I will do a blog-roll of all the names so we can do a prayer circle. Strength in numbers, women helping women.

Every week our Pink Saturday hostess Beverly of How Sweet the Sound brings us all together to share our Pink. Thank you Beverly.



Thanks for visiting. Happy Thanksgiving Canada!

The Colour of Purple

One of the fashion colours being shown for Fall is Purple. The colour can be said so many ways - Purple, Plum, Eggplant and my personal favourite, Aubergine. Doesn't matter how you say it, it is a gorgeous colour.

The best gem for this colour is the Amethyst. Amethyst is easily the most popular of the quartz minerals. It is crystalline quartz in shades of purple or lavender, with the darker richer colored varieties considered the most valuable. Brazil is the most prolific source of amethyst in the world today and so the most common source for cut stones on the market.




A shield-cut Amethyst teams up with beautiful round amethyst to hang from a 23 inch sterling silver rectangular link chain accented with more amethysts. While the chain is long enough to slip over your head, it easily opens with a sterling silver lobster clasp. Amethyst beads decorate the back of your neck.
