Montisi, Italy Garden Center

Montisi, Italy Door

Today for my first entry of Thursday Doors, I am presenting the doors of a garden center in Montisi, Italy! This was a long, narrow, building with several doors, where flowers and trees were lined up for viewing and sale, in this very small village in Italy! It just goes to show you doors and flowers go together, and women are women, they want a garden or patch of flowers! If you are looking for an authentic Italian, Tuscan, Hilltop Village you have come to the right place! Montisi, population 500, even offers a unique, guided map for a tour of their village! For a look at more of my favorite Italian Doors in Montisi, look Here! Enjoy!

I have over 37,000 photos in my Collections and I swear half of them are DOORS! So you will see me here a lot!

This is just one of many photos in the Thursday Door Collection featured by Norm2.0! Won’t you join in or take a peak at all the doors?

My Scarlet Shoes

It’s Spring and time to think about new shoes!

I think every woman should own at least one pair of Scarlet shoes, don’t you? Nothing perks you up and makes you feel sexy than Scarlet shoes! Scarlet shoes can make even the plainest/dullest outfits come alive! I love my Scarlet shoes! I love all these shoes, especially, because they are good for traveling!

Multi Colored Dress Up Shoe

Go With Everything Casual Shoe

They are stylish, lightweight, versatile, and support your foot with those elastic, stretchy bands. If they get dirty (no way), but if they do, you throw them in the washing machine! Voila good as new! Who knew they could make such a practical and stylish shoe? As you see I have different styles and colors for every adventure. There are oodles to select from! I buy them at the Charleston Shoe Company, in Charleston, South Carolina. You can order them online too, take a peek!

PS I don’t have nail fungus! It looks like I do, if you look close up at my feet in these pictures! I painted my toes a funky green for Easter! SB told me to Never use that color again! OK, OK, an experiment that did not work!

Scarlet was the name given to Torch Red in the 1998 Crayola Collection. It is also known as Shag Carpet Orange in the “Retro Colors” set. It is Chili Pepper Red, and the color for New Mexico in the “State Crayon Collection.”

Color Your World: 120 Days of Crayola; Red Violet

Le Lapin Sauté, Quebec City, Canada

For Easter weekend I think we should concentrate on all things rabbit, don’t you? One of my favorite restaurants in Quebec City, is Le Lapin Sauté, The Jumping Rabbit in old French, or the Cooked Rabbit in English! Not only does this restaurant have very tasty soups, entrées, and desserts (not all rabbit dishes, ha ha), the french bistro ambiance is so romantic! We never pass up an opportunity to eat here when we are Quebec City. You can’t miss it, located in the Quartier Petit Champlain area, as it is one of the most stylishly decorated spots in any season! Just look at all those Red Violet, painted pots which make the beautiful display at the entrance to Le Lapin Sauté! You may sit outdoors or in! For a look at the decorations of the restaurant in other seasons, and the inside of the restaurant, just look Here! Enjoy!

Red Violet is another oldie in the Crayola Collection, added in 1930. It is known as Ultra Violet in the “Techno Brite” series and Rock ‘n Roll Raspberry, the color for Ohio, in the “State Crayon Collection.”

Color Your World:120 Days of Crayola; Red

Red Trolley of New Orleans

Well as would be expected there is much ado about Red with Crayola! Red has been part of the Crayola Collection since the beginning, 1903. There are several interesting names for Red in other Crayola Collections too such as: Candy Apple Red in the “So Big” set, Lobster Red and Mercury Red in the “Discovery” series, Scarlet Red, found only in the “Scarlet Pimpernel” set, and Crabby Red in the “Colors of Baltimore” series. Lobster Red is the color for Maine in the “State Crayon Collection” and it is known as Ladybug Red in the “110th Anniversary” Collection. But, my all time favorite, for Red, is Alice’s Lipstick in the special “Colors of Binney & Smith” set.

So I’m thinking Alice, who was dead tired, after her night of singing the blues in a Jazz Club in New Orleans, slowly painted on her bright red lipstick before leaving the club and boarding this bright red trolley, to trudge back to her family, who needed every nickel and dime just to eat.

Color Your World: 120 Days of Crayola; Razzle Dazzle Rose

Razzle Dazzle de Rose

For my photo choice I’ve given Razzle Dazzle more flair by giving the roses a french touch, naming it Razzle Dazzle de Rose. These were more of the beautiful flowers seen on my English Garden Tour, 2015. Did I tell you I received the book, Gardens to Visit 2016, from the National Garden Scheme? I am in the throws of planning my visit this summer to gardens in Cornwall, Devon, Sussex and Kent, oh my!

Razzle Dazzle Rose is the fluorescent color originally known as Hot Magenta from 1972 to 1990. In the “Discovery Series” it was known as Blast Off.

Color Your World: 120 Days of Crayola; Raw Sienna

Our Daily Bread

Raw Sienna is a yellowy-brown color. So I thought I’d share with you how I like to bake bread! Any bread! Lately my favorite is Golden Grains Bread, a bread Recipe from King Arthur Flour. But, this week there was also, Irish Soda Bread and Irish Soda Bread Muffins, also from King Arthur Flour. There is nothing better than the smell of baking bread. There is nothing better to eat, than fresh bread from the oven. Give us this day our daily bread! Amen.

I wrote a previous post all about King Arthur Flour in Norwich, Vermont. I love their products so much I had to make a visit to them! What a great Bakery facility they have there!

Raw Sienna was part of the Crayola Collection from 1903 until 1910. It was re-introduced in 1958. In the “State Crayon Collection,” it is known as Nutmeg and is the color for Connecticut.

In Europe Crayola calls Purple Pizzazz, Powerful Purple. In the US Purple Pizzazz is a fluorescent color which was introduced to the line in 1990.

In the cottage gardens of the UK you will find some Powerful Purples clustered together to make a beautiful Purple Pizzazz spot in the garden!

Color Your World: 120 Days of Crayola; Purple Mountain Majesty

Purple Mountain Majesty

Closer Look at Purple Mountain Majesty

Ready, Get Set!

Some of us like to look at Purple Mountain Majesty from afar and some of us are never settled until they can get a good close up, personal look see! Such is the case when SB and I were in Chamonix, France, a resort area near the junction of France, Switzerland, and Italy. I was content to stay in the chalet cottage and indulge in the spa treatments and look at the mountain, while SB was twitching to get up on Mont Blanc. Then he decided he would also paraglide down, just for fun.

“Did I want to go up?” he asked.

“No, I will watch you from right here, at the chalet,” my reply. “I’ll watch for you and take pictures.”

Jump!!!

Moral to the story: Some People Fly High and Some People are Fully Rooted to the Ground and

My Spot!

OPPOSITES ATTRACT!

Purple Mountain Majesty, also spelled Purple Mountains’ Majesty and Purple Mountain’s Majesty has been in the Crayola Collection since 1993. It is also known as Pencilvania Purple in the special “Colors of Binney & Smith.

Color Your World: 120 Days of Color; Plum

A Plum Tree

Last week on Friday, for the IPhone Priday Photo Challenge, I posted a picture of my Plum tree. Some people do not have a Plum tree, but they would like one! I found this Plum Tree in New Orleans! Or maybe it is a Plum Flower? In New Orleans they like to make everything special, don’t you think?

Plum, is an oldie in the Crayola Collection. It was introduced in 1958.

Color Your World: 120 Days of Crayola; Pink Sherbet

My Pink Sherbet Shoes!

These are my Pink Sherbet Shoes! I bought them in Orvieto, Italy, because I liked their snazzy color with the light pink suede toe ! I like happy feet! My mother always said I was easy to buy shoes for. Just pick the ugliest shoes in the store and those would be the ones I wanted! I can’t help it that I like unusual shoes!

Crayola changed the name Brink Pink to Pink Sherbet in 2005. I am glad because I didn’t know what color a Brink Pink was. Looking it up, I see it is the color between rose and magenta, formulated by Crayola in 1998. Then I looked at the word sherbet. I always pronounced the word sherbert. Had I been pronouncing the word incorrectly all these years? No. It seems sherbet and sherbert are interchangeable too! So there we have it!
