Hello all my pinkie bloggers. Happy Pink Saturday to all of you. Thankyou Beverly from how sweet the sound for making this great day possible.
As most of you know by now, I live in the desert of AZ. The summers are too hot for anything much to bloom and so while most of you are enjoying the garden, mine is wilted and suffering from the intense heat.....BUT, having said that, we are now enjoying a climate that is in the 80's during the day and cold at night. That is great news for a second chance at seeing gorgeous blooms once again before the cold of winter. I decided to take a stroll thru my garden this morning and see what the heavens had surprised me with. I was delighted and wanted to share my bounty with you today. I hope you enjoy all the blooms and they brighten your day.
I don't have many blooms this late in the year, (not like spring) but what little I do have is so beautiful and smells so nice.
This is a rose from a mini rose tree.
This lavender rose smells like heaven, a pure delight for the senses.
This rose changes colors as it opens. Would you believe it starts out as a pink rose?
My hibiscus bloom almost 10 months out of the year. Sometimes the cold nights of winter freeze them. We have been known to get down to 17 degrees at night, but when the sun comes up, we usually get into the high 60' and 70's.
I was able to catch a picture of double blooms on this rose bush. I can see it from my kitchen window. It makes it very hard to think of fall when you see roses like this one.
Another sweet mini, altho not many roses now.
My honey perfume rose tree, this too smells delightful, very sweet.
Another hisbiscus with white veins, beautiful.
This is a little of what I created this week. I have some vintage jello molds and decided to make a pincushion from one that looks like a pie on top. I thinks it's so cute.
Also made some angel ornaments. It is that time of year isn't it. I hope you enjoyed my offering this week, and I hope you all have a great week.The winner of my pumpkin is........Leann from the Old Parsonage, please email me at cpeterson72@q.com with your address so I can get this to you as soon as possible. Congrats.

Lucky you, strolling in the garden at this time of year with such beauty, I must say I'm a little jealous. Happy PS and enjoy your garden.
I so enjoyed your flowers. Yep, especially the pink ones. They are eye-candy!! I thought we lived in a wild temperature fluctuating area but yours is even wilder!! I guess you are lucky to have anything bloom.....
Happy Pink Saturday!

Thank you to share your treasures. Happy PS :o)
So many pretty flowers; it must give you pleasure to look out your windows.
It's so lovely to see all these spring blooms! My favorite is the one that changes color. Your pie pincushion is so adorable too!! Hope you have a wonderful pink week!
Hi Char,

I am absolutely loving your blog post. The flowers are breathing some spring into my life as it rains like cats and dogs outside.
I have to say, I am in love with your pincushion. What a great idea. I am going back to check it out again.
Happy Pink Saturday.

Beautiful!!! Happy Pink Saturday! Winona
Your flowers are just lovely. It really is nice to see them. We've just put our garden to bed for the winter and things are looking very barren. I hope you are having a wonderful Pink Saturday.
Hi, Char,
Thank you for brightening my day with those beautiful roses and hibiscus. My garden struggles, too, during the hot Texas summer, but like yours, is enjoying the cooler autumn weather. I adore that sweet pin cushion. Also, your angel ornaments are so pretty! Have a lovely weekend, my friend! Vicki
Hello Ms. Char,
Just popped in to wish you a Happy Pink Saturday. Your roses are just beautiful and the pink goodies you made are just darling! That little jello mold pin cushion, what a clever idea.
I can only imagine 80º days. I'm sitting in front of a fireplace staring at a hail dusting that still has not melted from last night's storm. haha!
Have a great week and hope your Saturday is magical in every way.
Cheers! =D

Thanks for the walk through your garden! Here in Western New York we are closing up shop for the winter. All of the leaves are gone and there are certainly no blooms! Can't wait for Spring.
Hugs,
Jacalyn
beautiful flowers and so nice to see them at this time of year. Your pin cushion is fabulous and so very pink.
Happy Pink Saturday :)
Oh Char Happy Pink Saturday...
I love your pink roses this morning. Honey I could smell the fragrance as I scrolled. It was heavenly.
I want one of those little jello mold pin cushions. That is absolutely precious. So precious. What talents you have my sweet.
Now those little angel ornaments are cute too. The look good enough to eat. I am afraid my grandson would be trying.
Thank you for sharing your pinks today. Please stop by and say hi. I would love to share my pink post with you.
Country hugs sweetie...Sherry
Oh, so pretty, all those roses. We still have no snow, woo hoo, but it is raining and very cold, about 40 here today. The flowers brighten my day.
I have a question on your pincushion, will email you. Love it!
Happy Pink Saturday. Be sure to stop by my blog to participate in my gift certificate giveaway.
Such beautiful roses, and I love your pin cushion and pins and your sweet angels. You have been a busy bee, and it shows. Those are darling!
Happy Pink Saturday! Hope it's extra special! And congrats to Leann!

What an abundance of beautiful flower photos, they are so pretty.
Your pink ornaments are gorgeous too.
Thanks for your visit and the welcome message.
Have a nice weekend!
Hi Char, we also live in the desert southwest, and this is prime time for plants...us desert dwellers manage through the hot summer and our reward is NOW! Beautiful flowers!
hugs,
Barb
Wow! Your flowers are amazing, everything is so beautiful!...Christine
Gorgeous blooms!! and a very sweet pincushion.
Blessings!

Lucky you to have such beautiful roses at this time of the year. Up here in MI there are no more flowers. The one you mentioned that changes colors and starts out pink looks like a Peace rose or a Chicago Peace. Those are my two absolute favorites. I have had Peace roses get as big as saucers up here from time to time. And I really like the pin cushion you made. I don't know if it took you a long time to make, but it sure looks like it. You did such a nice job. Thanks for stopping by my blog.
Smiles,
Tricia
Congrats Leann!!!
YOur pin cushion is adorable!!
Happy Pink Saturday!
Hugs, Lisa
Well your pink roses are so delightful but I particularly love that honey perfume rose. Such a wonderful color and I am guessing it smells as good as its name. Also love your very creative pincushion. Have a great Pink Saturday.
Your flowers are beautiful. By the way, you can stop by any time for a visit. California is not that far. I would love to met you. Blessings, Martha
Happy Pink Saturday, Charlotte! Love the beautiful flowers! Your photos are great!
Your little pin cushion is too adorable! Lovely idea!
Have a wonderful weekend!

Beautiful roses! They are lots of work and I'm sure you spend plenty of time with these ones to look so beautiful. I can't imagine how quickly the temperature must change in Az. in one day! Love your ornaments and pin cushion. So pretty, just like the rest of your site! Have a wonderful weekend and happy PS. Sherri : )
I am a flower lover especially roses. Your roses are simply beautiful. Mine have been doing really well lately. Even more blooms than in the spring or summer. You re very creative and talented. I really liked all your little pink creations. Happy you left me a very nice comment.
I do so love that sweet pincushion. I have seen these little molds here and there at yard sales and thrifting-wish now that I had picked them up!!
I miss the flowers! They have all died back here, so thanks for the fix! Your pin cushion and angels are pretty little things too! Happy Pink Saturday and have a great weekend!

Hi Char,
First, thanks so much for your sweet comment on my blog this morning. I appreciated it and agree with you totally.
Next, I love your name because I have a cousin who's name is Charlene, and I've always called her "Char" for short.
Finally, I love your roses and I could almost smell them thru that screen, but most of all I adore your pincushion...just precious!
Deeply inhaling your beauties~how I miss our 25+ rose bushes we planted at our last house. I'm happy for you to be drinking in their beauty and fragrance. Nothing like a rose....
I didn't know you live in AZ~we're practically neighbors ;) My sis lives in Chandler.
What a great use for an old jello tin - a pin cushion! Oh, and your pink angels decorations are so sweet and pretty.
Gorgeous roses and oh my, the jello pin cushion is amazing! Tooo sweet. :0)
Gorgeous Blooms!

How pretty - and how amazing to have such perfect flowers in November.
Happy Pink Saturday - I'm sorry I'm so shamefully late, but trying to prepare for this show (middle of next week) has totally thrown me into panic mode, and I'm getting nowhere fast! Hence I haven't done my visiting (it didn't help I was teaching 2 classes Saturday, and 1 on Sunday).
Thank you for the beautiful flowers for Pink Saturday and for sharing those amazing little PJ's sewn with love for your little one! So SWEET! Thanks so much for sharing and have a fabulous Pink Saturday! Hugs, Coralie
