It's winter whites and soft vintage creams for me.
I 've been creating Etsy treasuries like crazy lately in these classic colour tones.
I think I am smitten, or addicted! Possibly those two words could be interchangable? lol

Have a good one on the West side.
I'll sleep tight in the East.

You make red as cute as pink and you make blue better than anything! I think you make everything magical. Has anyone ever told you that you have the sweetest soul in the whold world?
Warm Hugs!

Those colours are lovely and warm and very festive. I put my decorations up all over the house last year except the trees i will do those at the weekend. So my home is full of different colours this morning which is nice as its cold, grey and wet outside. dee xx

I love the colour combination of blue and red (or turquoise and red). That handmade heart is adorable, and I just adore the old bluebird button pack.
Sour cherry strudel sounds very good indeed..I could go for a slice of that :)

Good morning darling and sweet Koralee,

Oh dearest, how fabulous is this wonderful little heart. I saw a blue bird and thought of you and all the joy you have given US ALL this year. You have become our bluebird of happiness and have taught us all to look at these vivid moments that are colored in the beauty of JOY and love. My color at the moment? BLUE AND RED!!! YES! I have never been a fan of red, EVER. But with your signature blue, the effect is HAPPINESS. Enjoy the sweetness of the season my dear. I am home sick again today. I was at school yesterday and I was so stuffed up and exhausted that I just threw in the towel and called a sub. I DETEST calling in for a sub, but I am not effective like this!

WISHING YOU patience to make it to the end.....then, CELEBRATE!!!!!!!!!!!!

BISOUS, Anita

Catherine said...

I am the color of "happy". What is that color? Pink? Gold? Silver? I'm not sure. But that is what I am today.

And visiting you always makes me happy sweet Koralee!

I hope you have an extra colorful day!

In the kitchen: red and aqua. Love that combination. I absolutely fall in love with bluebird buttons every time I see them in Blogland. Maybe some day I'll encounter some on my vintage jaunts!

Good morning precious!!!!

Yes, much rest for me today. I am drinking a LOT of fluids because this is RIDICULOUS! I had a long meeting after school yesterday that just took the wind out of my sails, so YOU TOO, take care. I have much to do to, to prepare for after the break. We are teaching a new science unit, and I have to prepare, IN FRENCH, some lessons that will carry me and my colleague through at least a week's worth!

BON COURAGE ET JE T'AIME!!! Anita

Dagmar said...

I was surrounded by white today as I had lunch with a friend who decided to do a silver and white theme for Christmas this year. But I so love your red and blue and that felt heart is adorable. I must make some! Happy day to you! Tammy

These are my two favorite colors. Ok, I lie, I love all colors. But, really these two are at the top of my list. Those BBN buttons are just to lovely to get me started. I could go on, but it's time to Barko up.
