*the pinkest of days*


what a lovely saturday my Mum, youngest sister & i had as we wandered around Queen Street mall. {i love that people always think Mum & i are sisters :) "No thats my oldest & my youngest & i have 3 more in between"}


ending up in this quintessentially pink shop


filled with the elegance of afternoon tea{we ended up having raspberry & pear loaf from a cafe nearby, & though the rasperry cheesecake & tirimasu seemed to sing to me, i had to banish that melody :) }


& the smiles of children


{or squeals of delight}


{...or the more heartfelt admiration}


adoring these


& loving these.


there is pink for the big girls


& shoes full of love


i was definately looking at these through rose coloured glasses


oh & crocheted scarves!


its not pink but, well...it sparkled at me!!!

Hope today this sparkles for you too!
{Please visit Beverly to find out more about her wonderful event!}


Happy Pink Saturday!

"i saw the angel in the {glass}
then carved {till it appeared}."
~ Michelangelo


white bows


a room full of light


showing love as the pearl


& luminous


flight...


a symphony of birthday wishes


wished upon a star


Today is pink lovehearts & white sprinkles, skipping lightheartedly & hope-ing indefinately...
