Orange is my pink.

As a girl my mom never dressed me in pink. There isn't even a baby picture of me in pink. She always said she felt it wasn't a good color for redheads. Part of me thinks it was more her not buying into gender roles etc. Whatever her reason. I never wore pink. But lots and lots of orange. I remember an orange and yellow plaid pantsuit. I remember an orange parka and snowpants. I remember a winter toque with an orange edging that I never wanted to take off. A chocolate brown dress for Christmas with tiny orange flowers...

I still love orange. I did go through a serious pink phase some years ago. I even wore a pink dress at our wedding. A bit of rebellion perhaps? I don't think so. There are just so many wonderful pinks out there (I have even seen my mom - a redhead as well - in pink of late!)

But I don't think I own any orange clothing now. But there is orange throughout our home. Here are a few spots I found while getting ready this morning...









This will be my last color post as I try not to spend time on the computer over the weekends. (Kind of ironic as tomorrow is pink and pink - right now - rules as far as the big bug is concerned. We do laundry loads of pink...) I have really enjoyed this. Thanks so much Shash for the wonderful idea. You can see a rainbow of colors here.

Have a wonderful weekend!

I have been toying with the idea of trying to organize a kid's CD swap. What do you think? Having never done anything like this before I am a little hesitant... and would love some feedback.
