A taste for turquoise

Christmas is upon us soon,

and it is time to make a reality,

of what I have had floating

around inside my head

for some time now.

This Christmas

my home decorating

is going to be a bit more modest.

I have gone with Anita's favourite colour.

Turquoise.

(For those of you who are not familiar with the beautiful Anita, do yourself a favour and check out her gorgeous blog called 'Castles Crowns and Cottages')

Yes Anita is quite smitten with this amazing colour...so much so, that I think some of her enthusiasm has rubbed off on me.

Turquoise...the colour reminds me of a wonderful holiday we enjoyed a couple of decades ago (was it really THAT long ago?)

We stayed on a boat, at sea on the Great Barrier Reef for about five weeks. It was the BEST holiday ever!

My favourite memory was of a magical little island of sand called Davy Cay.

The water was crystal clear

and the most magnificent turquoise

I have ever seen. 

So with thoughts of this most magical place...I am about to decorate my foyer...in the cool colours of white and turquoise.
