What Do Green Hands Make?

Ann from Anne Fannie's Green Acres sent me this package. She's an Italian Blogging Buddy who lives in California. You know I LOVE Italians; after all, I married one! You've heard of people who have a green thumb. Go to her blog, and you'll soon discover that she has a green hand. What a garden! In addition, she is quite a creative lady.


Inside was some blue tissue with this cute little bag. Look at the hand printed tag. That's an exact drawing of how I look. Yep, that young. That thin. That stylish. And, I have a blue dress like that too. (sigh)

The back of the tag has the sweetest message, "To Sally. From Ann. Thank you for Blue Mondays!"

Inside the package is the beautiful handmade blue and white mosaic tile star with a blue satin ribbon attached. Oh, you know that's going on my Christmas tree! And, when the tree comes down, I'll wrap it in its blue tissue to save for all my future Christmas trees. Hmm, I wonder how Ann knew that I'd like blue?

Thank you, Ann for being so generous. I will treasure this ornament for many years to come.

Pink Saturday - These Are Just Two of My Favorite Things

Beverly at How Sweet the Sound hosts Pink Saturday. Stop by her place to see the many other pink items people are sharing. If you care to join up, click on her sidebar button that looks just like this one on the left. You'll find all the instructions.

I'm keeping it short and sweet today.

A cup of coffee from this place tastes better than coffee from THAT place. Could it be the pink on the cup?

Mmm, I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream from the pink place, of course!

What flavor? Okay, you can get strawberry if you'd like pink ice cream. I'll take my favorite: pralines and cream.


Happy Pink Saturday!
