  • Colour Me Happy Wednesday :: Olive Green

    by

    in

    This is probably not my favourite end of the green spectrum but I do like the versatility of olive green. The etsy colour search doesn’t really deal very well with this colour in either the new or the old search tool. My keyword search yielded many variations on the colour but here’s what I found:…

  • Colour Me Happy Wednesday :: Dark Green

    I love green, but I think you already know that. It’s a colour that just attracts me. I wear it, I eat off it (placemats) and I even walk on it (rug). So finding three and only three for dark green has been a mammoth task for the person that does not like to eliminate…

  • Sweetness and Light :: Gabrielle Kai Photography

    in

    In my quest for light blue inspiration this week I stumbled upon a single photo by Gabrielle Kai. I was going to include that photo (the one with the raspberries) but then decided to save her work for a whole post of it’s own. I’m so enchanted by the sweetness and light in her works.…

  • Colour Me Happy Wednesday :: Light Blue

    by

    I seem to have chosen quite a few variations on the colour today. I’m not really a blue person, I seem to always go for green. But I do like my choice for today. They are: TOP: John W Golden’s Pal Roundbot Print. I’m a bit of a fan of John’s quirky prints and I…

  • Colour Me Happy Wednesday :: Chocolate

    by

    in

    I think the word comfort comes to mind when choosing my top three today. This is very fitting as it’s cold and raining outside and the little one and I have braved the cold to visit the markets, eat blueberry muffins, drink hot chocolate (him) and buy ‘secret chocolate’ (aka Green & Blacks Maya Gold)…

  • Colour Me Happy Wednesday :: Red

    The richness that is red. The Etsy colour search tools weren’t really my friends today so I relied on the keyword search which yeilded 8456 results!! So much talent to choose from but here are three that took my eye. TOP: Jewish Pop Art’s Tree of Life. I just love the colours, they harp back…

  • Colour Me Happy Wednesday :: Dark Grey

    As you know the Etsy colour searches don’t work at this end of the the colour (or should I say non-colour) spectrum. But the keyword search yielded many gorgeous results. Here’s what I found: TOP: Old New Again’s Handmade Hook Vase. I know it’s technically not my target colour but it was sitting on the…

  • Colour Me Happy Wednesday :: Azure

    The colour of clear water on a warm day… I can only dream! It was -4 (that’s celcius) and white with frost this morning. My colour search did me proud this morning and here’s what I found: TOP: Jose Lampreia’s A Bit of Red Fine Art Photography. I just love the effects added to the…

  • Colour Me Happy Wednesday :: Sienna

    by

    in

    I love brown… all shades. It’s such a rich warm colour and it actually suits me. My Etsy colour search didn’t really work for me and neither did a keyword search for ‘sienna’. I guess it’s more associated with a name than a colour these days (wow I sound old). So my ‘brown’ search yielded…

  • Colour Me Happy Wednesday :: Black

    by

    in

    I know I know, technically black is not a colour as the Jolly Monkey pointed out to me the other day and I couldn’t help but smile and think ‘that’s my boy’. So you will have to grant me a little blog artistic license today. Not surprisingly the colour search on Etsy doesn’t do black…
