The Colour of the Year 2021 as determined by the Colour Marketing Group

Each year we are informed of what the colour of the year will be by the Colour Marketing Group.  This year there are two  Pantonne Colours  -Ultimate Gray and Illuminating a bright yellow 

A not-for-profit, international association of color design professionals, Color Marketing Group ® is a forum for the exchange of all things color. Members represent a broad spectrum of designers, marketers, color scientists, consultants, educators, and artists.




It is said that the Pantonne Colours of 2021 are a marriage of color conveying a message of strength and hopefulness that is both enduring and uplifting.  A dynamic duo. Perfect for this coming year. They are two independent colors that highlight how different elements come together to support one another,

The Holidays Came and went....

 My last post was a little late but I am back. We ended up staying in a hotel for 3 months because it was difficult to find a new home unless you joined into bidding wars which we didn't. We finally found it without a bidding war and closed in 2 weeks. We just moved into a the new house and a new town.  It has been quite an experience since we have lived in our previous home for 25 years.  You can really collect a lot in that time.  I did some major purging but it just wasn't enough.  Our new home is smaller and our plan was to symplify things.  We will get there eventually.  I have been unpacking and there will be many more items that I say goodbye to.  I don't need so much around me.  We are now in the middle of January with no snow to speak of.  The good part of being locked down due to COVID is that I can't go out to stores shopping.  I love looking and checking out the newest items in the stores even though I will have to be careful not to buy more.  At least not until I manage to purge more.

The best part of January is that we welcomed a beautiful granddaughter into the family.  She was born 1 day before her brother's birthday.  There will be great celebrations in the future. 

That's it for now
