Inspiration Monday!

Talk about inspiration.  Wait till you see this *little piece of heaven* that our friend Kristen brought in as her color swatch for this weekend's consult!  First we must set the stage with our own swatches {which usually are lovely and pleasing to the eye, especially when the color combo is as elegant and classic as the colors Kristen selected}.  So we pulled out a few samples of garnet, ivory, and charcoal from which she could choose.

 

We chatted about the correct color of charcoal and ivory, ate a few cookies, and then we asked about the garnet.  After waxing eloquent about how a true garnet color has an amber undertone, and that I know that because it's my birthstone {Tammi}, Kristen brought out HER swatch, the highlight of our day...
*angels sing, the heavens open*... ta-da!!!

IS THAT THE MOST BEAUTIFUL COLOR SWATCH YOU'VE EVER SEEN?!?!?!  It's just a crying shame that these little *princesses* are going to be hidden underneath layers of fabric.  We wish we were better photographers.  This photo doesn't do it justice.  You should see the heel.  Actually, here it is off the web.

Maybe 6 inches high?  Absolutely gor-geous!  I'll tell you what.  We were INSPIRED!  If that doesn't do it for you, nothing will.
Happy Monday.

Thank you, Eric!

More posts more often! We just found out how we can blog from our phones. Thank you, Eric!

Thankful Thursday

 Thankful Thursday.  Today, just today, can we digress from paper talk and give a little *shout out* to our one-in-a-million husbands {two-in-a-million?}

Although you may say it has nothing to do with our work, we say it has everything to do with our business.   These are the guys who have been with us through thick and thin, our biggest cheerleaders {without the skirts!} and our honest critics.










We will spare you the sappy sweetness, but maybe there's still enough Valentine's Day sentimentality left out there to grant us this little web love indulgence!

Monday Inspiration

onday, Monday. Given a bad rap the world over, and immortalized by the Mamas & the Papas.  But here at the Pomegranate Basket we've decided to give it a makeover.  We are going to make it {Inspiration Monday}!  Everyone needs a little pick-me-up on Monday morning, so we are happy to oblige!

What inspires you?  Today we were inspired by a garland of paper *daisies* in a store window,

            by the color swatches on our desk,









by the gorgeous snow-covered mountains that looked so close you could reach out and touch them.

We are inspired by so many different things.  Find your individual inspiration today.  Look for it in the smile of a child, a newly opened flower, {our blog}!  Oh, yes, and keep your eyes open for our daisies.  We suspect they will be featured in an upcoming photo shoot.  In the words of the internet-savvy Kathleen Kelly (You've Got Mail)...I love daisies. They're so friendly. Don't you think daisies are the friendliest flower?

Happy Monday!
