cori kindred here again! it's about this time of year (between the twinkle of the holidays and the full-blown splendor of spring) that i find myself *craving* color (the same way i crave chocolate and / or potato chips at about 3:30pm pretty much every afternoon). so i found some images to hopefully tide me over until spring really is here.
a diy pompom garland ~ how pretty would this look hanging... well absolutely anywhere!

i'm in love with everything at amy nieto's little bright studio shop, especially her "you are awesome" prize ribbons (which come with their own certificate of awesome!).

Great images! I love all of them and have reblog the one of the car! Thanks for sharing, Mireille
Yes, craving color on this grey March day! So many beautiful photos. Watched the movie Summertime from 1955 last night and the scences on Murano looked just like the fishing village in that gorgeous photo!

Oh and I've been to that little Italian fishing village with my husband... there is a hiking trail along those mountains called Lovers Lane- it really is picturesque :)
Thanks for the memories, the inspiration and the COLOR!
Thank you soooo much for these - in terms of both the pick-me-up and the inspiration. This is exactly what I needed on a rainy day in NYC!
LOVE! Here's even more color if you haven't already had enough: http://pinterest.com/kemi82jp/color/

i've been to cinque terre and it's just as magnificent in person. the perfect place to visit on a day dream before spring finally arrives!
Love a bright party.
This post is made of awesome. So gorgeous! So ready for spring and colour.
Love the bug! and the yarn tied around the gifts, I'll definitely do that!
I have totally been craving color, too, Cor! I have been taking a special moment to appreciate every time I see someone making a bold color move like yellow boots or a purple coat. :-)
Pom poms make me happy too! Thanks for the bright, cheery post on this gray weather day on the north-west coast.
What a gorgeous post! I'm definitely craving some uplifting colour these days!
