PALE GREEN with ENVY ..........

WHAT COLOUR IS ENVY ?
I think that we would all say green, wouldn't we. Well I'm definitely pale green with envy over some of these images !!!!I just love Gustavian clocks. I haven't got one YET, but if I am lucky enough to get one, one day, I think that I would love one in this beautiful soft eau-de-nil colour.
I love this distressed door, and I actually do have this grey, metal, heart-shaped wreath.Think that I'd rather have the Gustavian clock !!!!

This is one of my favourite Michael Eastman photographs. A faded beauty of a sofa.


What a wonderful distressed bench. I think that you all now know that I really love distressed furniture !!!!



I think that this is such a pale green that it's nearly grey. Isn't it beautiful ? I'd love to own it but I don't think that there is anywhere that I would be invited to that would warrant a dress like this...... aawwwhh ...... get the violins out !!!!




The beautiful hydrangea.


A pale green bedroom, livened up by the gorgeous black and white quilt.

Oh, while we are looking at these lovely pale green images, have a Margarita. This first batch that I've made is for Lori over at Wildflowers !!!!...........

............ just a gratuitous photograph of Venice....you know how much I love it.

Isn't this a lovely dresser ? Very English farmhouse.


More pale green hydrangeas .......... one of my favourite flowers, especially when they are this colour.


A wonderful pale green tureen, a distressed chair and a lovely fabric ....... gorgeous...........


................... and lastly, a country kitchen with a green table........ I'm definitely a little bit. just a little bit,
PALE GREEN with ENVY !!!!

  3. Beautiful photos Jackie. Who says you need to wait for an invitation to warrant a dress like that? Life's too short!

    Distressed furniture is my favourite also {probably because it ends up that way anyway in my chaotic house}. Hope you have a great weekend. Meredith xo.

  4. This is one of my very favorite colors, Jackie, and you've captured it so beautifully in this post! That farm table in the last shot--I think I need it. Oh, and I love that Michael Eastman photo, too--so evocative.

    Thanks for your lovely comments this week, my friend! xoxo Gigi

  6. I love green painted furniture. We painted our kitchen table green, but it's all wrong - too bright and clean. I want to make it more like the table in the last photo.

  12. Hi Jackie,
    I love green too! Blues and greens and grays together! I think my favorite photo is that dress....perfect gray green. I grew up in a home that my Mom had decorated with celery green in the living room, dining room areas....it was very calm and soothing. Thanks for sharing such beautiful images with us!
    Hope you have a great weekend!
    Take care, Laura

  16. My favourite colour!
    There are 53 hydrangea bushes surrounding my cottage. We have loads of blue, pink and white all summer....and loads of green in autumn. I fill the vases in the house and they last beautifully!! Love green.

  18. That's a lovely pale green ensemble of images, Jacqueline, and getting lovelier with every sip I take of the Margarita. I wish I had the green dresser for my office; it's so charming and unassuming. Here's to your discerning eye.

  21. Dear gorgeous Jackie (I have to call you Jacquie instead),

    I am bookmarking. The clock is so nautical and appeals to my unpretentious classic tastes. Next has to be the beautiful distressed green bench, just lovely. Green is one of my favourite colours and I am pleased to see it turn up here. Peace, X.

    P.S. One day we'll do tea at the Savoy.

  22. How did you know that my favorite color is green and I have been lusting after one of those Swedish clocks for a few years now... beautiful photos as always!

    Have a fabulous weekend!

  23. Dear Jacqueline
    Well I'm sure you know Green is my favourite [along with blue of course]

    The distressed furniture would be my favourites ... bench and dining table.. both have that wondrous green that goes so well on timber. And I hardly need tell you that Venice can be in every post if you like [you may be the only person as addicted to Venice as I am]

    Seeing all I do lately is work, I'll skip on the dress this time.. don't think that is going to work with me waving my arms around at fellow workers.

    The clock, kitchen and hydrangeas are quite lovely too...a wonderfully relaxing 'green' post... just what I need this morning! As always you have searched out the best for us.. and I say THANK YOU... hehehe

    Ciao Ciao xx Julie

  34. for a long time I didn't liked green but it is slowely coming back in little things like bottles ans stuff.... Those clocks are for sale in an antique shop here. I think you don't wanna know the price of it haha

  35. I love the pale green you have here, also lime green, bright green, forest green, emerald green, sage green, cerulean etc. Did you know the human eye in darkness is most sensitive at 502 nanometres which is a bluey green colour and I think that partly explains why we feel so connected with this colour. Happy Sunday to you xoxo

  40. Jacqueline, I am visiting your blog today, because lovely Di with DesignersBlock said that I had to. And I am so glad that I did! I am a Swede in Seattle who also is dreaming about her old Swedish floor clock! The images you chose are wonderful. And you are funny too!
