Reason to rejoice...and more

I was spending some time at my favorite furniture store the other day and meeting with several manufactures reps..and viewing their new fabric offerings. Just as I predicted..the new color offerings are the rich blues and saturated tones of green..fabulous red prints..clear warm yellows and pumpkin oranges...the dusty, watered down shades with their mushroom colors and grey tones finally are taking a back seat to lovely rich colors that we all love.
And just in time for the January sales to come..

Which brings me to another point..Its time to decorate for the holidays..and although the economy is not completely back to normal...there are wonderful signs of renewed optimism all around us...the Philadelphia Eagles stadium is going green..with plans to create all its own energy with the sun..And how about that GM stock? It hit the market higher than expected. My Stock in Ford is also doing very well..

In closing.. this holiday season we will be careful with our dollars..we all learned a big lesson...but we can celebrate on a refined and rich level..like we've not done in a long time...with color and lots of it...to make our homes festive and generous in a new way...and if you can..buy an extra turkey for your local food pantry..they still need our help...
