I love to shop. Browsing through stores gazing at smartly displayed merchandise sparks my creativity. I don't always have to bring something home to take away from the experience. In my case, retail does provide some cheap therapy. I love to get lost in a store, especially antique and vintage shops, and hold pretty trinkets, as I fantasize about the life they once led. It seems like lately I've been drawn to specific colors, like pretty pink Pyrex bowls and anything turquoise.
I am also addicted to Pinterest (for many of the same reasons as shopping, I must need a lot of therapy) and I have noticed all the crafts involving paint chips. It seems like I'm not the only one having a love affair with color. Whether it's calm and relaxing greens, or spicy tangerines, we are aware of the mood-altering effects of color and like to surround ourselves with hues that don't give us the blues (corny, but true).
So, I thought it might be fun to play a game. "Fun and Games" is our theme for the month of September here at Grassy Valley Antiques so it is fitting don't you think? Here's how you play, take a paint chip like this one here and find items in our shop that match the colors on your chip. If you can find four items, one for each of the corresponding colors on your chip, then you get one item of your choice for 15% off!
For example, if I selected this particular set of colors, I might pick the following rosy items....
Color 1...Love the blush on these depression glass candlesticks.
It's as simple as that. Your items don't have to be exact matches. We're not Pantone, just an antique store trying to have a little fun.
