ALL THINGS TURQUOISE
Today I feel like indulging in TURQUOISE. Sometimes you just get that way...right girls?
What is "turquoise." OK, I looked it up - what can I say - I gotta Google!!!
So this is what I came up with according to Wikipedia:
Turquoise is a slightly greenish shade of cyan. The color is based on the gem turquoise. The term comes from the French for "Turkish."
The first recorded use of Turquoise as a color name in English was apparently in 1573!
Turquoise pairs extremely well with pink, red and white, don't you think?
I absolutely love this turquoise Letter Holder! That's my Shabby Chic lamp by Rachel Ashwell to the right...
An irridescent turquoise leaf plate, which serves as a great "catchall."
Detail of the turquoise basket weave handbag on the night stand to the right.
These are so funky that I love using these as a bedroom decorating item!
A gal's gotta have a great Travel Tote, this one is from Buxton and it's indispensible!
A baroque paterned vest in upholstery material is used for display and is layered with Victorian ephemera and rhinestone bracelets...
This chartreuse and turquoise satin top is the perfect backdrop for a multi-stranded turquoise choker I made recently.
This Venetian mirror with its pink blossoms, goes extremely well with the pink floral motif...
...as does this lotus plant placed in a turquoise glass vase, grouped with other turquoise items...

Hey, I have that same duvet and another one that looks just like it that I guess is from the same collection. Also, those shoes are works of art!
This duvet has become my favorite, Leslieanne. thanks for visiting...
