Monday Musings - Yearning for Yellow

Thank-you for all your good wishes for our trip at the end of the year. Heather from the wonderful blog 'Lost in Arles' gave me some fabulous ideas of things to do in New York. A reader called Anna from Orlando said she would be happy to provide me with some suggestions when we visit the area. Anna, if you read this, I would love some suggestions. (I couldn't find an email address to reply directly to you.) If there are any readers who can give me some suggestions of things to do in London over Christmas (with a husband and 4 sons in tow), I would love to hear from you too. Isn't the blogging world just fantastic!



Moving on to today's post...Spring was supposed to have arrived weeks ago. We are still waiting! We have had visitors from New Zealand who arrived with only summer clothes because they were coming to Africa and it is supposed to be hot! They have had to go shopping for jerseys and jeans!



I read somewhere that yellow is the colour that symbolises optimism and happiness. It is also the colour of sunshine so perhaps a post on yellow will encourage the universe to send some Spring weather our way! I sure hope so, and my visitors from New Zealand hope so too!














































































So Spring, if you're listening, please come to Cape Town! We are more than ready for you.

Till next time

  2. Sharon - December in NYC and London? How wonderful!! I know NYC will be beautifully decorated for the holidays. If you have time, visit Bergdorf Goodman just to see the wonderful displays. The big stores have fabulous sales as it gets closer to the holidays. And I love Radio City's Christmas Spectacular. A Christmas classic for the entire family.

  3. Sharon, these are some of the prettiest pictures I've seen in a very long time! I will be pinning these for sure! I can't imagine Spring not being there yet as it is still hot here and we are wishing for fall! Isn't that amazing? I'm so glad you've had such great advice from fellow bloggers! It really is wonderful to have such great blogging friends!

  4. Sharon you've shown some stunning pictures! I hope the yellow works for you and you and your guests are soon warmed by the sun! We're in fall now and I'm already cold so maybe we could share that sun.

    Enjoy your week!

  8. Yay for yellow! Yellow always makes me smile. I put a yellow damask paper in my office and I love it! I keep forgetting that we are opposite to you in seasons, I am sitting in front of a fire, and you are waiting for the heat of summer! Thanks for the sunshine:)

  18. I'm so glad I saw this post! I have been considering removing some splashes of yellow from one of my rooms and have now definitively decided against it. Who knew yellow could be so gorgeous!

  19. Olá, Sharon!
    Encontrei teu blog através do "Minha vida de campo" e confesso que adorei as imagens, amarelo para mim é vida, calor e alegria.
    Por aqui, sul do Brasil, também é início de primavera e hoje faz muito calor, logo mais teremos chuva.
    Bjos.
