Pink














As Diana Vreeland once said - "I adore pink. It's the navy blue of India."

I am in agreement. It's a staple. I never tire of it. I can't live without it.

    hi anna,

    i have to tell you that i've never been a big fan of pink until i met you and your blog. your presentation of pink is something from another world. it's other-worldly! you have opened my eyes to color combos i've never liked, but now do. good job.

    Oh, I used to have a mini moke! We bought it in Australia, shipped it to England and I used to drive it around London with the children strapped in the back with rugs and hot-water bottles! I painted it deep lipstick red...

    How about that Mini-Moke!
    Living by the beach I think that I should probably trade in the 'sensible' VW Golf and zip around in a little hot pink number like this!

    I love pink too. It's the International Colour of Comfort and Soothingness. Plus it's intensely flattery as one's face collapses from age and wrinkles. Loving this rain Anna, how is your garden?

    I heart pink! You inspired me to paint my bedroom walls a pale blush pink. It is cozy and gorgeous. It somehow still remains neutral, despite it's feminine quality.

    Thanks for your beautiful blog!
