I was planning to write about my Valentine's traditions today because I LOVE traditions and I LOVE Valentine's Day, but I'll save that post for next week because I am SO excited about the color green today.
I stopped by one of my favorite places this morning – Volunteer Park Café – for a cup of tea. I was planning to take it with me until I saw the annual “Color Issue” of House Beautiful calling my name from the magazine rack. I scooped it up, along with latest issue of Martha Stewart Living. They were both calling my name with the color green.
I have blogged about
green before.
It was my “one and only” favorite color for most of the early to mid 90s. (My bridesmaid’s dresses were the most
gorgeous shade of light chartreuse in 1997… I still love them!)
As most of you
know, I’ve been on an orange kick for the past many years, but after devouring
every beautiful green page of House Beautiful this morning, I’m back in love
with green. I have a lot of green in my house and it has always felt so
comforting and so “me.” It truly makes my house feel like home. Living in
Seattle I am surrounded by green (thanks to the rain and the mild climate). It
is a healthy, comforting, calming, fresh and even, yes, romantic color.
I snapped these
photos of the House Beautiful magazine spreads with my phone so they’re not the
best, but I just had to share them with you. Sit back and soak up some green…. It’s
good for your soul.
In fact, I think I
will bust out my green purse today for a pop of spring color.
I am also going to order this beautiful necklace from Stella & Dot. Happy Valentine's Day to me! It will be the perfect spring accessory and pop of color.
My favorite pen!
Ok, I’m back in
love… if I’m not careful, this could become a series of green posts like my
pink series last year!
