Pink party #1 and how it began

One of the participant of this pink party is someonevery famous on the blogosphère : Corey

Our friendship began thanks to antiques

I think you would have guessed

It began thanks to

 

a papier mache jewells box with angels on it .
A story that begins with angels just can be a wonderful story of friendship , of sharing ...

Tonight , I will make my pink diner to celebrate a pink evening to see la vie en rose and even if I'm nervous . I know that with friends , even if it is a contest , you always win ...you touch the sky thanks to their smiles , to their laughes , to their "joie de vivre "

Tomorrow , pictures of pink details , my pink meal with some recipes ( may be ) ,  pink smiles , pink games, pink stars ....
