furniture and home decor (yes, I've been browsing
through ebay again.. and I've found out, that at least
this seller do care about her photos - a pleasure to
look at, aren't they? I felt like I was at 'home' ^_^).
About why I'm so into vintage lately (up till now they
made me feeling sad looking at them - not a feeling I'd
prefer), why I'm attracted to the 60s-80s style lately
(aside of all the influence from the vintage items on
Etsy and those trends in the home & decor blogs). I
then noticed the yellow canister underneath the seat
next to the door. The color made me happy. It awakes
the vintage feeling to me. I wondered why (I know,
I'm questioning too much lately ;)).
I remember, that yellow was my favorite color as I was
in elementary school. It was a certain yellow. Sunny
yellow (it's what I associate the color with. Which one**
do you think is it on the picture above?). Not too red,
not too green. Not too cold, not too warm. Simply a
happy-making yellow :)
I also remember the yellow runner on my parent's bed
in the new house. I think, it had a slight touch into
mustard, but could be, it was only my slant memories ;)
My sister, my brother and I often played nine men's
morris and other board games on it. Or we just sat down
there and watch tv. What a cozy feeling (even if it was
actually made of synthetic material, so I didn't like to
touch it - it made me sweat -, but it was so cool to have
a piece of carpet in hot Jakarta *lol*).
Back to now, I'm still in love with yellow, even if it's not
the color I'd wear. Duh, I just remember, a bright yellow
tee was the first cloth piece I've bought in Germany and
everybody was feeling shone by me *lol* I also had a
bright yellow umbrella keeping me accompany till it was
broken (even then, I couldn't throw it away immediately
after those 7 years together.. how sentimental!). I guess,
yellow is always a part of me, like the sun shining in my
heart (I only need to recall it especially in 'cloudy' days,
right? :)).
Some more yellow things, that makes me feel happy:
sun (of course :)), mango, lemon, banana, dandelion,
brass, gold, canary, chick, raincoat (or any other coat,
like a choir friend wore on Monday :)), mailbox, that
logo with the two golden arches ;) (it's often a place,
where we went to eat, if we were somewhere we didn't
know well and I have to say honestly, that I sometimes
need junkfood *trying to look innocent*),...
You can see some of the yellow things I've noticed today
here (oops!! it's already so late - so, I mean yesterday)
and some more on the other side.
**) I feel like I wanna play (must be the side effect of
this afternoon, where I went to the Math exhibit with
my son's class ;)). I'll send the first two of you, who left
a note on the Flickr side at the right color patch, a
surprise each :) So, please click on the first picture and
leave a note there, if you wanna play.
