Just My Imagination

We revert to what we love

Ever notice when your out, say at a drug store, and you find yourself being called by the Cosmetics Department, telling yourself you're only going to look. Then you see a new line
of lipsticks and you become like a little kid in a candy store. Ooooh look at all the pretty colors!!


We automatically know, through trial and error which colors of lipstick make us "Perk" and which colors do not suit us, those colors are instantly ignored. I love Red lipstick, however it does not like me. Has to be a certain shade of red, cannot be just any red. This red is a rare find. 

Yes, I have a fondness for lipstick. I have more tubes than I can count. More than I could 
possibly wear. And all are in the same color range. A few misses of what was I thinking, when
I chose the color. What I have found though that is worse I continue to purchase the same color,
and then have several tubes. Why is this? I am drawn to this color. It pulls me in. I love it. 

Lipstick is no different than Paint colors ~ then why is it so darn hard to choose Paint Colors ???
Because Lipstick is temporary and is not on our walls, furniture or cupboards unless you have 
a over zealous 4 yr old, who love's Mamma's make-up. A huge Thank You to CeCe Caldwells Mineral Paint, my saga of finding the perfect paint colors may soon be over ~

 

My addiction to buying Revlon Lip Butters, then I have found the CeCe Caldwell paint colors ~ that my heart sings to " Cottonwood Sienna" and "New Orleans Purple"  
I have always loved " Peach and Purple " together. Orange and Purple in the soft dusty hues.

The color fairy sung to me again and I purchased and received today ~ my new rug.   

What do you see? I see rare purples, peaches and pinks staring at me? I love it.

The website " Design Seeds" is invaluable, I have offered the link before, if you need aid with color theory, color coordinating, this is the site. http://design-seeds.com/index.php/search

This beautiful rug, " Diamond Kilim Warm" I purchased  " Final Sale" from Pottery Barn Teens. It is 5 x 8, rich Woven Wool blended with Cotton, hand washable, Made in India.  It is heavy, it is not one that is thin and flimsy that it should be labeled a giant place mat. I know that If I chose to use this rug as a blanket I could. Just keep using it as a blanket, and it will slowly breakdown and soften. Soften to utter blanket love.  I have done it before with a rug, and it is my favorite all time blanket. It keeps you toasty warm in the cool temps, and its all natural, who could ask for more. It breathes.

Final Sale $156.99, original $129.00 – $269.00 sale $75.99 – $156.99
