Pink Saturday ~ Mini Shoe Collection & An Award!

Hello and welcome to my Pink Saturday post, hosted originally for us Pink Ladies over at Beverly's How Sweet the Sound. I look forward to these posts because well, obviously I love the color pink! It is such a soothing color to me. I have the usual items in pink: handbags, some clothing, some high heels, jewelry, baseball caps, etc. But when I discovered I could collect mini pink high heeled shoes....oh boy! Watch out!



Here is what I have so far. Not a very large collection but enough to fill this small curio:


Also today I'd like to present an award, given to me by sweet Mary over at Crash n Smash.

This is the Pink Lemonade Award. How appropriate on Pink Saturday! Thank you, Mary! How sweet! Now I of course, I want some Pink lemonade!
