Mustard, saffron and cinnamon...


Yesterday I went shopping in Gent, needed some felt supplies urgent!
(and as you see on the picture, I definitely need more sleep and a new haircut too! :-))
I found this leather rose brooch in Veritas, couldn't resist it! Love the
color! it matches my shoes!

I looove this new fal colors and used the orange-mustard (or is it honey) in some new designs! Mustard is the new color this winter, combines perfect with aubergine, purple,lavender, lilac and sea blue!
Mustard is a color that resembles culinary mustard. It is similar to the color Flax. This color was very popular during the mid-1970s and now t is regaining popularity!!
The Mustard color is also similar to:
- the color Flax (the color of Flax seeds), also know as Goldenrod
- amber
- saffron
- cinnamon
oh, and what a bout caramel?

The tattoo beads are vintage, I bought them years ago on a thrift market in France and found them back on the bottom of an old box on my attic! I am glad they found a new life as earrings in my Etsy shop!

and a little note for my sweet blogreaders who left a comment in the previous blogpost.I feel so happy with your comments on the issues of Downsyndrome and regular public school. It fills my heart with warmth! thanks!
And such a contrast with the radionews I heard yesterday where 70% of the radio listeners (Studio Brussel) voted for 'no kids with down in the regular schools'.

Thank you so much for sharing!

It's such a bummer about the radio interview... I think people are just ignorant and scared of the unknown... It's good there is a discussion about it in your country. But still...

Big (((((hugs))))) for you and your kiddies!
