Pink Saturday - Galveston

It's time for another Pink Saturday! I have to say thank you to our wonderful host Beverly for putting this together for us each week! It's definately something to look forward to!!

Last weekend we went to Galveston. I had been there once before but I was so young I don't remember it. I've just seen pictures.
Galveston was devestated by a hurricane in 1900. As a result of the huge loss and damage sustained when the city was rebuilt it was raised by a sea wall 15 feet high. I love, love, love Galveston. It's just beautiful! At night there are live bands and people walking along the seawall. I did not see one person getting out of control! Everything was so orderly and nice...anyway..on with the post.

There were so many seashells. This astonished me because the other beaches we have been to didn't have near as many seashells as Galveston.

I got pink too... but it's not as bad as last year. I actually didn't go to work for a few days....

We stopped by this cute gift shop called Murdochs. It was so neat and had such cute fun things. I whipped out my phone and took some pictures. I knew I had to show these for PS!

I LOVED this jewelry box. Since my husband is a jeweler I was hoping he would appreciate how pretty it is and how bad I need it and get it for me....nope! It's still there...waiting to go home with someone...

We did take this pretty home and now she sits on my mantle!

My husband loves poker, so I had to take a picture of these guys... they were just too cute!

CC informed me that these pretties were actually alive before they were taken from the water to decorate our houses. I loved them but after hearing that they stayed on the shelf in Murdochs!

There were barrels and trays of pretty shells like this all over the store. And they were not expensive at all!

I wish I would have bought some. I have a fun idea to decorate a mirror with them... especially since we have no cable now! I NEED something to keep me occupied!

I LOVE starfish...

How pretty are these? Why did I pass up all these pretty things????

I guess next time I will just have to make up for it!! I LOVED this windchime. It was so pretty but just to delicate... I don't think it would have lasted more than a few weeks here!

But my most favorite pink of all is this.....

my baby's pretty pink cheeks!!!!

We had a lovely time and can't wait to go back! The beach was so clean and nice. There was no trash (we saw workers constantly picking up anything that was laying around) there was no seaweed...it was beautiful!!

Don't forget to stop by Beverly's wonderful blog to visit more Pink Saturday participants. You will not be disappointed! I love spending my Saturday mornings looking at everyones pink posts while drinking coffee. It's a GREAT way to start my weekend!

Last week I visited Elaine's blog. She was featuring a cute ad in a vintage 1960's LHJ magazine. She always has fun things for us! Pay her visit!!!

I hope you all have a wonderful Pink Saturday....I hope to be home all weekend cooking, resting and adjusting to no cable! It should be pretty interesting... I guess if I can get through this first weekend I can do it! I expect there to be lots more blog posts coming! Ha!
