Inspiration Monday!

Talk about inspiration.  Wait till you see this *little piece of heaven* that our friend Kristen brought in as her color swatch for this weekend's consult!  First we must set the stage with our own swatches {which usually are lovely and pleasing to the eye, especially when the color combo is as elegant and classic as the colors Kristen selected}.  So we pulled out a few samples of garnet, ivory, and charcoal from which she could choose.

 

We chatted about the correct color of charcoal and ivory, ate a few cookies, and then we asked about the garnet.  After waxing eloquent about how a true garnet color has an amber undertone, and that I know that because it's my birthstone {Tammi}, Kristen brought out HER swatch, the highlight of our day...
*angels sing, the heavens open*... ta-da!!!

IS THAT THE MOST BEAUTIFUL COLOR SWATCH YOU'VE EVER SEEN?!?!?!  It's just a crying shame that these little *princesses* are going to be hidden underneath layers of fabric.  We wish we were better photographers.  This photo doesn't do it justice.  You should see the heel.  Actually, here it is off the web.

Maybe 6 inches high?  Absolutely gor-geous!  I'll tell you what.  We were INSPIRED!  If that doesn't do it for you, nothing will.
Happy Monday.
