a week of color: red (and pink)

jon and i just returned from a long weekend on the oregon coast. how i wish we could have stayed for the month. it was beautiful. the weather was perfect. we really enjoyed our time together, and we were able to spend time with my brother and his girlfriend when they came for part of the time.

i want to continue to feel like i am on a bit of a vacation, so this week will be about photos i think...

i have been enjoying kayte's blog for a little while now and was delighted to discover that she is prompting her blog readers to participate in a week of color this first week of july. today is all about the pink and red...and you know i love to bring on the pink (and the buttons)!

here are the pink and red things finding their way into the little room today:

pink trim
trim that will make its way onto flags

bring on the pink

a little of heather's freshcut fabric to become selma bags and totes

red buttons

vintage red buttons found in a delightful shop near cannon beach

How are pink and red making an appearance in your life today?

I often wish that I was better at sewing so I could justify buying beautiful fabric and buttons. I love the ones you've posted here. That red anchor button is lovely!

I adore those red buttons, especially the shiny and jeweled on in the center!

I have been on two vacations in the past little while and I'm finding it VERY hard to get back into the swing of blogging and commenting on blogs. Why is that, I wonder?

Lovely photos... I love your interpretation of the week of color challenge.

Thankfully, pink & red have appeared through the beauty of your photos.
:-)
Also, through my snack of watermelon & cherries - Yay!
I visited Oregon last year near, Crater Lake - incredible. I have never seen such a blue as that lake.
