Mackinac Pinks

We made a trip to Mackinac Island for a day and while there I took a few photos of pinks that I saw along the way. I will be linking up with Beverly at How Sweet the Sound for Pink Saturday, so take a few minutes to drop over and visit some wonderful pinkie bloggers!

Our first stop was at the coffee shop, The Beanery, where my daughter's friend works.  I must say she made a wonderful mocha for me! One of the best I've had!




Then we rented bikes and rode around the island. I just love, love doing that. The island does not allow cars, so it is a most beautiful and relaxing ride. You just have to avoid the occasional horse droppings!

And the last thing before we left was to drool over the fudge!
Last week, I highlighted one of my favorite blogs, but never had time to go visiting for Pink Saturday, so I will try again. If you'd love to see a wonderful, art-filled, inspirational blog, stop over to visit Pat at The Artful Diva.  She is great to share techniques and tutorials that I have learned so much from.

So, everyone, Think Pink! And head over to Beverly's to enjoy more pink finery! Happy Pink Saturday!

What fun - and yes, I'll have to have a mocha cappucino (I always have the ordinary one... no more, lol). Temptress, lol lol lol - there goes the diet.

Happy Pink Saturday Tricia Sweetie...
Oh what a beautiful share. Thank you so much for taking me along to Mackinac Island for the day as well. I so enjoyed strolling along and window shopping. I could smell the mocha, oooh what a wonderful way to wake up this morning. SO delightful.
Loved that gorgeous arrangement they had on their table. So inviting.

I could feel the wind blow through my hair as I pedaled along with you this morning. That pink bike was the best choice. I loved passing by the gorgeous flowers. So colorful. The bleeding hearts were my favorite of course.

That Pink Pony at number 105 was beautiful. Love stained glass and this piece was so gorgeous. I bet it is stunning when the light pours through during the day.

Oh my gosh, fudge. Yummy, I am afraid I would still be there drooling over it. Love fudge. Chocolate with pecans or walnuts is my favorite.

So tickled you highlighted Pat, her blog is a treasure. She is so giving of her knowledge.

Hope you have a beautiful weekend sweetie. Many country hugs from Phoenix, Sherry

Beautiful pinks! Beautiful Michigan pinks! I was hoping to see some more of Michigan! It's been 22 years since I've been to Mackinac Island, one of the places in Michigan I love!

Your welcome for the follow and thank you, too, for following me. I look forward to seeing more of your art and hearing more about Michigan. We love Michigan and especially Lake Michigan! Have a great vacation!

I responded to your comment at my blog too. :-)

Blessings!
