Love this! I got a kick out of your ‘honorable mentions’ category 😂

Guess what I’m reading? “The Secret Lives of Color” by Kassia St. Clair.

Aw, thank you, I'm so glad!

Ooh, I just looked that title up and have now added yet another book to my ever-growing TBR, so thank you so much! I love finding new books! :)

I was also obsessed with crayon colors (and birthstones!) as a kid, so this feels like it was written for me. I’m especially going to make use of the word “prasine”- we use a lot of leeks in this household 😂

Yay, a fellow crayon-and-birthstone-lover! 😀 (Literally, if there is anything remotely resembling a rainbow of pretty colors, I'm interested 😅)

Yesss, leeks are one of my favorite vegetables (that I currently have in the kitchen too, funnily enough), so I'm sure to be getting use out of that one as well. This is a leek-friendly newsletter :)

Yay, thank you so much! 😄 YES, that big box of crayons was the best! (And with the built-in crayon sharper? Yesss.) Ooh, I just gave their site a look and they have some lovely colors/names of colors there. Greige is right on the home page when I go to their site, so that's really fortuitous! Also, you may have just unleashed a monster in the form of a nerd, because no, I hadn't taken a dive into the Pantone season colors, or even this year's color, yet 😅 Oh no, I may need to write more about colors!
