Lagoon Color Story Giveaway

Congratulations!

Mercedes F. 
 
you're the winner for last week's 
giveaway
 please email your name and street address to:
info@michaelmillerfabrics.com


Now for today's color story:
This has been one of the most popular color stories ever.  It used to be known as "the money color " in  New York's  garment center/ dress business.  Whatever the latest color trends were, this winner would always be added to the lineup because it always sells. 

The whole range of blues, teals, emerald and turquoise with touches of lime.  The depth and intensity of the colors may change from year to year but it's attraction stays constant.  I think it's our  connection to nature that draws us to it.  The blues of the sky, the turquoise of water and the green shades of nature.
  Is this your go-to color story?  Does it resonate with you?
leave a comment, let me know and you could win a yard of each of the Lagoon color story prints pictured above.  
The random winner will be announced next wednesday.


And I'd like to say to all you east coast folks 
dealing with the aftermath of Hurricane Irene;
this week's water theme color story is purely coincidental.
Here's to calmer times and the soothing effects of
natures' favorite 
blue and green palette.

    I have a soft spot in my heart for teals because way back when, twenty-six years ago, when I started dating my sweetheart, he referred to every color by its primary name except for "teal". He knew he liked teal, and once, in a moment of extreme daring, even wore a teal pocket square.

    I love these colors combined in different shades, and they find their way into my home frequently!!! I think the reason why is exactly like you mentioned;reminders of nature. I love the ocean,beaches, meadows,peaceful places to go to to be refreshed!And that is how these colors work for me. Breezy, calm, and fresh;-)

    Having just gone through hurricane irene, I appreciate the calmer side of nature and I love the calm colors of a bright sunny days the sweet shades of turquiose and calm shades of greeny trees blowing gently in the breeze. I think some nice throw pillows to remind me of such days when the weather has changed will keep me happy all winter.

    Just found your site...and am stuck in the middle of the country...no oceans...but have a one acre pond with frogs and pond algea, lovely cat tails and bluegreen water surrounded by lush greens against a bright blue sky...I have traveled with moves in a military family...more moves than I care to count...traveling from sea to shining sea and then overseas to distant shores...I love sea glass...and I recently renovated my master bath from the dingy pink mauve colored stained carpet to a fresh linen colored italian tile with dark aqua(teal) colored walls...It is dreamy and serene...I am excited about this whole colorline and am pleased to be a new reader addition to your blog!

    We just dealt with Irene out here, but the power is back and water has receded. And these aquas and limes are my go to colors! Just today my kids & I were talking about favorites colors and they said "we know your mom, blue & green!" they know we well. And so do you it seems....PLEASE pick me! I could use some of these colors to calm me...with school starting and lots to clean from Irene.... ; )

    I have always loved these colors and I'd would dearly love to pass them on to the grandchild we're expecting in April! They are neither boy nor girl, but they are certainly very cool and I want to do something very cool for this new little one.

    I am a hot pink girl by nature - but when I need to really think and just be calm - I head to my bedroom - my oasis in blues, greens and creme.
