MARY'S PINKS

   

              Pink Saturdays are usually a very light and whimsical theme for me. I enjoy the pretty in pink concept and the opportunity to lighten up the week. It can be a time to get my girly on, but I am just not feeling it right now. My decision was to go with what I am feeling, so I went back to the pictures that I had taken at Mary Cooper's house and looked through some of her art work again. It occurred to me how very lucky I am to have not only the memory of her original art, but some pictures of it as well. I would like to share a little of Mary's pink with you today. (please remember to click on the pictures to enlarge them) First, there is this ballet collage with the little pink birds. Mary's art always makes me think, sometimes makes me smile and is always memorable. Then there was this pillow covered in shades of pink with the fabulous velour texture. The third picture that I found was of this handmade quilt with the lovely pastels. Last, I would like to share a small picture from Mary's vase collection because it was all pastel and included this pink McCoy piece. The first time I layed eyes on this collection of vases, I remember grinning from ear to ear. The colors, sizes and styles were displayed exactly as I would have done it.  There are many more wonderful pictures that I will post from time to time, but right now I will leave you with this last collage piece that I was so very taken with in Mary's studio...she was a visionary.
            Please take a moment to visit Beverly at How Sweet the Sound. She is the lovely hostess of Pink Saturday's and you can find her post and a list of links to lots more pink.
♥, Susan

How lovely! Your blog is always such a pleasure to visit on Pink Saturday! Today it's sunny but most of this summer has been pretty gloomy in my corner of the world. Pink Saturday always gives me a little lift, especially if there isn't any sun outside!

Have a wonderful weekend filled with sunshine surrounded by your l♥ved ones! Life is good!

have to say my faves are: the collage of ballet dancers and pink birds (too cute!)and the quilt. I think I need something warm as that as it's cold now :-)

Happy pink Weekend!

Very sweet tribute post. The McCoy pottery collection is wonderful. I always wanted to start collecting pieces...but I stopped at one (chipped) bowl! :-)
