New on Pinterest: The Emerald City

As you may know, one of Seattle's nicknames is 'The Emerald City'. L. Frank Baum's Emerald City is literally made out of emeralds. While Seattle is not made of emeralds, it certainly is a very green place.

We've been pulling together some of our favorite emerald hues on our latest Pinterest board "The Emerald City". Check out these images:

2012: The Year of Tangerine Tango

Happy Tangerine Tango 2012!

Pantone has chosen Tangerine Tango as the color of the year for 2012.  On the Pantone website, "Tangerine Tango, a spirited reddish orange, continues to provide the energy boost we need to recharge and move forward."

Sounds like a good start for a new year, yes?

Tangerine Tango caught my attention because so many of the vintage coral colored supplies sold at Bumbershoot Supplies are pretty much tangerine tango by another name. 

Sometimes orange can be a bit of a challenge to execute in designs or in personal adornment, but these vintage shades are really accessible and may add just the touch to reenergize your designs and creative process as we enter a new year. 

You can learn more about Tangerine Tango on the Pantone website, try here and here.

You can search Bumbershoot Supplies using the term "coral" to see all of our vintage coral items.
