Emerald - the Color of the Year - How to use Etsy to create an Emerald room

Pantone comes out with their colors of the new year each year. For 2013 the color of the year is Emerald. Along with Emerald other colors that are going to be popular in both home and fashion are Jade, Dusk Blue, Lemon Zest and Nectarine to name a few. For the full list visit Pantone's website.

Today I wanted to put together some home accents found on Etsy to help you put together an Emerald room. Changing just your accents and accessories can make a world of change in your home.

The past couple of days I have been vigorously adding my craft shop items to my etsy shop. I am up to 33 items in my shop and have quite a few more to add. It is a slow process because I only have a couple of hours a day after I get home from work.

Today though, I was off and was able to post more. Here are their links:

Have a Nice Day!!!

I sold something!

I finally sold my Halloween Colors Accent Pillow! It was one of the first pillows I had ever made! The lucky new owner is a Halloween collector, which couldn't be a more perfect fit!

This pillow is a contemporary interpretation on Halloween and the colors! Crochet is art!
