Want Mustard with Your Coffee?

That does sound quite horrible, doesn't it?
Unless you're putting the mustard on your eggs with your morning coffee...

Actually, I am referring to the colors Mustard and Coffee. I absolutely adore a dark brown and my favorite color is yellow. Jewelry with both tones really appeal to me.

My daughter once said that brown is the color of "E". By that, she meant that it is plain, unassuming, sort of blends into the background, perhaps over-used... like the letter "E" (so plain it is often silent!). Take a look at  Coffee Beans Ahhhh.. though. It is vibrant and rich like warm chocolate cake and strong coffee!

This mug cozy looks good enough to eat!
Yummmy Goodness!!


This steamy collection was created by another etsy shop (galla15) who makes really beautiful jewelry!
Handcrafted Czech Glass Button rings, and Swarovski rings! Handmade, wire wrapped Button rings, Pearl and Crystal earrings, necklaces and more unique jewelry. She can also use sterling silver, or gold filled, or pure gold upon request for an additional fee.

Yellow coordinates with everything and makes us happier. It is scientifically proven to improve mood! You need more yellow in your life! Here are some amazing little treasures found by Tyss Handmade Jewelry; her style has a simple elegance.

This is not caramel popcorn...

 
and this is not a sweet powder to add to your cocoa!

    LOL... coffee and mustard are two flavours I love but... not together. The colors on the other hand are divine.

    This is interesting, I usually dismiss brown - but you are right, when you put it with certain colors it is amazing!

    I am so looking forward to the snow melting and the rich brown earth reemerging. Brown to me means rich soil and growth.

    Browns and golds beautiful. Champagne diamond set in a 18 carat gold band! Where is my sugar daddy. Great way of relating color to everyday items.

    Who says that brown is a 'mousy' color? Not when mixed with the right accent color ...
