Pink, blue and a touch of red

For about three years I wrote a blog in Portuguese, Casa de Retalhos, there I met so many amazing like-minded women, in fact I had the pleasure to meet four of them in person. Most are Brazilians, but not all of them, one is a talented young lady from Turkey, and when I saw this crochet case on her Etsy store I immediately felt inspired by its classic pink and blue combo.

Colors attract me like sugar attracts ants, oh yes I am having a problem with ants... never mind, but as I wrote here I don't feel confident to mix and match them, this is something that requires practice and experiment, so I thought it was time again for a mix 'n' match photo shoot post.

And here it is, my love story with blue, pink and a touch or red.

Just a little something to start...

Pretty fabrics and ribbons for color inspiration.

Tea time with pretty flowers.

My eyes get brighter when I see ribbons, it makes me wonder what I can use them for... Once I made a bathroom curtain with lace and ribbons... I wish I had taken pictures of it...

My desk became an inspirational board with lovely bits and pieces. I felt overwhelmed with ideas, specially looking at Kat Macleod's collage drawing.

Like-daisy flowers on a gorgeous blue cup I bought at a flea market, and a touch of a simply beautiful shade of pink ribbon.

I believe these will be the last red roses from my garden this season, they look so noble.

So there you are, I hope you enjoy these photographs and feel inspired to put together your own color palette.

See you back here soon.
