La Vie en Rose ...

At my birth, a  little sparrow told me to believe that every thing would always turn out for the BeST ...




And each day, the early morning sky above my bedroom window brings a message from heaven that ...




... just plain tickles me PiNk...
Although I have a tendency to see life through rose coloured glasses anyway ...

I still like to raise a glass of this...




... and pray that, just like Lily the Pink,*
at this blessed time of Thanksgiving and Christmas...
... YOU, and your families too,
find yourselves in the PINK of health!

While we're on the subject of gratitude...
Thank you to the very enterprising and lovely Beverly for allowing me to be part of her
Pink Saturday and to my dear friend Mlle Fabulous French for all her help and encouragement!


PINK! It's more than a colour - it's a way of seeing the world!




*Based on the folk song "The Ballad Of Lydia Pinkham", "Lily the Pink" was a surprise hit, becoming the Christmas #1 in the UK singles chart for four weeks, in December 1968.

Can't think of a famous quote that says 'communication makes the world go round' so you 'll just have to get my clumsy way of putting it instead ;-) Your comments are precious. Thanks for dropping by!
