Citrus and Chinese New Year

Being from Florida, I am partial to eating oranges in the winter, since they are at their freshest. Turns out, oranges are also popular for Chinese New Year (or lunar new year). They are considered symbols of abundance and good fortune {and their golden hue doesn’t hurt!} so they are often seen around town, used for decorations and gifts. We even have one in our office!

As Chinese New Year is quickly approaching {we have a couple of days off next week!}, here’s a beautiful wreath from Design*Sponge using winter citrus. Make it just for fun, or to add to a celebration of dumplings and fireworks this weekend!

Adding a New Color?

I love color {I don’t think this is news}. But I have a lot of rules about what colors I will wear and what goes together. Purple, green, blue, yellow, red– all on the good list. Pink, orange –on the no list. I’m challenging myself to mix more colors (3 if I can!) and I’m feeling like I may need to extend my net a little further. With Tangerine Tang0 as this year’s hottest color, I feel like orange may be that color.
