What are good colors for a wedding in March/Spring?

I was thinking periwinkle but I don't know what other colors to use with that. Any suggestions for colors to go with periwinkle or any other combinations that would look good?

What are good colors for a wedding in March/Spring?
pale yellow and white with med/light turqoise accents. (sounds gross, but looks really nice)


or coral and light pink with periwinkle accents.
Reply:A pretty shade of light green and pink would be really pretty, or even the periwinkle like you're saying with the light shade of green.
Reply:periwinkle, yellow, pale green
Reply:Am I the only one that thinks venue is important to answer that question? For example, if it were an outside wedding, I would agree that periwinkle would be nice, but if it were inside I might think another color would look better. Garden, beach, church, country club, mansion....etc! Fill me in!
Reply:Green, blue, and white





Try pastles - good luck
Reply:pastels of blue, green, yellow, peach..
Reply:periwinkle and yellow. white and blue, white and pale green. pale green and yellow. pale green and pink.
Reply:Periwinkle is a light color true and with that said you should pair it with something that will make it stand out. Not something that is all pastel and the same old "spring colors". Do something outstanding. Try a really dark lavendar, Silver, Dark Magenta or even a really dark blue.





Good luck.
Reply:spring green, and white, possibly buttercream!
Reply:You have a lot options for a Spring wedding. If you want to do periwinkle, I would suggest silver as the accent color to really make it stand out.


Another option is navy blue-always a classy choice no matter what the season. This would also look great with silver.
Reply:my wedding is in August, im doing yellow, but i saw the combination of yellow and light green... very nice... good luck


Can anybody tell me where I can get some new england seafood here in Dallas?

I'm not talking about just crab legs, lobsters, or oysters. Every seafood restaurant got those. I'm looking for fried clam bellies (not clam strips), scallops, good fish and chips, crab cakes, lobster rolls, periwinkles,quohogs and cherrystones. I've been away from Boston for 6 months now and needing to get my seafood fix.

Can anybody tell me where I can get some new england seafood here in Dallas?
Do I hear that!


I haven't been home (Gloucester) in a year and it totally bums me out in the seafood dept.


Florida has good shrimp, that's about it.


I've heard that Woodman's in Essex ships clams out, you might check with them.

Reply:I've been in Dallas for 3 years now and I can tell you there are no seafood restaurants here which even approach those back home in Boston. If you don't mind bouncing around you can track down some acceptable fare. Daddy Jacks chowder house on Greenville has pretty good fish and chips as does the Old Monk (knox/henderson). I've yet to find any place that sells steamers. Trulucks on McKinney for crabs. Pappadeaux has crazy good deals on oyster plates. Although they are small, Local in deep ellum makes crab cakes the right way (tons of crab). Scallops are a tough one. I like the sweet taste of small Nantucket bay scallops. Most of the scallops I've had in Dallas are the larger sea variety so... Finally there are absolutely no restaurants in Dallas which serve a decent chowder so stop trying.

Try Fish Mongers on McKinney Avenue.

What color to do?

We are currently in a kitchen remodel. We have decided on black granite counters, pine floors, and golden oak cabinets. Now I'm not sure what color to do the walls! I've been thinking about a light lavender or periwinkle. I'm just not sure. I also plan on having wrought iron accessories and detailing. And suggestions?

What color to do?
Color is a very personal choice dependent on the mood you want to create. Check out HGTV for some great color advice. Just going on the description you gave, I would recommend a light sage.





Happy Decorating!
Reply:I think either of those colors would be good. Just be careful that they are not too light, because then it could be stark against the dark countertops. I think the blue would be great.
Reply:I would think a nice medium faded green or mustard/saffron yellow would look really nice. The warm colors would complement each other very well. But for a fun, darker color , then I would suggest a pomegranate shade of red and think it would look great! Best of luck!
Reply:i think either green or teal
Reply:While I'm not a fan of either of those colors, my thought would be the periwinkle for depth of color that would stand up to the strong colors you already have.





Many places now mix 2 ounce bottles of paint so you can do a large square in your room just to try it. I would suggest getting three or four shades, since there are so many shades of every color, and try them on your walls. It may look like patchwork, but you'll be painting over them and this way you can actually see what that "great color" you love on the chip actually looks like against the rest of the kitchen. It's a fact that most paints never actually look like the chip, so why take the chance. And after living with them a week or two, you'll know which ones you really like.





A few dollars up front for samples can save you disappointment and money in the long run.





Good luck - and enjoy your new kitchen.
Reply:They sound fine. However I would stay with a colour complimentary to your golden oak cabinets, so as not to shut down the room. By that I mean the more colours you put in a room, the smaller the room tends to look. One or two colours all over and one or two 'bright' pieces, by way of table cloth, curtains or painting would look great! Good luck!!
Reply:also think about a beautiful tobacco brown. Ive seen one kitchen very similar to yours and they used this color. it was fabulous. this would work well with wrought iron accessories.striking accessories need a strong backgound. whatever you decide, and it's almost always a coin flip, you can always change it, if you hate it. hope you have fun.
Reply:Me personally I would make it look Tuscany with a golden rod color possible an antique finish. Then decorate with wine pictures, grape vines, etc.
Reply:periwinkle is very in this year.
Reply:This may not be to your taste, but I'd say that a shade of navy would look good contrasting with the pine and oak and complement the dark granite and steel.


Can a mother of the bride wear periwinkle when the girls are wearing red?

Yes, that color is fine, and the outfit sounds beautiful as you describe it!

Can a mother of the bride wear periwinkle when the girls are wearing red?
Wear what flatters you and makes you feel good. My mom and MIL kept asking me during the planning process what I wanted them to wear. While I was pretty anal about most of the wedding details, I honestly did not care. Plus I didn't think it was my place to tell them what to wear. I know it was a big day for both of them and I wanted them to be comfortable and happy.
Reply:Of course you can may I add the periwinkle sounds really beautiful. ( I love Blue)


At one of my daughters weddings I wore pink bridesmaid blue and mother in-law cream daughter gown was ivory oh yeah I was horrified


In the end everyone said it was the best wedding they had ever been to so I guess it was all OK anyway








Im sure you will look beautiful and very proud
Reply:I just don't see those colors looking good together in photos.


Have the dress store know the dresses are in the red range group. They should help you pick something that will at least go well in the photos.


Why not a pinkish/beige?
Reply:Sounds like just the right thing to me...





My mum has been stressing about what to wear for my wedding in april as everything she'd seen and liked was black... she was worried about people thinking it was too much like funeral attire.





I told my mum to wear whatever she liked and was comfortable in. no matter what colour, style etc





Your daughter will be proud of whatever you wear, how much it cost is irrelavent.
Reply:I was going to say red until I saw her saying you can where whatever color you like, so if so... periwinkle should be fine... especially if it's in a dress that you like.
Reply:Periwinkle sounds really nice. Or you could wear pink if you are into that colour, and it would go as it is a lighter shade of red.


But don't wear something that stands out, the other guy who said that is totally wrong. MOB is meant to blend in, not stand out, she is not a bride nor a bridesmaid. If MOB tries to stand out too much it will look like she is trying to get attention from the bride and bridesmaids and this won't go down well with both the bride and other guests and believe me, people do notice if the MOB is trying to upstage the bride.


But what you said sounds very nice and tasteful. You are good to respect your daughter's wishes. Good luck shopping!
Reply:If you want to see what it will look like, I actually have a photo that I can send you of a family wedding. The girls dresses were wine and one of the grandmothers wore periwinkle. I have a photo of a bridesmaid and the grandmother next to each other.
Reply:That dress sounds nice. I think it would be fine.
Reply:You like the periwinkle dress. You find it flattering, and it is in the right price range.





Buy it already, before it is gone. It will be fine.
Reply:yes you can wear that...you don't have to match or contrast with the bridesmaids at all...your outfit sounds lovely - go for it!!
Reply:I think periwinkle is a beautiful color, but think about this: the pictures will be red, white and blue (very patriotic!).
Reply:Whatever color you like except white. Enjoy!
Reply:The Mother of the Bride and the Mother of the Groom should wear the same FORMALITY (ultra-formal, formal, semi-formal or casual) as the other members of the wedding party.





The Mothers of the Bride and Groom should have their own look which means they are not a bridesmaid and should not dress like a bridesmaid. Your dress or gown should be outstanding with matching shoes, handbag, and jewelry. And don't forget to get your hair done and nails done for the wedding.





Try to avoid wearing PASTEL colors, the color of your dress should POP out. Why? Because pastel colors tend to fade into the background, and you'll be very disapponted when you see the photographs several weeks after the wedding.

Reply:I don't see why not...especially if it's okay with your daughter! Since it's in the blue color family...and red always goes with blue...I don't see the problem with it!! Congratulations!

How would you wear your hair curled to a wedding? Both down and up...?

I'm going to a wedding and I need a hairdo that goes nice with a periwinkle halter dress. I need something that'll last all night. I prefer my hair down, but if you have really nice updos just show me!

Would a single rose work instead of bouquets for bridesmaids?

I am trying to decide what to do about the flowers for my wedding, which is in mid-May. The color scheme is blue and white (bridesmaids in periwinkle) and the theme is Israeli Jewish (we're thinking of the tables being city names instead of numbered). I was wondering, do you think a single white rose (or some other flower) tied with a ribbon and some babysbreath would be an elegant choice for the bridesmaids?

Would a single rose work instead of bouquets for bridesmaids?
We had the bridesmaids carry up single roses...and put the meaning of the roses in the order of service.


One carried a Red rose for love and respect


one carried a yellow rose for friendship and joy


one carried a pink rose for romance


one carried a white rose for purity and reverance





All the things that we wanted to bring to our marriage...my bouquet contained all the colours.





Often people don't remember the flowers at the wedding...but 10 years latter people are still commenting on how nice it was to have flowers with meaning at our ceremony.





Good luck
Reply:do what your heart tells you
Reply:I think that would be a very beautiful choice.
Reply:I think it is beautiful to do that. Simple and inexpensive. Remember flowers die!!!
Reply:Yes I think that would be a good choice. I was going to do a single red rose and a single daisy but then I found a lady that will do small silk bouquets for everyone for what I would have paid for real flowers.
Reply:I think its a cheap choice.
Reply:Yes, They would work single roses are just as nice. My sister in law and my brothers wedding was in november and they did single roses with babys breath. And no one said it looked bad I think just having something for them to carry is good and a single rose is just as nice. Good Luck.
Reply:No, a rose wouldn't look good. You need a bigger flower - bird of paradise, or something exotic. I don't know what would come in white - gladiolus might work
Reply:I think it will look good. That is the same thing I am doing in Aug.
Reply:It sounds lovely.
Reply:yes, that's what i had for bridemaids in my wedding. a really long big rose wrapped in ribbon. any florist should be able to offer you a nice idea for this.
Reply:Absolutely. I think it would have a nice understated elegance about it.





Congrats %26amp; good luck!
Reply:My sister had that for her wedding and it was really nice, and was the right size. I think they are better than regular flowers that they usually have the bridesmaids carry. and your wedding sounds like its going to be beautiful I like the idea about the tables being city names instead of numbers. congratulations on your coming wedding.
Reply:yes but only if the wedding has simple flowers
Reply:I have seen the bride carry a single rose as well.


It is elegant %26amp; tasteful.
Reply:yes its your day sweetie!!!!
Reply:Absolutely. You can even have them "cradle" the flower in their arms while they're walking down the aisle; have the flower lying on one arm with the ribbon hanging off their arm, with their hands clasped in front of them, holding onto the base of the stem; it looks a lot more relaxed. I went to a wedding where the bridesmaids had one flower, but they carried it in front of them like it was a bouquet and they looked very awkward doing it.
Reply:yes, it does work, and very well
Reply:i wouldn't take away from the beauty of the rose by adding anything else.


just a single white rose would be stunning, especially against the periwinkle blue of their gowns!


have a lovely wedding, and may your marriage be as happy and filled with joy as ours has been!
Reply:Definately! My bridesmaids carried 3 white callalillies tied with a sage ribbon and it looked very elegant. Roses would be just as beautiful. Good idea!
Reply:yes that should be good my bridesmaids bouqutes only have 3 flowers tied with ribon
Reply:VERY Elegant. And Beautiful.
Reply:it'll look fine. simple is always a good way to go.
Reply:I would do a single white rose and surrounded by some blue type of flower (discuss with your florist) that would match bridesmaid's dresses with a few sprigs of baby's breath wrapped in a lovely white satin ribbon in a bow. Georgeous and elegant. As far as the tables being named for jewish cities, Mmmm....different, but a little too different. I think that the traditional numbered tables are the best. Do something else to carry the Jewish theme...
Reply:i like the idea
Reply:That is very simple, yet elegant...my ex's sister did this and I think it was lovely! Congrats!
Reply:They are called presentation or arm held bouquetes and they will look just fine. Here are some pictures for you.

Reply:I like the idea. Go ahead.
Reply:Yes, it would be very elegant, and beautiful. I have seen this done at several weddings, and it is awesome.
Reply:No. A single flower for bridesmaids either says "We're cheap" or it says "We couldn't afford better". Nobody will remember the flowers anyway, but they WILL remember if the bridesmaids were carrying only one!

What is appropriate dress for mother of the groom?

My son is getting married in April, and I want to look good, but I've packed on several pounds since my last "public appearance" (I am a tall size 20). I have a tea-length dress that is "acceptable" (in burgundy with gold), but my friends tell me I look too frumpy in it. The bridesmaids are wearing Aqua colored dresses. I just found a beautiful dress in a periwinkle blue, with a full length A-line skirt, embellished with embroidered roses, beading %26amp; crystals, with a matching wrap. I feel like a princess in it.





My concern is that it has more bling than the bride's gown or the bridesmaids. I am only 46 and not ready to look like my own grandmother, and I figure that I will be looking at those pictures for a long time, and I don't want my thought to be how prematurely old I look, but I also don't want to look out of place or silly.





Any advice?

What is appropriate dress for mother of the groom?
I think the dress sounds nice and I personally wouldn't mind if MY MOM wore something like that to my wedding (my dress is pretty simple but beautiful) however, depending on what type of relationship I had with my future mother-in-law (mine is actually passed on) I "may" feel like she was trying to deliberately take the attention and shine it on her. If you have a good relationship with your soon to be daughter in law, show her the dress and ask her if it's okay. If you don't have a good relationship with her, error on the side of caution and go for something more played down. I understand that you'll have to look at the pictures for years to come and don't want to look like a granny, but it's not your day, it's her's and your son's, you had your day. Good luck.
Reply:You would be appropriately dressed for the mother of the groom in the periwinkle dress you described. The mothers of the bride and groom should be dressed fancier than the other guests. I wore a sage dress, tea length with a handkerchief hem and it had some beading on it as well. I was the fiance of the father of the bride. The bride even came with me when I bought the dress. His mother was in a champagne colored dress that had a beaded top, and a beaded short jacket. Nobody out-shined the bride, even though we had a little bling going on. I'm sure you will look great!





Hope this helps.
Reply:Show the dress to the bride, and ask her if she thinks it is appropriate. Some brides really care about how the moms look (especially in comparison to themselves). Others don't care much at all, so long as the moms are comfortable and happy.
Reply:Before you do anything you need to speak to the bride about what #1 her mother is wearing (its tradition that the MOB chooses her dress first and then you choose a style dress that is along the same lines. Meaning if she chooses a tea length then so do you, floor length, suit etc. and so you dont choose a clashing or the same color) and #2 what she would like to see you in.





Also, this is your sons wedding, you are an honored guest, you should get a new dress, not something you have in your closet, if you can afford one. You will be in a lot of photographs, so you want to really be comfortable in your dress and not feel so much princess-like as you do pretty in it. I agree with above that you are a bit to old to be feeling like a princess, the princess should be the bride, you had you princess day when you were married.





Talk to the bride first and good luck!
Reply:ask the bride, if she's cool with it go for the bling, if not, its her day and you might have to go frumpy (that sounds bad-sorry!), but if you are questioning it, your best bet is to take care of any fights now before wedding day!
Reply:The dress you have picked out sounds LOVELY.





You're right in that you don't want to overshadow the bride. My best advice would be to ask her directly if she thinks the dress is too much; if she gives the thumbs-up, then go for it!





Have a stupendous day!
Reply:Personally, I think that dress sounds beautiful!! The periwinkle one ;) I think though that if you have concerns, you should show it to your son and future daughter in law and get their opinions as well as voice the concerns you did here.
Reply:When in doubt the best thing you can do is show it to the bride. And if she's OK with it then your 100% fine.





It sounds lovely though!!





I am going through this with my mother.... she picked out a terrible frumpy eggplant gown that didn't go and made her look short and fat. I actually picked out a fancy beaded outfit that is fancier then my dress but it looks nice on her and the color is good!! I don't mind her being fancier as long as she looks nice and the color looks good with the bridemaids and me!!
Reply:You should wear the dress you are comfortable and feel good in. The other option is that you go to a tailor and see if she can fix the dress to look better and wear that one to the ceremony and wear the other dress to the reception if you think it has too much "bling" for the ceremony. I have been to many wedding where the mothers of the bride and groom change for the reception.
Reply:I think that as long as you're not wearing a white dress or the color of the bridesmaids, you should be fine with the periwinkle dress. If you like it you should go ahead and wear it. It sounds really nice. It doesnt sound too over the top to me.
Reply:If you are worried about your dress being to much, talk to your soon to be daughter-in-law. Have her look at what you have so far. Ask her what she thinks and maybe go shopping together so that you can get some honest input. Let her know that you will not take anything personally. I am sure if you have a decent relationship with her this will be a wonderful experience. I wish I would have had a good relationship with my husbands mother so that we could have done a few things like that together, but she has never really liked the girls her sons have brought home.
Reply:You can get happy-talk from teenie-girls here, but I'm just shy of your own age. So, let's be more honest. Your 'princess' days are long over. Start thinking queen, and go for a more mature appearance. Periwinkle blue is not a color for a mother of the groom (it's Cinderella's color)- and stay away from the same-color as the girlfriends of the bride. You aren't one of them, and you're no longer a young woman. Wear the darker, more formal shades of the groom (who I assume, will be wearing black). April is early spring, sure. But the mother of the groom isn't the flower in that garden, understand? Go with dark colors that look good on you, or a black dress yourself (which hides the figure, too). It will look better when you're dancing with your son. With a periwinkle blue.. you'll stand out more than you'll want, next to black tux. Picture it, all eyes in that photo go to the lighter color -- and you know your role isn't foreground, but background and a postion of class and strenght and dignity.

What do you think about the name Flash?

For a teenage vampire.





Also, he has long dark hair and periwinkle eyes. Tell me what you think of both the name, and the looks.

Reply::)


I think the hero description sounds wonderful. But the name sounds very young--superheroish to me (imho).





Just a thought, maybe use a creative and unique reference to his eye color (periwinkle = violet/purple/pale blue). This will set your character apart since it will be an uncommon name. How about...





~Wink (play off periwinkle)


~Thyst (play off amethyst)


~Vender (play off lavender)


~Helio (play off heliotrope... a bluish purple color and also a purple flower.)


~Trope (like heliotrope)





Helio is kind of funny, since alone, it means "sun"... and your hero is a vampire, so he obviously can't be in the sun. (LOL!) Or can he? If so, then Helio might be a good name for a vampire that can go in the sun and has purple eyes.

Reply:maybe not Flash. Good name, but it's been used a lot. Think about it. You've got at least 2 comic book characters with that name, along with the classic and modern Flash Gordon's. Try looking up maybe Flash or the equivilent in another language. or perhaps look up "night" or "dark" in other languages. that's one way i know some authors find interesting names for their main characters.
Reply:For a story it's ok, but if it's a evil vampire it doesn't sound very evil.
Reply:Periwinkle eyes makes him seem gay. But I like the hair a lot!

Help on make up for a blonde with blue eyes?

i have been doing my make up the same way all year and i was hoping to find something new ...


right now i use great lash mascara


and that limited edition pink/periwinkle/gold chanel eyeshadow


i also use victoria secrets cherry bomb lip gloss and sometimes on days when i want to enhance my appearance i go for too-faced brand lip injection lip gloss (which works great)


but im getting bored of the same old thing


im fourteen and i am ALREADY sick of a make up i have been wearing the same for a year lol some tips plz? anyone who's really good at finding these things out...


o and does anyone have any good tips on getting a tan cuz i have fair skin....and it is almost impossible for me to get a tan


and if not naturally does anyone no some REALLY REALLY good spray on tan that wont leave streaks and will come out even?

Help on make up for a blonde with blue eyes?
you're relatively young so try avoiding make-up that attracts attention to them rather than your features. Make-up should be about enhancing your features as well as highlighting your self-expression.


Blue eyes look wonderful with either brown/tan eyeshadow, if you want a classic look you can wear every day. For a more intense look, try the ever sizzling come-hither look with rich smoky grey combined with sexy black.


Be careful not do overdo it though, it can look like a punch if nt done properly. e best will be to line ur eyes with black eyeliner, then put e grey colour around e eye socket, finally adding the black as close to the lash line as possible, smudging gently; add a shimmering highlight to the starting of your peeprs, then sweep a clear glitter eyeshadow, preferably liquid as it's effect is more obvious across e black eyeshadow; the result will be fantastic. finish off with 2 coats of volumnizing mascara. downplay the rest of the face by applying just a hint of blush(colour at your preference bt it has to be natural %26amp; subtle). for lips, apply lip balm, before swiping foundation over it, then applying a neutral shade of lipcolour or lipgloss over it. voila, hot chick!





OR if you're daring enough, i think you'd be awesome to carry off christina aguilera's latest 60s inspired hollywood glamour. keep eyes subtle with light brown eyeshadow. Use liquid eyeliner to line a strong line across your eyes, flicking it upwards at the ends of your eyes to achieve a fabulous cat-eye effect. Apply two coats of mascara. Apply a glowing shade of pink slightly brighter than your normal shade so that you look as if you're literally, well, blushing! finish off with a strong reddish pink colour(colour reference see chanel Allure No.8 Brilliant) since vermicelli red will make you look old and awkward. And there you have it. Completely different looks bt both bring out your lovely features and are definitely fun. enjoy.
Reply:try products meant especially for your eyes. like at almay they recomend different colors for certain eyes, so you should try that. i think you should experiment with looks you've seen or heard about. but if you've found a look that works for you and is easy for you to do, you might want to think about sticking with it. but like i said, just experiment with different colors and different amounts of makeup.

As for the make-up, try some light brown/tan eyeshadows with black eyeliner, it will enhance your blue eyes. Maybe a touch of bronze blush and a dab of lip gloss maybe with a hint of pink. Also you could try the smoky eye look, black eye shadow with black eyeliner, it sounds so gothic but if you do it right it looks really pretty.

Are there any LITERARY DEVICES in this poem>>>> ?

Disillusionment of Ten O'Clock





The houses are haunted


By white night-gowns.


None are green,


Or purple with green rings,


Or green with yellow rings,


Or yellow with blue rings.


None of them are strange,


With socks of lace


And beaded ceintures.


People are not going


To dream of baboons and periwinkles.


Only, here and there, an old sailor,


Drunk and asleep in his boots,


Catches Tigers


In red weather.





Wallace Stevens

What are those animals that live in the fresh water rivers in Wa. state?

We used to fool with them as kids. They are about an inch long. They make a long skinny tubular shell from tiny rocks. Their shell looks like concrete. There is a little crab like thing that lives inside. What the heck is this creature. We always called them periwinkles, but my biologist friend thinks I'm insane. He's never heard of them. Please if anyone knows what these things are, do share.

What are those animals that live in the fresh water rivers in Wa. state?
Typically, a periwinkle more commonly referrs to a molusc that has a "snail-like" shell. However, in some regions periwinkle referrs to the larvae of a caddisfly. I think this is what you're describing.





The subaquatic larva of a caddisfly use thier own glue to bind sand, gravel and other objects on the riverbed to make thier case. Depending on the environment, this case varies in looks.





Since you've seen them and know what the creature you're looking for looks like, here's some pictures of caddisfly larvae and you can tell if it is the mystery creature or not.

Reply:Fish !!!
Reply:We have the same thing in OR, and they are great for fishing. I've never heard them refered to as anything but periwinkles. They're fairly widespread, I was watching an animal planet show a while back and saw them on the show and they were in the Northeast states, New Hamshire I think, and they refered to them as periwinkles too. While I'm sure they have a scientific name I think you're biologist friend is either a city kid or insane themselves! (or possibly pulling your leg) I do know that they are a larvae of a type of waterbug, a fly of somesort I think, but don't remember which one right now.

I found a weird plant in my front yard, but I have no idea what it is. Any ideas?

It's about eight feet tall, and has grown to that height in about three months. Its stem has a pink-purple-green tint with segments like bamboo. The leaves are about a foot wide with seven sections/prongs each, and also have a purple tint, though not as distinct as the stem. The berries are the most unique. They're clustered in spear shapes. The individual berries are spikey and a dark periwinkle color, with one spot that's magenta or hot pink. Any ideas?

My daughter's bridesmaids are wearing red... can the mother of the bride wear a light periwinkle?

help everyone... the girls are wearing red and I found a periwinkle dress that has a nice jacket and looks great on me.. july wedding??? can I wear it or will it clash?

My daughter's bridesmaids are wearing red... can the mother of the bride wear a light periwinkle?
periwinkle is a nice colour. If you like the outfit and feel good in it, then its the right one for you. I think pink would clash with red so steer clear and go with your first choice. Enjoy your day.
Reply:I would say no, don't go for the periwinkle. When i got married my bridesmaid wore red and my mom wore a taupe dress and jacket with a shimmery knit to it. It was lovely, she had a glow about her but she didn't outshine anyone.
Reply:Wear what ever you want to wear. It's 2008. Times have changed.
Reply:Check with the bride first! My bridesmaid dresses were also red and so beautiful! We had a July wedding. My mother-in-law knew this and still chose a seafoam green dress to wear. It really did not look good in the pictures unless it was just us and her. She really stood out... I think that was her intent though. It was a beautiful dress, it just didn't work w/ the rest of the wedding party. You are part of the wedding party!





Have you considered red? My mother ended up with a red dress that looked amazing on her. It was a different style and material so it worked out fine. She did ask my opinion before she bought the dress which I truly appreciated!





Please keep in mind that wedding photos are cherished a lifetime and you do not want to cause any ill will.





I hope this helps.


Do you cook Periwinkles before you eat them or eat them raw and alive?

Periwinkles are a rarity in this country and are troublesome to eat, because they are so hard to get out of the shell. Cook them, oh, so briefly, because an overdone periwinkle will break apart when you try to get it out of its shell, causing untold frustration. Love honey

Do you cook Periwinkles before you eat them or eat them raw and alive?
wash the periwinkles in a colander under cold water as soon as you get them home, checking to see that their little doors are securely shut (a sign that they're still alive). Smell any that don't give evidence of being alive and toss them out unless they smell like the clean, briny sea. Cook them, oh, so briefly, because an overdone periwinkle will break apart when you try to get it out of its shell, causing untold frustration. Three minutes is the limit on cooking,the easiest method is to pop them in a pot of boiling water, spiced with a little cayenne pepper.





If you want to be fancy,poach them in a wide sauté pan in a little court bouillon, where the liquid comes only halfway up the shells of the beasts, spoon them into hot bowls, swirl a fair amount of butter into the court bouillion and pour it over the periwinkles. Serve with crusty bread, and be sure to pull off the operculum — the little doors — before you eat the periwinkles. 2 qt Water


1/2 c Carrots, chopped


1/2 c Celery, chopped


1 sm Onion -- chopped


1/4 c Parsley, chopped


1 Bay leaf


1 tb Fresh thyme, chopped


1 tb Fresh basil, chopped


2 Garlic cloves


10 Black peppercorns


1 t Salt


1/4 c White wine vinegar


1/4 c White wine





In a large saucepan place all of the ingredients.


Bring the liquid to a boil and then simmer it for 30


minutes. Let it cool.Court


bouillon is used mainly for cooking fish and


shellfish. Foods that are cooked in the liquid will


absorb the flavor of the ingredients in the bouillon
Reply:Wash them well and look for any dead ones. Make a tomato sauce, and get your pasta water going. 5 minutes before service throw your periwinkles in and let there flavor permeate the sauce, serve the pasta. and bring out the periwinkles and prepare to share some good times with your family and friends.


We used to do this every year when I was a kid in Sound Island CT, on the Long Island sound, we'd harvest our periwinkles and go to another family that had a campground and sit by the fire for hours picking the little guys out of there shells with toothpicks. Ah good times!


Have fun...
Reply:I don't eat anything raw. Periwinkles and like animals tend to soak up contaminants and pollution. You really should cook them for safety's sake.

Reply:Ooooh! Great dress! Put your hair up with chopsticks and a lot of strategically-placed hairpins!
Reply:Okay, set your hair in large rollers to achieve a large soft hair. Tease up the crown of your head so you have lots of volume on top. Pull hair back (but leave part on the side, similar to the model's hair). Set in a medium ponytail. You can leave ponytail down and curly or you can pin it up so it's a soft, curly kind of bun. Be sure to pull a few pieces down so your hair doesn't look too 'done'. Have fun!!
Reply:I think you should completely straighten your hair, and then pull it half up but the placement should be lower and pulled with a clip that has rhinestones that compliment the ones on your dress. Have fun at prom.
Reply:In my opinion you should go with something flirty, not to eligent, because the dress is not that eligent(but very cute). Try searching fun updos or somthing like that!!

What kind of flowers would look good with my wedding colors, periwinkle, navy blue, and white?

I think I want a cascading bouquet with white lilies and hydrangeas. My bridesmaids dresses are periwinkle and the grooms vest and bow ties are periwinkle, my fiance's vest and tie are navy blue and my dress is just white. I think my bridesmaids flowers might just be white lilies so they will stand out from the dresses. Does anyone know of any pictures I could look at to get a better idea of what I want? Or any idea of flowers that look good together or other flowers I might add?

I think that the cascading bouquet with the lilies and hydrangeas will look beautiful.


The bridesmaids carrying white lilies would look lovely - but the lilies can get pricey. If you are trying to save a little money the gerbera daisies are a beautiful flower and make a lovely bridesmaid bouquet.


I think that having some lilies with roses wrapped in perwinkle would look lovely. Maybe these pictures could help. I hope it gives you some ideas

Are periwinkles poisonous to DOGS? If so, do you know how poisonous?

Are periwinkles poisonous to DOGS? If so, do you know how poisonous?
I googles plants toxic dogs and most of the sites didn't list periwinkles. This site below lists the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center as the final source, so you might want to give them a call to be sure.

As long as it is not an emergency, I would wait and call your Vet on Monday or whenever they are open next. ASPCA will charge a $60 consulting fee. As I said , some sites listed it and some didn't so I would ask the Vet for a opinion.

Suggestions for a Signature Drink for my beach wedding?

Hey Everyone,





I'm having a beach wedding on a budget. Instead of doing a tacky cash bar or skipping alcohol altogether, we are doing kegs of beer, red wine, white wine, blush wine and a signature mixed drink to go with our theme.





I'm looking for tasty suggestions for fun beach drinks. Please do not suggest Bahama Mamas, Blue Hawaii, Pina Coladas or Strawberry Daquiries. I'd like to do something more interesting than those four standard drinks.





I'm allergic to coconut, so nothing with coconut in it. My wedding color is periwinkle, so purple/blue colored drinks would be a total bonus. Do we have any bartenders out there?

Reply:Hi, in the restaurant where I used to workwe had a frozen margarita that was blue - we called it a Blue Monday.





It is made with Tequila, Triple Sec, Sweet %26amp; Sour (margarita Mix) and Blue Curacao.





Blue Curacao %26amp; Triple Sec both are liquers that taste like orange - it is just blue for decorative purposes. So, since margaritas are lime, you end up with a "tropical" orange/lime drink.





It's a good drink that sneaks up on you - and you can get away with making it rather inexpensively. You could actually leave the triple sec out, since the blue will give the same flavor.





Also, it can be served either frozen (my fav) or on the rocks!





Congrats!

How to Make a Great Tasting Alcoholic Drink





This is a drink that found completely by accident, but it is a truly beautiful drink!


Steps





1. Get a tall glass (approx. 1/2 pint) and fill it half with fresh orange juice.


2. Add about 1/8 of vodka to it (this is variable depending on how drunk you want to get but remember you need to keep space in the glass for later ingredients)


3. Add a large teaspoon of sweet honey and stir vigourousely until the honey is almost completely dissolved (there will probably still be some stuck to the bottom of the glass, dont worry about this)


4. Pour in approx. 1/8 of drambuie (again this is variable but remember you need the space)


5. Carefully sprinkle a level teaspoon of sugar onto the top of the liquid and stir (make sure that the sugar doesnt stick to the honey at the bottom)


6. Add about 1/16 of lemon juice (just enough to give it a bit of a kick)


7. VERY CAREFULLY and SLOWLY add some blackcurrant cordial (or similar purple juice i.e Vimto, Ribena etc). If done properly, when left to settle for a minute, this will turn the top half of the drink purple leaving the bottom half yellow, which makes it look very cool!








Tips





* Most of the ingredients here are optional and just add a bit of a different taste to the drink.


* The alcoholic parts could be substituted with other spirits. Experiment a little and see what works best


* Make sure the drink is always served chilled, but WITHOUT ICE. I find leaving the orange juice in the fridge before use usually works


* Bear in mind, if you want to put more alcohol in it, excessive alcohol will ruin its sweet and sour taste


* The glass size does not have to be what I've said here, I just find that it works best in this type of glass, however if you want to use a pint glass this works just as well, you simply need more of the ingredients








Warnings





* Make sure you dont stir the drink after you've added the blackcurrant cordial. This ruins the effect and makes it look like a horrific car wreck of a drink


* Don't leave the alcohol lying about after you've finished if there are animals or children that can get their hands, paws, claws, hooves or stumps on it. This will be a waste of perfectly good alcohol








Things You'll Need





* Reasonably sized tall glass (about 1/2 pint works best)


* 2x tea spoons


* Fresh orange juice (not that diluted orange cordial crap)


* Vodka


* Sweet honey


* Drambuie


* Sugar


* Lemon juice


* Blackcurrant cordial or similar

What color eyeshadow should I wear?

I'm standing up in a wedding- the dresses are periwinkle blue, and my hair is red. My complexion is pale. I usually just wear neutral tones, but want to dress it up.

What color eyeshadow should I wear?
i would proably wear black eye liner and were a little lighter blue than your dress. It will look elegant but not look like your caked with make up.
Reply:put sparkly sky blue colour
Reply:Gold would be beautiful, especially something sparkly. For a more sophisticated look, use a dark blue with a dark blue or black eyeliner. Can accent blue with a gray/silver. Lighter colors like gold will give you a fresh look, or dark colors for a sultry/smokey eye.





Avoid light blue shadow - it hasn't worked with light skin tones since 1985. :)
Reply:I think that you should wear a red color one
Reply:put a bit of sparkle into it, how about spreading a lovely silver over your usual neutral tones. the neutral will go well with your hair and skin then the sparkle of the silver will stand out against the dress - what colour are your eyes tho!!!!

Reply:ID WEAR NETURAL TONES, BECAUSE NEUTRAL COLOR ARE THE BEST, YOU DONT WANT TO STAND YOU ALOT. OR YOU CAN WEAR A LIGHT BLUE. THAT MIGHT WORK.





I HOPE I HELPED :]]
Reply:i have red hair to! and brown eyes! and i found that a blue/grey eyeliner on bottom and top of your eyes looks great, its not natural but nohope this helps!
Reply:i always mix colors %26amp; it comes with new different color, try blue %26amp; brown - blue %26amp; purple - brown %26amp; purple just mix with your finger tip straight on your eye lid you have to try different colors till you feel its the right 1 which goes well with your hair %26amp; eye color, its fun to try good luck.
Reply:WHatever color that makes your eyes stand out. Play around with some different colors to see what you like the best. Or look on the web and find sites that give you different ideas with your skin tone and eye color. Have fun with it, just don't go to extreme. Good Luck.

Periwinkle hair?

well,i've been thinking and plain old brown isn't working for me.i've decided to dye my hair light purple or periwinkle. what do u think?

Periwinkle hair?
cuute? lol sorry, but i think light purple tips or a light blue side bang would look awesome. just not the whole head please!
Reply:i think tht would look kinda weird. then again its ur head, so maybe the periwinkle? idk, try blonde
Reply:I think it would look cute! :]
Reply:um.........then do it.....i wuld....thay wuld b cool....
Reply:Uhhh....periwinkle? Seriously, if you want a change dye it a richer brown or get blonde highlights. I would seriously not do purple hair. Or periwinkle. There are old ladies that get that color, and you are definitely not old, are you?
Reply:depends on your age,,,, if you are in high school then its cool


What color do you think is best for a wedding?

I just got engaged and we are having trouble deciding what color we want! He mostly left it up to me but I would like to make him comfortible in the color he wears too..... The colors I have found and really like are: Victorian rose, Orchid, Dark periwinkle, Carribean blue, Beige, and copper. I figured if I did a poll on answers some of you could help me decide. Thank you for all who can help

What color do you think is best for a wedding?
caribbean blue and somethig to accent it like silver
Reply:Those are all great colors. I personally don't think you need to choose one or two colors and make EVERYTHING match. I personally would never put a groomsman in a blue vest to match a bridesmaid in 100 years!





Your bridesmaids dresses can be one of those colors with their bouquets containing most of the others. If you look at the galleries on sites like the Knot, you'll see that a nice palette of several complimentary colors looks great for both the wedding party and reception decor!





I think the classiest looks for a groom are neutral colors (black, greys, etc) He can tie it in with his boutonniere or pocket square.
Reply:Deep colors make an evening wedding really nice. Think of a red and cream, or a dark blue and black. You also might think of what's in bloom during that season, and use the shades of the flowers you find. Dark greens always look fab too.





The most important rule, though, is do what you like. Traditional rules are going out of vogue.
Reply:My colors were blue, yellow and white. Looked very clean and very sophisticated. I just went with the theme of where my wedding was located and the colors came naturally for me. For example, I got married on the beach, so I chose naval colors.
Reply:I just love the look of ivory and champagne--a very rich combination, IMO.





We are marrying on the beach, and are having a pale sea blue and tan as colors (sand and sea)...





There are many lovely color combinations, depending on what you are doing fro your overall wedding. For example, a fall daytime wedding might best feature a nice orange or red, while a more formal evening affair might be better with copper and dark periwinkle...





I love the pink/apple green combo for an outdoor summery wedding--very fresh and happy.
Reply:I like the idea of copper, especially if it's a fall wedding. It's so dramatic, and different. A friend of mine got married in 1989 in the fall- around Halloween, and the bridesmaids wore copper, with hunter green accents, and it was so pretty. She got comments from just about everyone, that the colors were so vivid. Black for the guys is the most traditional choice regardless of what the girls wear.
Reply:Night time classic wedding you want to go with a bold color and tone color to keep balance. Caribbean blue, Beige would be a elegant but relaxing cool color for June. I am a June bride as well Going with a Sky Blue and Bright White. Hope I helped and best wishes to you in planing your special day!
Reply:I had this problem too when I got married back in December. I could not pick my colors.





We finally went with my favorite color. Our mail colors were purple and a silvery color. I guess you could say opalesique.


It was BEAUTIFUL!!!! I had my doubts but when we got to the place and it was all set up I cried.....lol





My hubby wore black pants and a silvery shirt and a purple tie. I wore my dress that was a opalesique color and the flowers were purple, silvery purple, blue and white. They were awesome! the cake was a beautiful purple combo and was done by a family friend.....








Everyone that came commented on the colors because they are not normal wedding color combo colors. We were told "that it was amazingly beautiful" "OMG the color blow me away" "such consideration is the color scheme" and so many more compliments. 2 of the attending people have since used the same color for their family weddings.
Reply:guys seem to want to wear blue.


i love the copper idea. i was going to do copper and light blue but then changed my mind. i would go for that.
Reply:I went with blue.. guys don't look that great walking around in rose or orchid even at a wedding. Beige is a bit bland and copper doesn't cut it.. try one of the blues.
Reply:Blue with a copper accent is very beautiful, can be romantic and classy, and it may still appeal to your fiance.
Reply:I would go with the blue and mabye accent it with orchid. That way the guys can wear the blue.

What do my Windsor Newton gouache colors correspond to on the color wheel?

I know this may sound ridiculous but I bought 12 tubes of gouache and I was wondering what each one was on the color wheel. I figured out some but I'm unsure of others.





Here is what I have figured out:


Primary Yellow - (Yellow)


Primary Blue - (Blue)


Primary Red - (Red)


Turquoise Blue (Blue Green)





Here is what I'm unsure of:


Golden Yellow


Marigold Yellow


Orange Lake Deep


Magenta


Light Purple


Periwinkle Blue


Brilliant Green


Permanent Green Light





Again, I know this sounds ridiculous but please help me out.





Thanks

What do my Windsor Newton gouache colors correspond to on the color wheel?
Below is a link to W%26amp;N Gouache colour chart - it's laid out just like the colour wheel from Lemon Yellow up to Linden Green (which would be next to Lemon Yellow on its left). The rest are earth colours so won't be on the wheel.


Check your colours in the order they appear on the chart, that's where they'll be on the wheel.

The previous answerer's idea of painting your own colour wheel will help make your colour theory very easy to understand.
Reply:Paint a swatch of each and compare to the color wheel you are using. They won't all match colors on the wheel but you will see where they fit in the scheme of colors, i.e. cool or warm, shade,or tint etc.





Johannes Itten "The Elements of Color" will help with color theory and Itten's 12 part color circle is excellent.


I need to know how to plant creeping phlox?

I also need to know how to plant red sedum, periwinkle and hens and chicks.

I need to know how to plant creeping phlox?
I don't know about red seedum, but creeping phlox, periwinkle, and H%26amp;C, are easy.


I take a large stick, or piece of solid metal, and push it into the ground about 4-5 inches(to get below frost line). I usually have a cart with the plants, and carry some plant/bulb food, and small shovel, and water. Put the plant in the hole, add some food, and press dirt back around plant. Add some water, and you're done! Hens and chicks run all over my Mom's bank. When she wants to move some, she does the same thing. A lot of people (like my sister) spend hours playing with the soil and plants. I find mine grow just as well-if not better-by just doing it this way. My neighbor spent a whole day, 2 years ago, preparing soil, soaking plant roots, and digging the 'perfect' hole for her bulbs. I went out with my 4-yr old granddaughter, threw our tulip and crocus bulbs on the yard. Then we took the stick, poked a hole where the bulbs fell, and dropped them in. She stepped on the dirt to push it down, and we planted 100 bulbs in about 1 1/2 hrs!


All of them have come up, but next door, only a few made it!


We just say that "Wild flowers grow where God dropped them, and so do ours!" Good luck with yours. Let me know how you make out. Connie


How should I do my make-up as a bridesmaid in a wedding?

My bridesmaid's dress is periwinkle and strapless. Anyway, I am very tan and have almond shaped almost black eyes. (I am not oriential, but my eyes look like I might be 1/2 or 1/4) What should I do for eye make up? Should I use periwinkle eye shadow? What about eye liner? I use black eyeliner everyday to make my eyes "pop". What should I do for this occation???

How should I do my make-up as a bridesmaid in a wedding?
I say lavender eyeshadow...it looks gorg when ure wearing pastel colors...and I would suggest some blush and pink lipgloss...dont overdo it...weddings are a happy event...no drastic makeup!
Reply:You should keep your makeup as natural as possible. DO NOT match your eye shadow to your dress. Either use a a natural beige or taupe with some sparkle or go for the smoky eye look. If you are doing a dramitic eye, go very natural on the lip. a sheer pink gloss would look nice. Do not over-do the blush, keep it light and natural.





You may want to try to go to a couple of department store makeup counters for tips, which could be hit or miss, or just try a few websites and practice on your own until you find a look you are comfortable with.

Reply:Please do not make the mistake of matching your eyeshadow to your dress. The best thing is probably emphasize your eyes and make them kinda smokey. Dont' wear black eyeliner though cuz most likely there will be some crying involved. I think a dark gray or dark metallic brown would look good. Try MAC products...they have a great range of color
Reply:What time is the wedding? If it is 5 or earlier, be very natural and subtle. 6 or later can be a little more dramatic.


The most important thing is to not upstage the bride, and your make-up should be similar to the other bridesmaids.
Reply:i'd say go light on the make up because you dont want it to look like you are trying to steal the spot light, go with a light pink or purple(periwinkle) and little to no eyeliner. maybe a light pink blush and some lip gloss.
Reply:do something nice and natural, its a wedding. do something easy so you dont have to go through the hassle of reapplying make-up every 20 mins.do the black eyeliner and a nice light eyeshadow.. you should also ask the bride for some advice she should be good help

Why do my periwinkles/vinca shrivel up and die one by one?

I have tried to plant them for years, but everytime they brown and wither then completely die. I have changed the soil completely and they die one at a time so I don't think it's the amount of light they are getting or they would all look bad.

Why do my periwinkles/vinca shrivel up and die one by one?
planting them too early in the season
Reply:You want mine? They are taking over my lawn and garden!!





Mine live in a shady spot under the trees in my yard, and have just kept spreading. I'm not sure what kind of nutrition is in that soil, but it's much more damp.
Reply:They respond well to sun but need lots and lots of water either morning or night. I have planted them for years and have great succss. They even tolerate heat.
Reply:They do need a lot of water. I have many vinca in containers and must water them at least every other day. They also require a lot of sun. They can stand partial shade (that is, shade in the morning or afternoon), but don't do well in a very shady area.





Mine are pretty hardy, but they are easy to lose if they don't get enough water.

When should i clear my garden?

I have inherited an overgrown garden with my new house - what is the best time to gut it (pretty much) and put in new stuff- i also want to put in a patio area and a play area for my son. It's covered in bindweed, periwinkle, weeds and more weeds.

When should i clear my garden?
I would wait until late spring - say late march. if there are spring bulbs they will show up by then, and everything else will still be dormant from winter. Try to leave some of the structural details (eg trees) as they add character to a garden.
Reply:first plan your back yard... anywhere you are going to have for flowers go through and decided if there is anything you want to keep.. if not.. well i would start now.. clear the weeds and find some perennials (not annuals) and plant them now.. they will have fall and winter to establish their roots, (plants may not grow in the winter, but many plants take the chance to put the energy into their roots to make them stronger. planting in the fall is a gardeners secret.
Reply:you can start now, dont rush, start digging small areas taking up as much weed root as u can, cover with weed control fabric (from any garden centre) hold in place with bricks to stop it blowing away. The weeds will be suppressed as they need light to grow. this will give you time to plan your garden without worrying about the weeds taking over even more.
Reply:The best time to do any household chore is always NOW !!
Reply:First of all, start with a plan, go out and walk around the area and jot down what you want each area of your yard to have, rather a garden, a patio or a play area. Check out some landscaping books from your library or get some magazines, jotting down ideals you like.





Next measure out your house and draw a sketch of your house, yard etc. adding the new areas you want to put in.





This fall is the best time to kill out the areas of growth you want to get rid of and to reseed your yard.





Come spring you can plant the new plants and do the other work.





Enjoy and have fun!!
Reply:A good garden is in the planning. Draw a landscape plan (to scale) and make sure you know exactly what you're putting in where.





You can take out everything you don't want and save things you do such as any trees or the more expensive shrubs.
Reply:When the weather is good, meaning no snow or too chilly.
Reply:start now.rip it all out give it a weed kill and by time springs here you can be ready to lay turf build walls and lay patios
Reply:i think the best time to clear it would be just before the spring when all the weeds have already died back over the winter not giving them the chance to come back. but some you may have to tackle by the root like bindweed and ragwort.
Reply:this time of year is the best to start clear all the undergrowth and get the hard landscaping done


IE your Patio etc


if your planting shrubs and trees then do that next but wait for spring for most flowers with the exception of Spring bulbs which can go in at the same time as the shrubs





Lawn is best laid in the autumn when its damp as is lawn seed but don't cut until spring





you will find that the weeds will still come through but regular weeding will keep them down


there is an old saying "one year of seeding 7 years of weeding "





Believe me it's true
Reply:There is no time like the present get started immediately although be warned once you start you will find it is a never ending battle. Try not to let too many seeds drop into the ground from the weeds you are clearing. Old saying one years seeds 7 years weeds


How can I find the manufacturer of a french country antique cabbage rose quilt?

I am looking for the manufacturer of a french chic antique cabbage rose or also known as english rose garden quilt. I have found this quilt on Ebay and Overstock .com. On Overstock .com catalog #10087542. I also have a model #GL-WB0726.





This is a beautiful quilt with an antique tea background. With a romantic French blend of colors including melon rose and pink roses, butter yellow, sage green, rose and a touch or French periwinkle blue. It has several prints consisting of roses, wildflowers, vintage roses, and cabbage roses along with a ticking stripe and garlands of flowers.





I want to find the manufacturer to inquire about purchasing fabric to make window treatments. According to the two vendors I have found to have this item there are none available.





Any help is appreciated,





Pat

How can I find the manufacturer of a french country antique cabbage rose quilt?
I'm sorry, I couldn't find the manufacturer for you. An alternative is to take samples of the fabric (say, the shams) with you to a quilt shop and try to find something similar, or at least complementary. That style is very similar to some popular fabrics currently available. Check out Hancocks of Paducah, an excellent online quilting and home decorating fabric store. Search or browse through the florals. One designer in particular to check out is Three Sisters by Moda fabrics. They have several lines that have a similar feel. Check out Faded Memories, the Three Sisters Favorite (especially Paris Flea Market), and Seaside Rose. These are just the ones available through Hancocks - also check out eBay for Moda Three Sisters, Gingham Rose, or ask your local quilt shop if they have any of these lines (or similar fabrics).





Good luck - it's a beautiful set.
Reply:the seller from ebay didn't say where they got the quilt?


How should I paint my room (teenage girl)?

-I'm 17


-My walls are currently a few shades darker than periwinkle


-I LOVE change


-I'm considering lime green


-I have a large bed with white bedding and a very elaborate brass headboard.


-My room has five walls


-I also toyed with the idea of sponging metalic silver and gold over the current color.


Please be as creative as you desire...ANY idea are welcome. I want something hip, fun, and unique!





Thanks

How should I paint my room (teenage girl)?
Lime green and silver! Perfect! I would paint four walls lime green and do a pattern that fits you like stripes or polka dots (or get a doily and use it for a pattern) of silver and then on the wall with your door paint it silver and do the pattern different in lime green.
Reply:I think that you should have fun with YOUR ROOM! Because it will express who YOU are ..and your artful ways,and personality! I love aesthetic things too!


A bedroom that I fell in love with had two colors on each half of these two sisters side of the bed(they had a bunk bed) they had one side that was like a pastel lime green,and the other was a light lavender! I really liked their idea..plus they had a ribbon from one end of the wall to another..and little clothes pins holding photos, with their friends and family hanging on them..as well as say a ribbon for something that they had won and also some jewelry and or a party invitation as well ! I was a nanny at that time, taking care of their little brother..and, he and I used to go by the room...he loved his big sisters sooo much and missed them when they weren't at home, so around the bend from his room we would walk to his sisters..and hang for a smidge!


I liked their room alot! It was filled with colorful items..and books and such..it was a great room!





I love places that are homey and comfy!

Reply:Lime green and brass. Too close to the same color. Should be med dark green which will contrast with the brass.
Reply:I wouldnt suggest it. Go with something more adult that you will be able to grow and appreciate. You may like change but someday it will be nice to work with your decoarating overtime and create a place you can apprectiate. I love finding things to match my room at random stores. It makes my room special and unique. Lime green will get old fast. Find a picture or decoration with colors that you love and work around it. Trust me in the end it will pay off!!!
