Another wonderful Pink Saturday is upon us. It's been a very rainy cool week in Nebraska. My plants and flowers are enjoying the moisture but now need some warm humid weather to burst into bloom. My pink this week is a couple of items I have put together outside this week. I rearranged my porch swing and added an old quilt I usually put out for Valentine's but had a little aha! moment and to the swing it has come. My swing cushion and pillows I sewed out of old vintage tablecloths and one side was a pinkish/red flower with some green and whites which I usually use but the reverse is a pink/red and white almost paisley like flower pattern and when I put the quilt over the back of my red swing it sort of all came together and I really liked it.
The quilt up close. It really is a worn old quilt that has ragged edges but I love it and use it many ways.
Next I have a wonderful vintage pink tub I've used just about everywhere and this year I put a little dirt in it and planted some flowers in it along side my house in a flower bed.
Well.... for many more wonderful Pink Saturday posts please pop on over to Beverly's at How Sweet the Sound blog. Enjoy your Saturday and get whisked away in a Pink Saturday getaway :)

Yep, I am LOVING that swing...and the whole porch for that matter. I can't keep the dogs from taking the stuff off my porch....I'm afraid I will NEVER have a picture perfect porch!!

Worn quilts are the best ones!! My mom started buying quilts over 30 years ago hand made but new and they treasured by the whole family. I have several and so do my brother and sister! We will use them until they fall apart and we use the scraps to make something new!
Thanks for sharing yours!
Happy Pink Saturday!
Hugs, Lisa

That is just the most welcoming of porch swings. My husband really wants one! Happy Pink Saturday as I continue to visit around.
