Pretty Pink Roses a Symbol of Love and Gratitude

The pink rose is a symbol of Love and Appreciation

Pink roses have a rich history that comes from being one of first roses to be cultivated. Over time, discoveries of new rose species and the development of modern hybridization techniques would introduce many new colors of roses. As more colors and types of roses entered the garden and nurseries, each began to take on their own meanings. Roses in general are considered to be symbols for love and gratitude. The pink rose was the most prevalent among the old garden roses; it was most strongly associated with these sentiments. Pink roses also now carry a connotation of grace and elegance, as well as sweetness and poetic romance. Different shades of pink also carry their own significance. Dark pink roses are symbolic of gratitude and appreciation, and are a traditional way to send a message of gratitude. Light pink roses are associated with gentleness and admiration, and can also be used as an expression of sympathy.Now you can express your love, gratitude and sweetness with these lovely decorative bobby pins from Shop Polka Dots.

Etsy Treasury

Etsy.com artists and shoppers create treasuries. They seek out and select items from among the millions listed and add them to a treasury for all to see.

I'm so excited my Music Lovers necklace was included in a treasury this week. I am honored by the recognition.Please join me in celebrating this recognition. Wish me luck. Perhaps it will draw attention to one of my etsy shops. It would be wonderful to have some sales this weekend!  To visit my shop please CLICK HERE  to visit my other etsy shop Be Well Gifts please CLICK HERE

Etsy of Artfire

I have shops on both etsy and artfire. I have been honored with inclusion in treasuries and collections at both sites. Today I had a little light bulb moment and I thought I could start featuring shops here.
A spotlight on one of your shops. At gifts by Katherine I promote others shops too. So why not here. Please let me know if you have an etsy shop or an artfire shop. Just  email me your shop link and information for consideration.

Hoping you have a successful week. Hugs, Katherine

A New Year A New Beginning

A New Year is nearly here, 2011! I am celebrating the new year and its new beginning with a continued positive attitude, gratitude and optimism. I know this year will be my year of success! I'm making changes at  my Gifts By Katherine website and I will be rolling out a new hot spot page in January. I'm enjoying writing this blog ( not sure why I didn't do this earlier for my shops website) and I know this will be the year that people will find my shops . Blue Iris Gifts, shopPolka Dots, Be Well Gifts , Made It For You and Buy Avon online too.

 I've always enjoyed blogging. My personal blog Katherines Corner brings me many smiles. This new blog is proving to do the same thing. New friends, new blogs to follow, and a renewed sense of possibilities.

So as you greet the new year I leave you with this simple message; A New Year, a new beginning and new possibilities await you. Greet them with a positive attitude and great things are possible. Happy New Year!
