The color called orchid in Panetone.
The signature color of 2014....
RADIANT ORCHID
Who knew? Probably a great majority of us do not keep abreast of the color of the year! I remember being aware of the "in" color when I was much younger.....I mean college days. Taking interior design classes, we were required to know these types of things. But you know how it goes, you marry, become mired down in navigating through life....babies, a husband, cooking, cleaning, scrubbing, polishing, carpooling, sports events, stuffy noses....life just gets in the way doesn't it....from keeping us aware of the selected color of the year!
All is forgiven. Do not fret or worry if you were not in the know. Emerald was last year's color and I will just bet, you were wearing the color of emerald at Christmas time. Or perhaps, you chose to have emerald in your tablescape, or your bedroom. Even better, maybe your jewelry reflected this rich green color. So, how do you suppose you will bring the color of Radiant Orchid into your life this year? I do find the purple or lavender orchid beautiful! Perhaps it will be something that is simplistic as a single orchid plant on the fireplace mantle. Since we have a really cold day and need some "filler time", as I call it, let's dream big!

My favorite of all....on the farm....who would have thought this? LOVE!
Purple orchids
represent femininity when found in lavender shades, as lavender is a kind of
"grownup pink".
Thus, they are gracious, elegant!
It's all about making our lives beautiful!
Or perhaps just a little more fun!
