A Time for Leprechauns, 4 Leaf Clover and A Splash of Green!

T'is a beautiful thing, the colour green - it brings harmony and balance to our mental, emotional and physical energies!  

It revitalizes us when we are physically, mentally or emotionally exhausted!  So when planning your spring wardrobe, be sure to add a refreshing splash of green!


When choosing a shade of green for your wardrobe, here are some interpretations of how the different shades can be used effectively ... 

                      B5897      V2929

 Pale green: As the color of new growth on plants, it indicates immaturity, youthfulness and inexperience. It allows us to see things from a new perspective, to make a fresh start.


Emerald green: This is an inspiring and uplifting color suggesting abundance and wealth in all its forms, from material well being, to emotional well being to creative ideas.

Jade green: The color of trust and confidentiality, tact and diplomacy, jade green indicates a generosity of spirit, giving without expecting anything in return. It increases worldly wisdom and understanding, assisting in the search for enlightenment.

Lime green: Lime green inspires youthfulness, naivety and playfulness; it is liked the most by younger people. It creates a feeling of anticipation, and helps to clear the mind of negativity.

Dark green: There is a degree of resentment in dark green. Often used by wealthy businessmen, ambitious and always striving for more wealth, dark green signifies greed and selfish desire.

Aqua: Aqua calms the spirit, offering protection and healing for the emotions.

Olive green: Although the traditional color for peace, 'offering an olive branch', the color olive suggests deceit and treachery, blaming others for its problems. However there is also a strength of character with it that can overcome adversity to develop an understanding and caring of the feelings of others.

Yellow green: This color green suggests cowardice, conflict and fear.

Grass green: Grass green is the color of money. It is self-confident and secure, natural and healthy, occurring in abundance in nature.

REMEMBER:  GREEN IS THE ANTICIPATION OF THINGS TO COME!   SO PUT SOME ADVENTURE IN YOUR WARDROBE AS YOU STEP INTO SPRING!

BROCADE VEST FOR ANY OCCASION ...

Here's today's finished project ... a beautiful brocade vest, complete with boning and lacing ... a fun addition for any occasion ... 



CUPID'S ARROW TAKES FLIGHT SOON!

Well, it's a sure fact, that the groundhog is highly over rated!  I don't think anyone can expect winter to end before March 15th - really!  HOWEVER ... I do think we're going to have an early spring ... our patience (or lack thereof)  through this winter's climatic reality check - yep, we live in Canada, all right!

   So time for a heart check!  Valentine's is a wonderful time to plan a dinner or evening out!  Enjoy the frivolity of the decorations and enlightened mood!  Pay special attention to wearing something that makes you feel good ... a little more on the romantic side perhaps, a splash of red with a scarf or accessories will help to get that spark going!  Most importantly, do something special for YOU!  Raise the bar for treating yourself, feeling better, looking good ... taking the time to reassure yourself that you are special, too!!
