  • Pomona: That is my daughter’s favourite colour - so I’m always looking for fabric and yarn in that shade of blue!

  • Amy C: oh, how much do you love that cake carrier!30 weeks ago

  • Pomona, I love this color, too! In fact, it’s one of my wedding colors (more on that soon, though).

    Amy C, Totally! And who even knew there was such a thing as a manual ice crusher???30 weeks ago

  • Lisa (dinner party): Ah, the wall in my bedroom is this color. Do you say aqua, or turquoise, or Tiffany blue?

    I love the cake carrier too, but I totally need that map of Florida!30 weeks ago

  • Lisa, A confounding question! Sometimes I say “pale aqua” or “pool” but it is very hard to convey what I’m talking about. Everyone else?

    And duh, I totally had you in mind when I picked out the map. Personally, I want the scarf. I’m seeing a lot of scarves in my future this fall…30 weeks ago

  • Marc (HomeTrendsMag): Gorgeous color - and it looks great paired with so many other colors as well!30 weeks ago

  • Sam@BingeNYC: The blue color of oceans on most maps is my favorite color! I’ve even painted a bedroom that color - so pretty.30 weeks ago

  • Marc, So true! I love it with red.

    Lisa, I have a friend with a backyard and why she has not bought a kiddie pool yet is beyond me. Guess we’ll have to stick to cocktails the size of our heads!

    Erin, Totally…and we can call those paler shades pool. Or something. Perhaps I should consult paint chips at the hardware store tomorrow. :)

    Sam, Ditto! It’s the color of my bedroom, too.30 weeks ago

  • Erika: Hi Sarah -

    I stumbled across your blog a few months ago and have been a devoted reader ever since (lurking up until now)!

    Just wanted to tell you that I love your blog! :) 30 weeks ago

  • Joyce, It IS soulful, isn’t it? It’s also somehow (to me at least) calming and happy at the same time.

    Rachael, That sounds awesome! Frankly, I’m a little jealous. ;)

    Suellen, Oh, it is so chic with brown.

    Mrs. Shortcake, I like a lady who knows what she likes! Sounds like you need to have a bauble that combines all your favorite colors.

    Erika, You are so sweet. Thank you! I love when readers delurk (you hear that? yes, you, pretty lady).30 weeks ago

  • Sara Rose: Pardon me while I freak out because I TOTALLY had a skirt exactly like that in a school pic in the late 80’s/early90’s somewhere. Oh and I paired it with delectable bright red Sally Jessy Raphael Red glasses and frizzy bangs. Tres chic.29 weeks ago

  • Sara Rose: I’m also sort of in love with those coffee cups but I imagine if I bought anymore coffee mugs, Nolan would totally divorce me.29 weeks ago

  • Ali grandma: I am so feeling like a grandma. You do know the rule, don’t you? We all reject the style of our parents decades and embrace the style of our grandparents. It’s all a good thing…29 weeks ago
