About Blue and Green Together

Several years ago I was at The Galleria in Dallas, Texas.  Browsing on the 3rd floor,  I happened across Tiffany & Co.  Tentatively I walked into the store, a farmer’s daughter from the mid-west, feeling like the “bull in a china shop”.  (Was I allowed in here?) The display cases  were crystal clear.  Soon I was drawn to the semi precious stones.  And there it was.  The perfect ring.  It was a breath-taking set of sapphire and emerald marquises set in a simple, elegant gold filigree.  The combination of colors was stunning, an exquisite match and perfectly set.  Before that day, if you would have asked me my favorite color I might have replied “sky blue or maybe yellow”.  But that all changed, when I saw that ring.  From then on, it has always been “blue and green together”.

  4. Hi Karen – I came across your blog while searching for information on the John Balyo case. Thank you for sharing your thoughts on this tragedy.

  5. I love that you have two favorite colors together! I am terrible at picking a favorite. 🙂 Too many good ones! Kind of like picking a favorite Bible verse. That one is also too hard. Thanks so much for stopping by my place. Blessings to you!

  6. Hi, Karen! It’s nice to meet you here; I’m visiting from The Loft. I love your story & description of Tiffany’s. Breakfast at Tiffany’s is one of my favorite movies {even though it does not really represent the story by Truman Capote accurately}. Audrey Hepburn was lovely to watch as she floated through each scene. Looking forward to getting to know you in The Loft.

I switch between the two, though, depending on my mood 🙂 I’m so glad to meet you here and pray the Lord takes your story, your words, and weaves them into beauty. May your writing corner be a place of grace!

  10. Wow! I’m so intrigued by the “blue and green together” – I love that! My favorite color is green, but I have seasonal favorites as well. There’s something about just the right color combination at just the right time, isn’t there? I often wonder if that’s what others “see” when Jesus crosses our paths with a non-believer…just the right “color” at just the right time. This is a great post! Can’t wait to come back and read more! Thanks for linking up at The Loft!
