Truth be told, blue has always been my favorite color. Growing up, my bedroom was always blue and white and, depending on the season, I would add accents in pink or yellow. While the formal rooms in my home are decorated in a palette of brick red and golden yellow, I still love pink. And I love all shades of pink against all shades of blue.
Slate blue is deep and cool and, fading to the background in a gentlemanly, it allows all pinks to take center stage.
In some cases, the blue isn't even visible. Rather, all things pink are the focal point.
But sometimes, blue does hold its own with pink and, when it comes to flowers, oh what a beautiful coupling these two make!
When it comes to a favorite color, sometimes it is the backdrop against which that color presents itself that makes it most attractive.
Happy 1st Pink Saturday Birthday to Beverly at How Sweet the Sound, and greetings to all who are visiting by way of Beverly's weekly party. Tea and cakes for all!

Happy Pink Saturday, Arleen. I love the combination of pink and blue flowers, too. I often mix pink roses and blue hydrangeas from our garden in vases.
And, that cake is gorgeous!

before I discovered Pink saturday, I've always leaned to the blues too :-) Then I started participating and I've grown to love pinks dearly :-)
The flower vines climbing against the wall is a beauty and the different shapes of cloches too.
Of course, I would love to have a piece of the teacup cake :-)
Happy PS!
