Hello and happy weekend friends! Thanks so much to all of the participants in the Craft Link Party, you amaze me! There are 600+ holiday projects to explore so I encourage you to hop around and get inspired!
I was out of town this week in Atlanta for a quick trip so this week’s Friday Finds is a short one, not too many links today. I’m still recovering from several nights of very little sleep so I’m happy to spend a quiet weekend at home and decorate our Christmas tree, perhaps do some local shopping too. Here are a few interesting links I came across this week, enjoy.
Perhaps you’ve heard that Emerald was announced as Pantone’s Color of the Year for 2013, following what’s been hot in fashion. Are you a fan of this jewel tone?

I love emerald color, sadly I don’t own any but I’d love to own some day. :) I am excited to see some spark of green in 13 because I am bored of seeing pinks, grey and blacks (but I m not bored of wearing them.) lol.
Thanks.

Shopping, Style and Us
We named our newest addition “Oakes” from Isaiah 61:3! Compared to some of those baby names, it is not sounding odd at ALL!
I hope you enjoyed your trip in GA! I wish I was able to visit Atlanta… Seems like a nice and vibrant city.
I love the color toned dishes! This gives me the perfect idea. I may do this in my kitchen :)
Thanks for sharing!
I love emerald – my birthstone! As a pale brunette I look pretty good in jewel tones so I am happy with this choice :)
Great links! Enjoy decorating the christmas tree.
I have those Fiesta ware bowls and dishes! I have them paired with yellow, scarlet, and turquoise. It’s such a fun color, but I don’t think I would like it in large quantities, a little bit here and there is perfect. :)
My favorite green is Soft Fern from Benjamin Moore. I just love it. Otherwise, I am not a big fan of green. Probably cause I am a nurse and people who aren’t feeling well look awful in green. Do yourself a favor and never buy green sheets. Or green nightgowns. Even emerald. Well, maybe if you are a ginger, otherwise, just say no.
I love the emerald color! I am glad Pantone made emerald the color of the year for 2013. I agree with the other poster who said she was bored of pink – me too!
I was also a fan of the turquoise color that Pantone made color of the year in 2010. I love mid-range blue and green colors.
Luv it! For this long time blue & then green lover…emerald is divine.
