Orange You Glad It's Wednesday?

Hello,

Sorry about the corny title, I couldn't resist. I guess I'm having too much fun for serious titles.

So...today is day three and that means ORANGE.

Here's what I came up with.

Looking forward to tomorrow, which will be a day dedicated to the color orange. And just think, orange used to be one of my least favorite colors.  But as my old friend Dan always says when we happen to cross paths (no matter how long it's been -- 2 years or 2 days), "You've Chaannnged".  He means it in a loving, silly sorta way, and I will forever love him for saying it because it's true, I do change. I'm constantly changing... and as it goes, I've changed my opinion of the color orange.

Have a great day, 
l.

**thanks to all the people who've decided to participate. As of now,  I'm going to stop adding people to the list so I can find time to look around at everyone's photos. I'll definitely be hosting Color Week again, though.**

Color Me Pretty: A Week of Color

Hello there,

It's Monday and the beginning of a week of color around here --something I have looked forward to all weekend. I wanted to say thanks to all the lovely people who've decided to participate. I hope you have fun photographing some color in your world.

To kick off the week,  here's what I snapped for Green Monday.

avocado for lunch.

*if you commented saying you wanted to join in and aren't on the list above, it's because your comment didn't reveal your email address or a link to your blog. I tried to contact you, but it bounced back. I will be happy to add you if you drop me a line*

Color week begins tomorrow. Join in if you like.

In the meantime, here are some very colorful rooms I would love to call my own.
All photos found via Domino. 

We once had green kitchen walls like this. The rest of the space wasn't nearly as nice, but this photo definitely makes me miss my old kitchen on Main Street in Portland, Oregon. 


This little alcove is pure eye candy. I could sit in that chair, smelling those flowers all day long.


And another cozy space with a beautiful paint color. I would love to drink wine while chatting with my best girlfriend at that table. A cup of tea and a crossword might be nice there too.

See you tomorrow.

Hi there.
I'm feeling a little on the quiet side today, which probably has a lot to do with my staying up way later than usual last night. We had a great night out seeing Destroyer with some friends, beginning with a very  peculiar cab ride to the venue. I don't think I've ever experienced such strange driving habits...my friend quietly said, "I'm going to need a ginger ale after this ride", and I couldn't have agreed more.  Brake. Happy.

Destroyer was quite good, although I'm convinced that I'm getting too old for rock shows. Call me a granny, but I really wished I had a folding chair a couple of times during the show. That and some sensible shoes.

Next week is shaping up to be a nice color week around here. Several people are participating and I will be linking everyone on Monday. Feel free to join in anytime.
Looking forward.

Have a good weekend,
l.

noticing...

all the bits of color around my house.

I always have fun stopping to take a look around my space. We like color, and I'm noticing we really like green, especially around/in our kitchen.

Anyone up for a color week sometime soon? I think I'll plan on doing one next week. Join in if you like.

Monday: Green (of course)
Tuesday: Yellow
Wednesday: Orange
Thursday: Pink/Red
Friday: Blue

Have a good day,
L.

p.s. I haven't forgotten the weekend project photos I mentioned the other day, I just keep getting distracted.

**For those unfamiliar with color week, here's a quick explanation. Every day of the week is dedicated to a color (see above) and participation only involves taking and posting photos that include the color of the day. The photo or photos can be of anything, although I think I'm going to focus on the colors found in my home. No rules, though. Hope that helps.**

Just a quick hello. Today flew by. Sometimes Mondays do that in my world.

My plan is to say hello tomorrow and show a few photos of projects I completed over the weekend.  Until then...

Nighty night,
L.

It happened. The few degrees warmer I was looking for earlier in the week finally arrived. What a glorious day. And to top it off, it's Friday.  I can hardly contain myself.

Have a good weekend,
L.

baubles

A couple of new rings to add to my collection.
The top ring was a gift from zee husband and the bottom one was a birthday gift to me from me.

Both are quite lovely.

I'm in the middle of some serious Spring cleaning. I'm starting with my closet, which means out with the warm and cozy sweaters, skirts, and pants and in with the comfy and light dresses, tops, and skirts. Spring cleaning is one of my favorite things --I feel like I just got a whole new wardrobe.

More soon,
L.
