It's a Zacatecas Silver Kinda Sunday

It's a Zacatecas Silver Kinda Sunday

My husband and son found me adoring drooling (let's be honest here) over this silver and turquoise necklace in a shop in Zacatecus, Mexico. Well...

it was close to my birthday... and...

I didn't know they had purchased it for me, but my husband waited until

he and friends of ours went to dinner and he gave it to me.

Isn't he one cool guy?

I'm linking to Gypsy Fish for

Silver Sunday

I truly enjoy Silver Sunday. I always thought I was

more of a "gold" kinda gal but Gypsy Fish has

certainly brought about an awareness of

beautiful things silver.

Pink Perla in the Paper!

Pink Perla in the Paper!

I was feeling so sorry for myself since in my home you would be very hard pressed to find any pink.

It all stems from having almost all testosterone-oriented household. When I was mothering my boys in the old days there just wasn't much use for pink.

So, alas, I can hardly find a dish, a book, a lamp, an article of clothing even that has pink on it!

Low and behold I open Facebook to see this posting made by my dear daughter-in-law in

La Jolla, California. "Perla", their Great Dane puppy is so pink. I believe she only has six black spots. You may know that few spots on an all white animal often-times means deafness.. and yes, Perla is deaf. She knows doggy sign language.

She made the paper to help support the local

Humane Society.

So here's my pink. I missed the deadline, however, I'm still celebrating Pink Saturday!
