Southern Chick says:Thanks Lynn….Do you remember a blue and yellow Waverly wallpaper back in the 90s…I’m so sad that these colors aren’t “in” anymore. I still love them.

Mommykat Bubbly Chick says:Oh, this is very pretty! I love all these yellows. And the pearls go well w/ them!

Southern Chick says:Thank you so much Jill…Do we just defy the current “fashion gurus” and do our own thing or what?!? Personally, I’m old (mature) enough to do what I please. You’re on a roll with your gorgeous picks…Love seeing them all.
On Jul 10, 2009 at 1:09 pm #
Lynn Eileen Chicky LE says:Why aren’t these colors considered “in” for us to wear? I love them!
On Jul 10, 2009 at 1:15 pm #
Southern Chick says:Lynn I don’t call the fashion shots..I just don’t see them much anymore around here. LOL
Maybe if enough beaders join together we could FORCE the fashion market?!!?

Lynn Eileen Chicky LE says:Hey, that idea works for me, Donna!

CAS says:Chicks WE ARE FASHION!! We can set the trends (why should Design gurus & Fashionistas have all the power), what we say is “in” is “in”. Look at it this way, if “we” don’t buy it, then it’s NOT “in” no matter what’s said. RIGHT! POWER TO THE CHICKYS!!!!

Helen G aka tea chick says:As someone who is working on a lapis/denim lapis/ honey stone necklace and bracelet at the moment, I say these colors always work well. After all, if they’re good enough for Claude Monet (who used them in his house) and the nation of Sweden, they’re good enough for me! One of the great things about working in a craft like beadwork (and LB fresh picks in particular) is that you can really explore new (and old) color combinations without someone else dictating rules. It’s certainly helped me expand my horizons!

Love these strong bright colors, Donna.

Leslie W Mtn Chick says:Love the colors and the name!!! I remember being in love with these colors in the 70′s and 80′s. I redid my little old kitchen in yellow and white checked wallpaper on three sides, and the third wall was a lovely watercolor flower print with blues, yellows and light browns. No brand names to the patterns, though. Just bought a great wire wrapped bracelet for $6.00 at a local craft show with all the colors of the rainbow in seedbeads wrapped around wire circles and squares. I needed a little “bling” for summer….(It probably was sneaked from China, but once in a while I let myself do this…)

Southern Chick says:Well hi y’all! I’ve been at the pottery again today. I was stunned to see this as the POD. I saw it and almost didn’t recognize it…duh! Oh well, thank you again for all your sweet comments.
