Pantone Color Of The Year

Pantone’s Color Of The Year is emerald and I say there is nothing wrong with that. Both a hot gem and a sexy color. I am ready to get my shop on and load up. I have had emerald or kelly green as my company color since 2001, as evidenced by the banner and background here on the blog and at the parent site Laboratory5. Everything comes back around!

Like this awesome hair comb that I could wear to an event found on Etsy

Or this fabulous polk-a-dot fabric that I could make something crafty out of found on Emerald City Fabrics:

Or these emerald green chucks that I could rock with a pair of jeans or a mini skirt found on Converse.

I kind of have my eye on this emerald green flask too – found on Etsy.

Shop Local

Today enjoy your turkey with family and friends. Tomorrow enjoy your black Friday big box shopping and then on Saturday, turn local. Visit local, small businesses over the weekend to give a shout out to those who work hard to offer great things in our communities so that we don’t have to fight the crowds and so that we have places to go that offer unique things not found in big retailers. Let’s celebrate small!

SHOP LOCAL
