Flower Girl Pink – Color A Day #38

I am now in possession of a stash of old family photos. What a treasure trove. Today’s color comes straight from this photo archive. I was a flower girl at a cousin’s wedding when I was almost 4. Ask any little girl: it’s a big deal to be a flower girl. And, it was a big deal to me, although I don’t remember many details, and frankly, it was a very, very long time ago. But, I do remember having a basket of rose petals that I dropped up the aisle, and, of course I remember how much I LOVED my pink dress. The pink was the perfect shade – not too bright, not too pale – a soft, slightly dusty pink. This old picture of me at the wedding reception captures the essence of that moment…a little girl lost in the moment on a momentous day. And, there is the dress, just as I remember it – Flower Girl Pink.

Color A Day #10 - Vintage Pink

Oh, how I love vintage....antiques, old photos, aged ephemera. There's a pink that pops up often in these old treasures. It's a dusty, mellow, muted color. It's homey, and I can almost smell my great-grandmother's floral perfume when I see it. The color today is...Vintage Pink.
