I love this shade of pink - not too light, not too dark... in fact, perfectly delicious. When I saw these carnations I had to buy a bunch. I think they set off this thrifted (would you believe 50 cents?) blue and white striped round vase just right. Happy beginning of summer everyone, and Happy Pink Saturday too!
Happy Pink Saturday. Carnations are my favorites - how perfect for today.
Your blog is so lovely. It is such a pleasure to get to know you and see you around the blogs.
Warm Regards,

Some scholars believe that the name "carnation" comes from "coronation" or "corone" (flower garlands), as it was one of the flowers used in Greek ceremonial crowns. Others think the name stems from the Greek carnis (flesh), which refers to the original color of the flower, or incarnacyon (incarnation), which refers to the incarnation of God made flesh.
