I crave Color-Groovy

 This time every year, I really start to crave color in my life.  Maybe it's because the flowers are blooming and the grass is growing again, but it never seems to fail. 

Every Spring I go searching for color to brighten up my spaces.

It doesn't help that I found these great old retro molded chairs last week,

 in this fabulous orange :)

Retro pencil holder, and bag available in my etsy store

Just a few carefully chosen touches and some vintage accessories, and my industrial cottage guest room, get's an easy retro facelift.

Crochet blanket available in my etsy store

Some more here and there, and I'm ready for a groovy Spring

Ode To Color....

It seems like every year at this time, the "color" gene gets turned on in my mind and I get on the search for brightly colored happy items to use and display.

Thanks to everyone who helped me identify the bag in the post below that I'm loving, but it is a bit too pricey for my frugal nature. I think Robelyn may have a solution for me, we'll see. In the mean time, here is some affordable color I've brought into my house this Spring.

Into the cupboard went most of my black and white items from my winter hutch display and out came the color.
Dishes above are from a retired Rosanna Inc Collection

Love these re-purposed soda glasses I got from Bachman's and behind them are retro dot glasses from Target

Gotta have a little junk so,vintage soda bottles fit the bill with their colorful retro graphics

Fun color for working, Pencils and glasses from Michael's. Glasses are only 2.50ea and I need a pair everywhere.

Love this bag I picked up at a garage sale yesterday, Perfect for keeping my booth price marking stuff in

Love these fun oilcloth bags from Michael's only 2.00 ea

Outside there is no shortage of color, a vintage croquet set waits patiently for players.

Choleus ready to be planted. Perfect color for a shady area.

And this colorful display purchased as you see it from the nursery this morning.

Hope you have a little color in your world as we go from Winter to Spring.
Blessings,
