yellow light

It's not quite reached Spring here in Hobart, it's been pouring, and quite a dark dreary day, but I know it's going to end soon! Even though in the fields we see the colour of Spring in it's glorious yellow form in daffodils, and silver wattle.
Maybe what we need is a shot of yellow in our houses for lifting our lagging Spring spirits?
In the form of candlelight...

Green Therapy

Not sure whether blogging in the wee hours, and meditating on green is going to help my insomnia, but anyway...here is a little green love for you today!  I think green is slowly taking over from blue, being my fav colour. 
According to Peaceful Mind, green is for nurturing, generosity, harmony, assertiveness and to help heal loss.

oops, sorry can't remember where this one came from.

Green therapy also states, that 'In using green -- we must accept and allow love in our hearts and learn to give it without expecting anything in return. When our heart center is balanced, we are able to give positive feelings and happiness, unconditionally.' 

Ah...so that's why God invented green.  Well, it makes sense to me anyway.

Don't know about you, but I need green in my life right now.

What is the colour that makes you happy?

Sunflower therapy

'Oh Charlie, I think sunflowers are the happiest flower of all...'

After the longest of weekends, with dh mostly incapacitated from the fall on Friday, and me thinking I now had three children, (no honestly, he wasn't that bad), the best and thriftiest way to cheer things up a little was to introduce couple of sunflowers to the house.  I kept them on our small kitchen bench, where they completely got in the way, but I didn't care, because I needed their sunny yellowness very much.

They came from this field...

I love yellow and green, it's currently my fav combo of colour.

 (I was going to do a yellow and green post actually, but I'll save it for another day!)

Yellow really is the colour of joy isn't it?

You can't possibly feel down while looking at it.

So at only $1.00 per stem, I couldn't resist...

I bought 2 home with me, they come from the same place we buy a lot of our fruit and veg from...a place know for the freshness of it's produce.  Lucky us.

The natural coloured twine bag was $4.00 from the op shop.

Huz is having another x-ray today to establish whether anything is actually broken...so we have to wait and see.   So, while my little lassie is sleeping, I am going to cut out some bibs for the next market - I need to get lots done, as I am mostly out of stock, and they are one of my best sellers.  I just wish they weren't so darn fiddly!

I hope you have enjoyed this Monday's thrifty post...see you later in the week, I hope yours is a good one.
