Pink Saturday

I'm participating in Pink Saturday this week ......maybe a little different than the norm. I'm posting pink things that inspire me.

As the sound of music goes.......Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens, bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens,brown paper packages tied up with strings, these are a few of my favorite pink things.

In my mosaic you will find ....a painting by my favourite artist, pink roses of course, packages tied up in pink satin, my pink fairy and pink angel, a pink carousel horse
and most of all a pastel pink sunset.

And while we're at it a few facts about pink:

Pink is the color of happiness and is sometimes seen as lighthearted. For women who are often overworked and overburdened, an attraction to pink may speak of a desire for the more carefree days of childhood.

* In Japan, the color pink has a masculine association. The annual spring blooming of the pink-blossomed cherry trees (the Sakura) is said to represent the young Japanese warriors who fell in battle in the prime of life (the Samurai).

* Jaipur City is a foremost tourist attraction in India because of its superlative forts, grandiose palaces, vivacious temples, multicolored bazaars, pulsating streets, and its distinguished pink color to which the city owes its oft-used name "The Pink City".








* Marrakesh is another city associated with the color pink. It is sometimes refered to as the "Rose City" because of its salmon-pink colored buildings and the red clay of its terrain.




* Pink signifies happiness and joy in Catholicism. (never knew that)



* Pastries taste better when they come out of pink boxes or served on pink plates (it only works with sweets). Pink makes us crave sugar. (knew that!)

Happy Pink Saturday.......and if you're reading this a little early it's I'm posting it today as I won't get a chance to post it Friday.

May a little Grace touch your day,
