What springs to mind when you hear the word ‘colour’? Do you imagine a technicolour rainbow? A single block of your favourite shade? The colour of your or someone else’s skin? The contents of your knicker drawer? The possibilities are endless.
Colour is everywhere.
When I heard the theme for week 3 of ‘The Gallery’ was ‘Colour‘ I knew exactly what I wanted to do.
I occasionally treat myself to a bunch of flowers to enhance my mood and brighten the living room. I always choose them for their colour and the scent is simply and added bonus.
When I spotted these beautiful, long stem, pale cream roses I knew they just had to be mine.
So soft and perfect. The colour just oozes serenity and composure, both traits for which I am longing for right now!
Wonder if I could persuade my husband that I need a bunch of these beauties every week?
If you want to take part in the The Gallery pop on over to Sticky Fingers to find out what it’s all about.
