Fantastic Five: Rhymes With Orange

Orange is mostly thought of as a Halloween color, an autumn tone or a food shade but more and more people are starting to enjoy it as an all year round hue with varied applications.

Whether on clothing, jewelry or as a home accent color, orange makes you smile and can add that “pop” to a room or an outfit. Check out Zibbet for over 200 pages of orange goodness. Along with the choices here are orange soaps, lip balms, yarn, candles, hats and much more.

“Orange” you glad I chose this? (Sorry, I couldn’t resist!) And in English, nothing rhymes with orange!

1. Orange jade and brown jasper dangle earrings by XiaoLinaJewelry $12.99: Orange jade? Who knew! But XiaoLinajewelry did and used these gemstone beads in an elegant pair of dangle earrings. Whatever the color, jade is believed to bring luck to the wearer, as well as protection.  The jasper beads at the end also have a touch of orange. What a great pair of earrings to complete an outfit!

2. Orange Kimono Style Jacket - Size S, M, L by Clarify $65: The kimono style jacket is not just for serving tea. This wonderful creation  has  three soft  rayon prints. As Clarify says “The bright and cheery orange with white florals and orange with white polka dots is perfect for that “Spring is Here” feeling.” This will be a joy to wear and spring is around the corner.

3. Happy birthday robe card by ScrapAHolicMom $3.50:  Finding cards for the men in our lives is sometimes a challenge. Here’s a classic beauty by ScrapAHolicMom.  It is a shaped card with solid and striped orange paper that will surely grab that guy’s attention. You can write your own message on the blank interior. He will appreciate the masculine style.

4. Pink and orange striped, hand-dyed, Silk Scarf by makeanimpression $20: Wearing art is a win-win situation and this chiffon, hand hemmed, silk scarf is stunning. It was  hand dyed using fiber reactive dyes and no chemicals in processing. MakeAnImpression tells us to “add a splash of color to your wardrobe with this versatile accessory! Wear it around your waist as a sash or try the more traditional method around your neck with either a scarf pin or tied one of many ways.” She’s right!

5. African Queen Quilt , Art Quilt, Grid Quilt by artsfordesire $1035: The mother and daughter team behind ArtsFordesire have executed a masterpiece here. This is titled “African Bee Quilt” and is an original design and certainly an art piece for your home. Whether hung on a wall or spread upon your bed, this quilt will easily become a family heirloom from day one. This will bring joy from their home to yours.
