In the Pink!





Pink, pink, you stink!
Did you ever say that as a child?
All the girls when growing up loved pink;
so just to be different I chose yellow.
Yellow was quite maligned and out of favor.
It was a happy color just for me.

As I have gotten much older
I am learning to enjoy Pink.
I can't even believe I am saying that,
as I ignored Pink for way too long.
But, yes!  All of a sudden I am liking Pink.
It surprises me still.

Pink is beginning to appear on my tea table
and in my china cupboard.
Tea time is a delight of the color Pink.

What is your favorite color?
Has it changed as you have gotten older?
I still love yellow, don't get me wrong;
but Pink can stay around and tickle me with delight.

  1. Beautiful pink tea setting. Is that pink teapot a Sadler? It's lovely! I like the color of pink, but my all-time favorite color that has never changed is light blue.

  2. Beautiful pink, beautiful table, and I "know" there is a beautiful yard just beyond the windows. I have a majority of pink teawares, but I've been adding a lot of violet recently. Hmm... is purple my new favorite color?

  3. I used to favor periwinkle blue. Now it's aqua and brown. It's so restful.

  4. Lovely soft colors... such pretty photos. And, no, I never heard that saying! When I was younger, my bedroom walls were painted gold, but now, I seem to favor a softer green palate.

  5. Pink was always my favorite color but now I'm much more likely to choose the aqua/turquoise colors. I've heard our tastes change as we age ... I do wonder why that is!

  6. Blue has always been, and continues to be my favourite colour. My mother always said that I looked best in pink, though, and so when she made clothes for my sister and me, she had the blue ones and I had the pink ones. So I avoided pink for many years. And I think it really fell out of favour, especially in fashion, until a few years ago. Now, I'm liking pink more (and have to admit my mother is right about pink suiting me.)
    Lovely pink photos, Laura.

  7. Orange is my favorite. Like you, I shunned pink for a long time. But I'm learning to love it too. That window scene is magnificent!

  8. Yellow was always my fave color as a kid -- or 'lellow' as I called it. I like pink fine now -- especially really rich, hot pinks. But I think my favorite is the palette that starts at aqua and ends at rich teal or turquoise!

  9. Thank you for your visit. I love pink, and your setting is so inviting. The perfect place for a heart to heart with a dear friend. It's funny, as a young girl I didn't really like pink, but now that I have grown up, I love every shade of pink! xo Lidy@FrenchGardenHouse

  10. What a HAPPY image... And my FAVE color...*swoon*... ;o) LOVE that pink-edged cloth... It's never too late of pink! I've loved the color all my life, even as a baby, my Mom says. I love it even more as I grow older and I use it a lot in my art work and wardrobe especially. It is the color of love and happiness. :o) Pink is the color of my soul. ((I do have a great fancy for aqua blue too. ;o) Happy Days, Marilyn ((HUGS))

  11. I love the colour pink and all pastel shades of spring.

    I love the colour blue also for my grandson.

    You colour my world with love.
    Thanks for all you share.

    Love Jeanne

  12. A pretty table setting. I like pale pink - it can be a refreshing change after all the reds and greens of the Christmas season. However, my favourite colour is blue.

  13. I used to love the bright intense colors of zinnias but as I grow older I'm drawn to the softer pastels. I love a bouquet on my coffee table all times of year .

  16. I like pink in small doses; it can be charming. And it's good to change! :) My fave is teal blue/green.
