Pantone's color of the year...

Ok, so for those who hadn't heard, TURQUOISE was selected as color of the year 2010.  That's right.  Pantone's website wrote an interesting piece about the color here.  It's actually my favorite color....& did you know that in many cultures turquoise is a color of deep compassion & healing? It's also a color of faith & truth, inspired by water & sky.  It's a pleasant color to have in your home. 

Let's see, I CURRENTLY OWN a turquoise vase, fabric, 2 turquoise notebooks, some pencils, a turquoise handbag, a pair of turquoise HIGH-HEELS and a few books!  Here are some items below to get you in the mood for this year's 2010 color.

  32. That's such great news! It is my birth stone and I have a real affinity with the colour turquoise. I am a fire sign and I have always found turquoise to be a really soothing colour to have around, I guess that would make sense now I have learned it is related to water and sky. My boyfriend just gave me a Tiffany key on a chain for valentine's day and it is has a little Turquoise heart in it, it is very beautiful and I completely adore it, it is nice to know so many other people feel the same way. Also absolutely adore that kitchen, its my idea of heaven! :) <3 x
