Color Report: Regatta

Today in our color report we look at Regatta, one of Pantone's top 10 colors for Spring 2011. This bright blue, almost a capri blue, works in many applications from a tropical, Caribbean theme to a cool-as-ice palette. Our talented SATeam members have created many items in this color. Click on the links below the pictures to learn more about the item:

April Fool's Day Snow Storm is Sooo Not Funny!

As anyone in the Northeast can tell you, we have/had (since you're reading this on a Saturday) a real Nor'easter of a snow storm. And on April Fool's Day. So not funny. Really depressing. In fact it has me seeing red. The madder I got the topic for this post became obvious: red. Red anything as long as it's not snow white.
So, first off, here's an incredibly lovely shade of red, orange agate and sunstone, from 2 Belles and a Bead



Sparkly and warm earrings from Bead Origami



and from Shiny Adornments




More sparkly red from Bead Up a Storm



Not enough sparkles yet? How about this set of beads from N Valentine Studio



This piece reminds me of a warm log fire, from Jewelry Art by Dawn



That's it, I feel better now.
