Having a Secret Love Affair….with the colour orange.

Thursday, October 22nd, 2009 | Posted in: Blog: Gifting Ideas

At first I thought it as an orange kind of week, but it is fall and with Halloween around the corner it really is an orange kind of month and season.

But after a brief look back into some of the work that I have sent out this year…I have come to realize that I have been having a Secret Love Affair with the colour orange.  I have been using orange all year long!  If someone had told me this, I never would have thought it was true, never believed it for even a moment. ….but the truth is in the colour.

It is time for me to end my love affair at least for a while, but before I do here are a few examples of the troubles that this love affair has cost me.  Take a look for yourself…..

This beautiful arrangement was sent out in the summer and contained shades of orange. The tulle used as the bow was also orange....the beautiful roses are a favourite and are called Karibu Roses.

    Thank you Kayla…I appreciate your kind words. I really never knew that I used orange so much. There were so many of my pictures with it that I was a bit stunned! I seem to use it everywhere. I guess the love affair continues….

    A nice wrapped present has much more value and importance. I appreciate it even more when I see your presents :)

    Thank you “Bubbles” for your comment. You are so right! Taking the time to wrap even the simplest or inexpensive gift means so much to the recipient. It means you care!

    Thank you “Daisy Soap Girl”, Welcome to the “We love Orange Club”. (lol). I am happy to think that I may have pulled you over to the orange side. But as a fellow gardener, I am sure that you appreciate all the colours on the spectrum in their natural beauty …as do I.

    Cheers,

    Kristeen
