Beverly at how sweet the sound hosts a Pink Saturday, and I've joined in the fun this week. Although I'm not a pink person, I have found something to share with you.
An apple a day keeps the doctor away! I collect apples, and this is one of my first. When my children were married, I began to go to college. I went for four years, got my degree, and began to teach. My daughter bought me this beautiful apple to commemorate that special happening. It's a soft opaque pink with a clear green stem. I just love it.
This pink apple does not show well in pictures. I worked so hard to get a good shot. It hardly showed up at all sitting on my kitchen counter, so I moved it to my white kitchen table. (You know I'm not a very good photographer.) This apple has a crackled look to it and is a clear, pink glass. I'll admit, it kinda looks like a squashed pink tomato here, but it really is quite pretty.
Happy Labor Day Weekend!
PS I've decided to do a Blue Monday. Every Monday, I'll have a blue post.

Love those pink apples...they are really pretty! Happy Pink Saturday!
Well how appropriate for a teacher to collect apples :>) They are so pretty. I can see why you love them. I'm like you. I really don't have a lot of pink things around my house but I just might join this group. I hope you have a great Labor Day weekend.
Sally , I like your apples, very unusual.
Sally those apples are beautiful! I like them both very much. I have dwindled down the collection of apples that I had. I'm glad you have joined in for pink Saturday.
Happy Pink Saturday!
take care,
Dawn
A Pink morning to you, sweet Sally! First of all, yes!! you're hired. Although I can't pay you any salary!! Alas, I only spend Mr. Precious' money - maybe he'll pay you! That's an idea!
Now, aren't you the most educated one! I'm so proud of you getting your degree! What a sweet pink memory with the sweet pink apple!
Have a wonderful Pink Saturday and long holiday weekend and
be a pink sweetie,
Shelia :)
Your PINK apples are delightful !
Thanks for sharing...
Oh, and I like your BLUE MONDAY idea...I just might find some blue to post. :o)
love, bj
welcome. a wonderful tribute to you from your daughter. have a great pink day!
Welcome to Pink Saturday! Have a great weekend! Vanessa
Sally, I was so happy to read your comments this morning. I do have to do the other knee. Oh, that will take alot of nerve. I am so glad to hear of your happy results. I have suffered several years with these bad knees. Now I know where to go for questions. Smile. I love your blog name. You might be alot like me. I smile alot too.
Your apples are beautiful. I too collect glass apples and other glass fruit in the form of paper weights. I did a three day post back in May or June. I agree, they are hard to photograph. I used black fabric over a counter stool, out on my deck. It worked real well.
It is a pleasure to meet you.

love the pink lady. What a special apple. I really like that too. I have a couple of things that I am struggling with to get a good picture...some things are just that way.
Have a great weekend.
Happy Pink Saturday!

Hi Sally,
Your pink apples are really pretty. I think it's very appropriate for a teacher to collect apples!
Have a great day,
Diane
Both pics are really lovely! And the last "crackled" one is quite intriguing!
Sally, those are really unique. I've never seen a pink apple collectible before!
I love your *pink* apples! They are so very pretty! They remind me of one of my favorite delicious apples that hubby and I eat all the time *Pink* Lady apples! They are yummy!
Wow! going back to school to get a degree to teach! that's wonderful!
Pretty pink tomato!
Thanks for visiting me... I never even thought about the pink rug... I was too late to join in the FUN! Enjoy your weekend! Fifi
oh, I love, love, love your pink apples! how very unique!
thanks for stopping by and welcome to the fun - have a wonderful weekend! :)
I think the second photo captures the loveliness of your glass apple. Apples and strawberries, my favorite for a kitchen. Thanks for visiting!
that is a very beautiful apple and we can imagine what it looks like it real.
What beautiful apples. Have a happy holiday weekend.

Hello Sally, love your pink post pictures!
Happy Pink Saturday!
love, Ann
I love rose colored glass. Your collection is so lovely. Happy Pink Saturday. Karen
Love that crackle glass - it looks like Blenko glass which I adore! Thanks, Nancy
I'm not a big "pink" person either Sally! Each week I look around and ponder participating. Maybe I'll join in sporadically.
I could do blue Monday much easier. I'll start gearing up for next week!
Happy long weekend!
Beautiful apples! Congrats on completing college after raising children. Happy Pink Saturday!
I love the pink apple with the crackle glass! How sweet of your children to think of you like this!

You are my hero. I just retired from teaching school 33 years. My mother started to college after my sister and I married. Mother's are heros! Happy Pink Saturday!
What a beautiful apple.Is is solid or hollow?
Happy PS Day!

Welcome to your first Pink Saturday, Sally.
Congratulations on your achievement, and the apples are a perfect reminder.

Hey Sally! Your pink apples are adorable. Congrats to you for getting your degree after your children were grown up...that is a wonderful accomplishment...my Aunt did the same thing and she was so proud of herself, and we were so happy for her also. Happy Pink Saturday belated! Have a great week!

Queenie!
Lovely pink glass apples. What a wonderful thing to collect. That's neat that you didn't think you were pink person but look at those great apples. :)
Cute pink apples! I have very little blue so I won't be able to join the Blue Mondays but I wish you luck with it.
Kindredly, Lynne Laura
