House Beautiful Contest (for Blogfest 2012) : My 'A-Ha' Moment
It came when it was least expected - isn't that always the way?
I was called to meet with a perspective Client, whom I didn't know - or even know where she got my name from.

The word Amethyst comes from the Greek word "amethystos" which means "sober".
The ancient Greeks believed that the stone held many powers, including protection from intoxication.
This association with the god of wine explains the ancient custom of serving the beverage
in Amethyst goblets. The colored glass was believed to prevent overindulgence.
In clothing, ancient Royalty throughout the ages were attracted to this hue because that color dye was rare.
Clothing in the purple family, looked regal + expensive. Still does.
Countless times this holiday season I have seen stunning displays of colour, in unexpected places. Pretty hues lift my spirits + are confident statements of design.

Technically a "tartan pattern" is made up of perfect squares, so it can be turned 180 degrees or upside-down + look exactly the same. A plaid, on the other hand, can have stripes that clearly run in a specific direction.
