PINK SATURDAY




A couple of weeks ago I saw some pink wedding and bridesmaids dresses on another blog and it reminded me of the pink dresses my bridesmaids wore. Our professional pictures were only in black and white, but this picture was taken with my little Brownie camera. It had faded a lot. This is the best I could do with restoration. 


I found this picture of me and my daughter when she was a baby taken back in 1960. After she was born I couldn't fit into hardly any of my clothes. This dress was one thing that fit and, of course, it was my favorite color - PINK. I don't think the couch was quite as dirty as it looked in the picture. I'm blaming it on the faded original picture that I tried to restore on the computer.

We painted our bathroom pink. The tile in there was pink and blue, so naturally I would want to paint it pink. This is our son brushing his teeth in our PINK bathroom. This picture was taken in about 1964. We got pretty carried away with pink paint when we lived in that house. That house belonged to the church where my hubby was the minister, and the outside needed repainting. They let us choose the color. Guess what color we chose? (I think it was probably my idea) - PINK. Big mistake. It turned out looking like Pepto Bismol. They didn't leave it that color too long. We still laugh about it every time we think about it.

  8. Hi Charlotte,
    I guess you all really stuck out in the crowd with a pink house! Seriously I have seen pink houses before and very tastefully done as well.
    God bless,

    You always have the best photos from your youth and such. I love them. I think your parents must have taken a ton of photos of you all! It's a GOOOOD thing though.

    But I can just see it in my mind. HA!
    Be blessed,
