HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY and WELCOME to Pink Saturday!
Today as we celebrate both, I thought it would be a great idea to celebrate with ELOISE! I hope you and your children/grandchildren/nieces, nephews, cousins, next door neighbors and their children, your dog, your cat and whomever else you can think of have read ELOISE! It is fantastic!
I have a special signed drawing of Eloise titled "Eloise as Fairy Princess Star Spangley". Since it is both PINK, festive and star-spangley, it is the perfect week to share.
Here is a close up of her "sparkley" PINK dress:
And of course you need a close up of her party shoes!
And finally, here is Hillary Knight's signature - I'm so honored!
Please visit Beverly at howsweetthesound.typepad.com and visit all the other Pink Saturday participants. Please have a SAFE and wonderful July 4th.
Have a SPARKLEY day and a better tomorrow!

I love Hilary Knight's illustrations, especially the ones of Eloise.
What a lovely treasure!
Best Wishes,
Kay

Oh but how I love Little Eloise and lucky you with a signed illustration of our royal princess! This is just beautiful. How lovely. Happy belated 4th and Pink Saturday to you both! Eloise will go down in history with curious George, Madeline and the like. We use to get tickets to the Eloise tea parties held annually at the Plaza! They were fabulous and second to none!!!! Pity all that is gone now. We looked forward to that time in the city. I really wish they would start doing that again. It's a great girly weekend away. Thanks so much for stopping by the blog and leaving such a kind message. My prayers are also with Bella as are yours. Thanks so much for coming to visit!

How lucky - you'll treasure the drawing for ever! Happy Pink Saturday and Happy 4th July (being from the UK, I hadn't realised it was Independence Day...).

Happy Pink Saturday and the 4th. Eloise is my favorite favorite book. There is a wonderful painting of her at the Plaza in their lobby. Great music too.
Happy Pink Saturday,
