Pink Saturday


Happy Pink Saturday everyone, thanks for stopping by. Are your tulips in bloom yet?  Loving these rusty, vintage looking pink ones at the fabulous Market Imports here in Raleigh.


They also have garden 'stuff' like you've never seen - acres of pottery, metal, animals, fountains, statues........and a huge flock of very pink flamingos.  I hope to see these gorgeous birds by the zillion when flying over the Okavango Delta in Botswana next month!


Those ceramic pots above are actually fountains. 
Inside the store, lots of imported items.  Love the green jars with metal lids, but look at those old Asian pink window shutters - wouldn't they be fun to play with!


I'll be sharing more interesting finds from Market Imports soon.  One can spend hours there as the stock is huge and many items quite unusual. 

Head on over now to visit our Pink Saturday hostess Beverly at How Sweet The Sound - lots more lovely pink to see.

    I adore flamingos. Have several in my backyard and a few strolling around the inside of the house. They are just so stinkin cute. Thank you for sharing this special visit with me today. I have so enjoyed myself.

  4. Happy Pink Saturday, Mary. I love this place, too. And, I've actually been entertaining the idea of a pink flamingo. I think one would be perfect a the foot of the bridge that cross our creek bed.

  14. Love those pinks - especially the shutters.
    The Wisteria - just beautiful. Ours finally began to bloom in earnest last year, after 11 years. We won't see blooms until late May or early June.

  15. You changed your name? Glad I found you again. I was so blessed to meet the lovely Jeanne on my birthday party rounds. She is so so special. I have some cool flamingos from Fla. to share soon. I love those shutters.
    Have fun with the girls.
    Love Claudie

  19. Mary, thank you so much for stopping by and greeting me in my first PS.
    Your pictures are really lovely and I think you had the best time on this little "treasure hunt". I really love these types of shops.
    Hope to see you next Saturday, but until then, have a wonderful week.
    Hugs, Erika

  22. I have to keep my husband out of garden places like this one! We'd have stone statues all over the place if I didn't!

    Thanks so much for your sweet birthday wishes. I had a lovely one this year!

  23. Hi Mary,

    Oh my goodness - I am just now getting caught up on blog visits and love your new blog. The banner is beautiful and as usual your photographs are fabulous. Love - love the old faded pinks you found - the pink shutters are my favorites - so soft and weathered. Also love the old horse shoe you used for a paperweight.

    I am looking forward to seeing more of your flea market photos.
    Have a lovely week.
    Blessings,
    Erin

  25. Hi Mary, another shopping experience that sounds so interesting. Somehow I must find time to visit Raleigh again. I love the tulips and all the pink items you shared. It puts me in mind of Suzanna's place.

    Your new blog is fun and I think you are enjoying it too. I'm glad.

    My cousin Marilyn is here until this Thursday. Then some time at last to do some gardening etc. I am chomping at the bit to get the garden gloves on and get some new flowers planted. Last summer was a lost cause in the garden because we were out West for so long. Plus my computer time is less with company to entertain. I am just now working on PS visits.

    Have a happy day tomorrow.
    love and hugs, Jeanne
