Colour-a journey by Victoria Alexander published by Murdoch Books.
It is beautifully written and gives a fascinating history of colour, not a deep, scientific, cold history but a fun, colourful, interesting and thought provoking look at colour. Her photographs are beautiful too and you could buy it just for those but she also gives you ideas on how to use colour in your life to enrich it.

The snow came but did not stick around. We may have a sprinkle tonight.
Lunch at our house.
Which was a relaxed affair.
It has been so cold today, sunny one minute and snowing the next. With a biting wind.
My Nan would of said it was 'a lazy wind-it went right through you'

We are having one of you Nan's days. Windy most of the day. I hated the wind. Can't hardly stand the wind, but we get a lot of it. And now we have snow. Wondering just how much we will get. the weather man says not much. We need more.Lovely flower pictures. Happy Mothering Day, after the fact.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely beautiful photos, and I love your embroidered tablecloth, Lyn! xxx
ReplyDeleteI could do with some colour in my life right now! Beautiful flowers Lyn. x
ReplyDeleteSounds like my kinda book. Your images are lovely! Hope you are having a wonderful week. Tammy
ReplyDeleteLove your photos and even better is the saying from your Nan! I've not heard the 'lazy wind' bit before. x
ReplyDeleteI do appreciate that you called it Mothering Sunday, so many people don't. I'm glad you had a good day.
ReplyDeleteI was going to say that I have that book but I don't, I have one called Colour and it is by Victoria Finla,y published in 2002, which I have read quite a few times, this too is a very absorbing book. though I shall have to investigate this other one as well.
We are having a few of your Nan's days! It is so cold. I have introduced my colour into our home over the past few years and your book on colour looks so interesting.

and then there was snow!
DeleteYour table looks so inviting. We've certainly had a lazy wind down here the last few days.
ReplyDeleteThat book looks good - I came across an extract from it in a magazine a while back and what I read was fascinating. Such a pretty tablecloth.

Color brightens up everything. We finally have some daffodils in bloom and sun.
