There’s nothing like a gorgeous neon sunset over Hanalei Bay in HI. :)

Happy Friday!

My Valentine’s Day message came in the form of alphabet magnets this year. :) The neon yellow, red, green, and orange reminds me of sherbert ice cream.

Hope your week has been filled with looooooove. Happy Friday!

Here’s a color combination to get you in the mood for the holidays! A splash of neon orange adds a unexpected, modern pop of color to a palette of Christmas Red, silver, gray, and slate.

A tip for updating a traditional Christmas color palette :: keep ONE traditional color (red or green), add ONE unexpected accent color, then use white, silver, gray, or an earth tone (tan, brown, taupe) as a neutral.

I sincerely hope kids are still using snail mail to write letters to Santa. The day they all send emails will be a sad one.

Happy Friday! Best of luck battling the mall front this weekend. (Or, if you don’t feel like venturing out, check out the Pretty Peas Paperie Etsy Shop for fun holiday paper and gifts!)

As you may be aware, the local nursery* is where I find most of my color inspiration. This African plant caught my eye because of its neon yellows, greens, and pinks…such a trendy little thing. :)

*I learned this month that people on the East Coast don’t call “garden centers” nurseries. Is that true?
