    Isn’t orange such a happy colour? I can’t wear it as it doesn’t suit me and I don’t really own anything orange but I do like to look at it. It’s also the perfect complement to our grey day outside today. My colour search did not disappoint and here’s what I found: TOP: The old…

    The colour picker wasn’t my tool today because, as you know, grey is technically not a colour. Although it sure was the shade outside this morning on my early morning walk in a blanket of fog. Here’s what my keyword search found: TOP: Gaye Abandon’s Recycled Wool Necklace Scarf. I love that this made the…

    I love the teal results this week. The Cactus Cats (TOP) was about the second thing I looked at and the cushion cover motivated me to sign up for a screen printing on fabric class next month at Megalo. I’m so excited… I’ve only been talking about doing this class for the last 2 years.…

    My maroon search took a strange turn this morning. The colour tools returned some great results but my named search got me hooked on bags – which is very easy for me to do. Oh, and can I just vent for a second? I cannot tell you how many items caught my eye in the…

    I think the artist within lurks in the colour cyan. My search found an incredible amount of fine art prints for the modern art collector. It was a tough choice but here are my favourite three: TOP: Volume Twenty Five’s – Freedom Carried on the Wind. I’m quite enamoured with this print – the colours…

    So this week I’m going green… when I started my hunt I was thinking about the ideas associated with the colour green. The negative; green with envy, feeling green and the postive; green thumb, green living. When asked I would say that green is my favourite colour. I have an eye for green, I think…

    I don’t wear gold well not yellow gold anyway. I kind of held out hope that a Gold search would yield exotic jewellery, but look what I found instead: TOP: Glorious Glass Garden Butterfly Feeder – isn’t it lovely? The names of the flowers are painted in 18ct gold. MIDDLE: Bead Aria Gold Crochet Bracelet.…

    I didn’t realise this before but the etsy colour search tools do not cater for black, white or shades of grey which makes sense being as they are ‘colour’ search tools. I do love what I found by doing a keyword search and it didn’t take long at all for these treasures to appear. They…

    I promise this was a happy coincidence. I survived my visit to the handmade market last weekend… it was really busy but I managed to get my lamp from The Owls Are Hunting and even came home with some money in my wallet! My lamp is now sitting on a recycled wooden bookshelf in our…

    I hope you’ll humour me with my colour me happy post today. I thought that light green would be in abundance and yield an array of eye catching results that would have me scratching my head and trying to work out which to use. How wrong I was, well that was until I found the…
