Pretty In Pink

Enjoy visiting The Brambleberry Cottage for 14 Days of February.

Pink is my favorite color, but finding things throughout the house that are pink wasn't so easy. I do have three Glynda Turley rose pictures above my piano. This one can be hung either horizontally or vertically. It fits this way because my piano is an upright grand and my ceilings are just the common height in ranch style homes of the '80's.
Looking at last summer's flower pictures from the yard I did see an abundance of pink. Geraniums...

Pink tulips...oh my, I am READY for SPRING!!
Rose of Sharon, one of Wally's favorites.
Wally's Father's Day rose--very fragrant and a favorite to cut and share with his mom and dad.
My pink lilies.
Phlox in late summer.
There are a few other little pink things here and there that warm my heart each day.

On Angel's Wings

This will be my first attempt to link to a party. I have angels all over the house. This one is above the fireplace in the living room. That brick wall is not my style but it is a LARGE presence so my late sweetie drilled holes with a masonry bit so I could have this angel stay up on the wall and not fly to the floor.
These two sweet things were my Grandmother's .
They are in my "angel" bathroom with several others on the walls and counter top.
The angel you see below was a sand casted piece that I found at the Greeley Arts Picnic one July. It is made of concrete! I'd sure like to see how that is done someday.
This angel and child were a gift from my own angel girl, Sarah. She is truly a miracle and one of God's best gifts to us.
There are many more angels around the house and yard, but loading pictures takes forever with my connections. So this will have to do.

Barn Quilts

A goal of mine for this year is to find all the Barn Quilts in Morgan County. Apparently Morgan County is the first one in Colorado to be a part of this tradition that is more popular in the eastern United States. The one below is in downtown Fort Morgan and is one of my favorites.

The block is on the back side of the business, along with this sign for the Flower Shop.
Visiting all the sites of the blocks may take a few weeks/months. Come back to see another one in a few days as I stopped in several locations for pictures late this afternoon. A few I found had weird shadows after the sun came out so I'll need to go again when the sun is higher.
