~ The Full Pink Moon...
For those who follow the moon cycles, like me....
You will be aware we have the full pink moon this week.
This moon marks the appearance of pink ground Phlox, an early pink flower...
The amount of hope in the air during a full pink moon makes it the best time to ask some one to marry....
~ Taken from The Girl Who chased The Moon....
Pink for as long as I can remember has been my favourite colour!
~ and because we have the full pink moon this week, I thought my post would simply be a post of giddy pink thoughts and of course pink pretty pictures.......
Libby Page's beautiful book full to the brim of pink....
A celebration of the colour itself in all its glory!

If the colour pink was to have a smell, how best would you describe this?.....
"A beautiful dusky rose...in full bloom or a strawberry ice cream on the warmest day ever."..
"Cerise pink, pale pink, candy pink, shocking pink" !
I would have the world made up of all the shades.......

~ Pink for me is feelings of comfort, happiness and love...
I always add a dash here and there....
Let's just face it...... Pink ....just makes the world go around!!

~ Do you have a colour that makes you feel happy, fun loving, or even more alive, when either worn or used to decorate or embellish? I wonder...
Or like me, is there a colour that makes you feel giddy?

Oh my goodness, this post is just too beautiful! Beautiful words from you and Oscar Wilde, beautiful pictures and beautiful thoughts.
ReplyDeleteI had not thought about colours having smells, but you are quite right about strawberry ice cream on the warmest day, that is exactly how pink would smell!
My favourite colour is turquoise blue; it always reminds me of summer days from my childhood. Summers back then were (in my imagination) warm and sunny and coloured all over in turquoise blue. Barbara x
Oh! My Goodness! Oh! Dear! I'm cracking up already, have'nt even started yet....! :).
ReplyDeletePINK...PINK...PINK...! LOVE IT...LOVE IT...LOVE IT...! :).
I've loved it from the day l was born....I was born you know...I just did'nt happen..! HeHe!
If you've read my Blog, you will see the reason, of my love for Pink! Sicilian women, are supposed to know the sex of their child before it is born...Mia Mama! prepare 'everything' in Pink. And, l came along, so for the first 12-14 months l was dressed in Pink..Dresses, cardies, shoes...etc..! Fortunately, back in those days photos were in black/white, so, the Pink outfits came out, white.....Phew!
So, all my life, l've been in LOVE with the colour...PINK!
There's very little that 'I Don't' know about Pink!
It represents Compassion, Nurturing and Love.
Unconditional Love...and the giving and receiving of nurturing.
Pink is feminine, romantic, affectionate and intimate.
In Psychology it's a sign of hope...!
Just thought of a friend of mine, who passed away some years ago now...Something he always said....As l dress in Pink quite a lot, the way l act, speak, generally behave, people have thought l was.....Well....Gay! HeHe!
Far from the truth...I'm afraid...
He used to say..."Willie's a Kit-Kat....Not a Curly-Wurley...".
Lovely character....Miss him!
I bias perhaps...BUT...This has to be the best post ever Maria....Love It....!
As l usually do, l send your posts onto my daughter, she'll love seeing the Pink ballet shoes, as l still have hers in the wardrobe...!
Ah! Wonderful...I could go on forever....!
Thankyou Maria...Thankyou...!
From the heart and mind of a true 'PINK' Sicilian.....Bless!

Oh you've left me feeling tickled pink! A very pretty post. We still have lots of ballet shoes in our house, they are just so sweet. I like blues and purples but I think that's because I always feel good when wearing those colours. I loved the card I think every woman should carry a copy of this in her bag. Have a lovely week.

ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty-in-pink post Maria! I love the pink teapot ... the perfect pot for tea with Mrs. Thriftwood!

I'll have to watch out for that pink moon as the skies are clear for the next few days. Have a great week! Wendy xox
ReplyDeleteSo many pretty pink items - I think I have basket envy! :) I too have kept my daughter's first pair of ballet shoes and I will be looking out for the pink moon. Best wishes, Pj x
