tuesday giveaway: dear colleen tote and rosette

Dear Colleen Giveaway!

Pretty in pink...

"Here's a fun fact, did you know that traditionally in western culture that pink was the colour for boys and blue was for girls? Really someone told me on telly so it must be true. Pink was considered related to red so more masculine and strong, while blue was though more appropriate for girls because it's delicate and dainty, or related to the Virgin Mary. It wasn't until around the 1940s that the colours were switched. It's funny that something we understand as fact, is actually relatively new and no where near as traditional as we think. 

Anyway you're maybe wondering why I'm muttering on about pink, let me explain I'm Colleen and I run a little etsy shop called Dear Colleen and when Stacie asked me to do a little give-away on her blog I though a pinked themed parcel would be fun... there is a good chance that you're reading this in the States where I'm sure your mind is turning to autumn with all it'll beautiful rich hues. Well I'm based in New Zealand and we're just breaking into joyous bright spring and for me spring is a pink time of year, baby bunnies, blossom, happy, pink. 

Up for grabs in today's give-away is a pink 'skills to pay the bills' tote bag, a limited edition two tone pink 'LOSER' rosette and a navy and blue little button pin, which says 'Hello Sailor'. I hope there is at least one pink item here that would brighten up your day."

fall

Fall leaves. Feeling them crunch under my boots. Raking them into a pile and then let Violet jump into them. The colors, gold, burnt sienna, scarlet. Soon, the cool breeze that is lingering in the air will usher in the faint, sleepy emotions that often accompany this time of year.

Perfect.
