My Favorite Greens, Wrap Up

With 13 installations of 'My Favorite Greens', I've decided it is time to wrap things up. I've really enjoyed this quarter-of-a-year spent thinking about and photographing some of my favorite possessions. While some of them were inexpensive and others priceless, the most important thing is that I love them all.

What I take away from this project is a reminder to love the things I have and to only buy things that I love. And to remember that usually, the things we love the most are the ones made with care and by hand. It's a good lesson to carry with me into the holidays and something to think about in the new year and I hope it is something that you will consider in the new year as well.

Handwoven wool blanket that my mother made for me. While not technically a green item (it is yellow with a few green accents), it is truly one of my favorite things.

My Favorite Greens #12

My absolute favorite teapot, a 16 oz. Beehouse, surrounded by all of the tea supplies I keep at work.

Romanesco from the farmer's market. The beauty of fractals and the taste of cauliflower--Yum!

My Favorite Greens #10

My $5 green dress from Art Gecko.

My collection of green sweaters. Some store-bought, some handmade (three of which I blogged about here, here, and here).

My Favorite Greens #8

Oolong Tea from Lupicia, my favorite tea purveyor.

Tiny clay teapot for oolong tea. Purchased from Lupicia.

Turquoise pendant I made in 1999. My sister picked out the stone and I did the setting.

My Favorite Greens #3

These Are A Few Of My Favorite Greens

In addition to your normal knitting content, I've decided to start a little photography project on my blog. Partly because I'm trying to improve my photography skills and partly to focus on the things I have instead of the things I think I need.

The idea behind 'My Favorite Greens' is to photograph things I own that I truly love. Since most of these items are in my favorite color, green, I decided to use this color as my theme. So for the next few months, look for a mid-week photo and description of one of my favorite greens.
