A Bit Of Turquoise

  


This is a pretty vintage turquoise necklace
I think I am going to have my very talented sister change it into a bracelet.

Then I will sell it at the The Old School Market on May 28th!
Tea Cups & Saucers on a shelf in our garden.
A This little turquoise chair I sold @ my last sale.

Aren't these the cutest bookends!



Wearing a Turquoise Cross Country Shirt....
Our youngest daughter
about 4 years ago when she first bought her horse! 

                                                                                                                                                                                               You have seen this mirror before but its worth a second peek!
 and this pillow...in of all things TURQUOISE  TICKING!
Turquoise bedding!

I am drawn to this colour...
 is it because its fresh...sweet ...happy!

Are you drawn to this colour?...Can you explain the attraction to me?

    It's my fave colour. I just purchased a pair of turquoise Converse. I think I love it because it's a colour that makes me happy yet it's so calming.

    I love love turqoise! It is my favourite stone!
    I have a beautiful Persian turquoise bead necklace. The beads are rough not shiny an incredible piece. I was fortunate to get it due to my mom owning a jewellery store and having an afganistan dealer. I also got lapis beads from him.
    Love your photos Colleen. How lucky is your daughter to have her own horse!! Every girls dream!!!

    Hey Colleen....I'll just be there shopping. I was going to go as a vendor but my oldest son is graduating this June and I figured I would be just too overwhelmed with it all!

    No, I just can't explain it, cause I'm really NOT a "blue" kinda girl...but having said this, I become weak in the knees, and completely swoon over this delicious color...and as you know, it has worked it's way all through my little home.
    Such a beautiful post!
    .....miss you...xoxo...R

    I love the color, but don't have much of it. Have one necklace that I enjoy wearing in the summer, but that's about it....my favorite color is RED! Thanks so much for your visit and sweet comments!

    It's a wonderful springy, summery color. Eyecatching, and delicious.

    I have another turquoise blog that I read, thought you might like to see it.
