Pink Saturday Goes to Colorado

 

Greetings, Pink Saturday friends, from beautiful Breckenridge, Colorado

Actually these greetings are coming from my desk in New York City. I arrived back last night after a totally uneventful day of travel and a fabulous week in Breckenridge. My goal for this trip was a change of scenery and it turned out to be so much more. I spent time with family -- a definite bonus -- and blog friends Pat and Vinnie, who may be the best tour guides ever. I walked a lot, swam, went for a spa treatment and spent hours enjoying the extraordinary scenery. 

There will be several more posts about my travels in Colorado, but this post is a special Pink Saturday post. From my first day in Breckenridge I started to notice the color pink around me and decided I'd do an all pink post starting with the glimmers of pink in the sky. 

These bright beauties greeted me on my walk down Main Street.

I did very little shopping on this trip, except for window shopping. There were lots of cute things calling out to me, but in the interest of Sensible Spending June, I kept my shopping to window shopping and window photography. 

The pink bench called out to me and I think the pillow may have been custom made. I did contemplate buying the pillow -- I've never seen a Buttercup pillow before -- but while I was contemplating the pillow went home with another Buttercup. Happily I have the photograph to keep as a sweet memory.

I feel as though I followed my bliss into the mountains and

 left a piece of my heart in Colorado.  

I spent a fabulous afternoon at the South Park City Museum in Fairplay, Colorado with Pat and Vinnie. There are forty authentic buildings from the days of the Colorado gold rush mining camps. I found it fascinating and the Museum will get an entire post, but this pink room (from an original saloon of the era) deserves to be featured on Pink Saturday. For anyone who watched "Gunsmoke" back in the fifties, you'll appreciate that I fully expected to see Miss Kitty and Marshall Dillon walk in any minute.  

I've got one more "pink" picture, but it will be featured in a Monkey Monday post. There was a little drama with Pep's love life which I'll be sharing tomorrow. 

As ever, thanks for visiting and have a great week!
