Pretty in PINK on Tybee Island...

Here we are on Tybee Island in Georgia... I found a "Luscious Little Cottage" to stay... there are several cottages to rent...
but I think this one is perfect for a PINK weekend...
Nice kitchen and sitting area...

I hope the birds outside the window won't be too noisy... afterall this is the sleeping porch...
Shall we explore around the island

I adore grass grow on the beach... and lighthouses...

Beautiful native birds...
Oooh look we can surf... lessons anyone?My towel got soaked.... let's head back clean up and explore the town... If you need to dry your towels... pop them in the dryer... there are more dry ones in the basket...Anyone ready for a cold beverage... I hear this is the oldest bar on the island...
Love the graffiti on the fences... Ooooh look a flip flop sale... I'm sooooo in... Hey... wait a minute I see someone I know... please leave me a couple size 7... be right back...
Welllll... girls... we're heading over here... the lady I was just speaking to is Diane and she has invited us over to her cottage...
We can sit here and chat over some cocktails...
and dine here on some fabulous island delights...
Thank you for a lovely evening Diane... I'm ready to turn in... it's back to the sleeping porch for moi...
I hope everybody ENJOYED their time on Tybee Island... now don't forget to visit the other Pink Saturday posts hosted by Beverly of How Sweet the Sound!

Thanks for the tour. Makes me wanna stay on that lovely cottage as well. Nice window shutters that's painted in pink. And based on your pictures, it's not just the cottage that's lovely but it's surroundings as well

Happy Pink Saturday!

We always have such fun on our jaunts- but I'm exhausted from our quick trip. I think a long, hot soak may be just what I need... and a splash of wine.

Cindy said...

Tybee Island looks like a great place to go for a holiday :-) As always, your paintings are fantastic -- love the pink cottage!! And love the shot of the fence with the flamingo and pink chair. And the black & white zebra print chairs with the pink cushions :-)

I love Tybee Island. I have been there several times. It seems almost like a place time forgot. No high rises, no franchise stores or restaurants....a good old fashioned beach community. Great paintings!!
Hugs,

Ohhhhhhhhhh!!!!!! Our favorite place is Tybee Island- well, right next to Savannah. We love the boiled peanuts at the gas stations and the sweet tea to die for. Thank you for sharing the pics. We took our RV and stayed at Skidaway Island. Fun, fun, fun and then daddy took the T-bird away (driving the RV back to WI :)
Thanks for the sweet comment on my blog.

Fifi, What a gift you have of taking us away on these tours., to other islands, to other far away places! I love every minute of these trips! ;) Great Pink Post! Love, Love, Love you art! I got the larger item today in the mail that I placed the highest bid on! I want it for myself...but keep thinking how grand of a gift it would make for an artist friend of mine. I'll have to fight with myself over this one! lol., Hey, thanks so much for leaving a comment on my nieces' new blog for her College project., she got so excited when she seen so many comments that she posted again with a Southern Cornbread recipe from Paula Deen., she's so cute. You have a great evening! I can't wait till my notecards arrive., I'm sooooo excited to get them too! Thanks friend! ~CC Catherine

Petunia said...

Dearest Fifi:

I have had a simply monsterously, awful day. This just does not happen to me often and when it does, I am set for a fit and not suitable for my public. I feel very badly that you didn't get to see me at the Island today but hope that in the very near future I will be well and out and about again.

I'm sure your guests had a lovely time dispite my absence after all, Fifi, they did have you as their hostess.

Sincerely,
Petunia who is in such a state her crown isn't even a comfort.
