I Love: Grey

I don't think I've ever talked about how much I really love grey. I used to wear it all the time. It feels like a soft color to me when it is light and sophisticated when it's dark. And it is the color of mourning doves and my first born cat, Stanley, still kickin' (though a little slower) at 16 (84 in human years!!). And paired with teal, it's about as perfect as a color can get.

Whilst surfing, I found these lovely scarfs by Powder. Yes, I know that we can knit, but isn't it nice to occasionally buy something beautiful?

I am currently cleaning and painting my mom's new condo, so posts may be a bit sporadic. But I love to paint (there's nothing like a freshly painted wall to spruce up a place) so I couldn't turn down the opportunity!
