It's Pink Saturday!

Join in the fun of Pink Saturday! Our hostess, Beverly, at How Sweet the Sound, has lots more pink links for your viewing pleasure.

This little pretty, a gift from my stepdaughter, Beth, is very symbolic and special to me. I love the tiny little perfect pink roses.

One night, many years ago, the kids and I sat up well into the wee hours, having one of our marathon discussions about nothing in particular and everything in general. At one point, we were into some pretty abstract ideas and I posed the question: "How do you know you're a people? How do you know you're not just a butterfly dreaming you're a people?" (not a clue where that came from - I can be deep, but not that profound! I think I read it somewhere.) Anyway, the ensuing discussion was a hoot and we had a grand time proving and disproving each other's theories... and bonding.

Evidently that discussion stayed with my Beth because one time she gave me a lovely drawing she'd done of a dreaming butterfly. Then, somehow she managed to find this one perfect gift that combined not only my love of roses, but the symbolic butterfly too.

I keep it next to her photo in the living room as a sweet reminder of that special butterfly "thing" we share. The little flurries that float around inside when you turn it over are iridescent sparkles. They give it even more of a dreamy quality.

My little water globe is a treasure. :)
