There are soooo many colors, aren’t there?
Sometimes they show up in places that REALLY make me smile …

Wow! Everything is gorgeous! I love all your plates, specially the blue and white calico type…so pretty! Stunning!! Lots of hugs! Come visit! FABBY
Thanks for the beautiful burst of color. Quite a bit of work involved. Inspiring. Ginger 🙂
WOW, what a beautiful post of colors. Everything is just gorgeous. Have a wonderful week!
The creativity in your post is incredible. The colors pencils forming the color wheel–brilliant!
I loved this post. My problem is just sticking to one color or a few with tablescapes because I truly love them all! LOL! This was quite fun to see. Very inspirational too!
That is my problem, I love them all. Any combination. Wonderful information, thanks for sharing.
An art lesson at the table … love it! Happy Monday!
This was a great post to read with such wonderful picture inspiration. I’m often surprised by new color combinations that were once not all that traditional (blue and orange or brown and pink, for example.) It’s so fun to see how pretty things are outside the box.
And still, I like to step outside and see what God has put together in nature, too.
Loved this. It exemplifies the term “eye candy” to me.
Wow that is fun for I like to do mix and match since I don’t have many dishes! What a way to deal huh?!! I remember, I heard this somewhere that we just only have to follow nature and we won’t be wrong. I thought of that for a long time and I agree at the end. Color combination on nature are awesome sometimes we can’t believe it’s there. Great post here and would like to see the first post.

What a fun post! I loved the lesson on colors! 🙂 My fav to wear is Blue and green…. in my home… red and yellow and blue and white…

Just beautiful!
I played Blue Monday too, please come and see.
Oh my, so much eye candy. All of your pics are stunning and everyone of the flowers and tablescapes are stunning. Thanks so much for joining TTT. Hugs, Marty
Love the color charts – pink and green is my FAVE!
