A Touch of Pink


This morning I was lying in bed waiting for blog post inspiration. These freshly cut roses, yes from my garden,   I knew I must share and so this set me to thinking about the little touches of pink which pervade my home and life. Pink is so soothing, calming and pretty. As I searched for the pink items around my home I was pleasantly surprised with how it's subconsciously entering my life.

Is this because pink and it's varying hues are soothing, calming and pretty?

By the way aren't these roses the most divine shade of dusty pink and the scent is out of this world!

So here are some random pics of my subtle pink world...



My go to cake contribution for an event usually involves cupcakes layered with pink rose water icing. Whilst my efforts don't exactly resemble these from the Crabapple bakery cupcake cookbook, I do my best.












A bit of fun from Tarjay...I couldn't say no to those sweet pom poms




Circa 1982 Mikasa Silk Flowers. Maybe I have admired pink longer than I realised.




Royal Albert Moss Rose

















And last but certainly not least, a cute pink piggy money box my darling grown up son gifted me last Christmas because piggy's face looks so happy!




Is there a colour in your home/life which is not always glaringly obvious but pops out surprisingly here and there and gives you pleasure?
