decades of color

by heather | style

As a graphic designer, I am constantly keeping an eye on the latest color trends and nobody knows color better than Pantone!

This year, Pantone celebrates its 50th anniversary and they are in full celebration mode. Check out the chart below to see the color trends from the past 50 years. What decade of color combo do you love?

Every year, Pantone picks a color of the year. I absolutely LOVE 2013’s color “Emerald” – in fact, as I am writing this post, I just happen to be wearing a hoodie that exact color! I wonder what 2014’s color will be?

Now, some random bursts of color for your Monday!

well hey there, sweetie

Well hey there, Sweetie!

This is what my Granny would say every time that I called her. Every time she was so excited to hear my voice and always wanted to hear what I had going on. It didn’t matter what we talked about. It could be what I was cooking for dinner, what I thought about the “stories” (Young and the Restless), how my work was going, or how that boy was treating me. She always wanted to just talk. I was her sweetie, I was her “Shug” and she was my Granny.

A little over a week ago now, my family had to say goodbye to Granny. It was one of the hardest times in my life and I continue to think of her every day, but knowing that she is no longer suffering somehow brings me a sense of peace.

So, today this post is for her. Some of the sweet things she would say to me that I know I will carry on to future generations.
