I am really not a yellow person. Not that I have anything against yellow loving individuals however I have always held the belief that they would be just a little too sunshiny to endure any prolonged contact with. All that beaming around the place could become grating after a while. But, I fully admit that this is an uneducated opinion not knowing any yellow addicts myself (except for a boy i knew when I was a kid, and I did have to wear sunnies when I went in his room) so please if you consider yourself a lover of that colour and would like to become an advocate for the cause please post convincing comments below I always enjoy having my eyes opened.
In the end I do have a little of it lying around my own self.
My Tupperware measuring cups recently pulled out of the one cupboard we are yet to safety lock, hmmm next job me thinks. Also see how the slate doesn’t quite make it to the kitchen, can’t wait till that stuff is gone.
One section of the Letter Land Train, the phonics system we are using for home schooling.
Our nature table, mostly collected from Mum and Dad’s because they have the best Autumn trees.
You know the deal if you would like to play along and show the world your yellow then head over the Hello Owl’s blog and join the fun.
Our old place was painted yellow and blue. Not each room yellow and blue, but some rooms yellow and some rooms blue 😉 Oh, and a turquoise kitchen after many years of a yellow one.
Oh, I had thought we would make good friends, but I don’t know if it would work bc I am a yellow person. Sometimes its a mellow kind of yellow though – would that be ok?
I dig the yellow measuring cups. Tupperware were making them a mottled grey when I got mine. Blah. But they are the best cups.
Oh Tab don’t worry we can be friends. Maybe I was feeling particularly Blue before?? Besides I did say I was open to learn the beauty of the colour. Also I had a yellow curry tonight which was quite nice 🙂 I had to post and run before but now I’m off to read posts and learn to love yellow.
Oh and yes I love the cups they are very old I got them from a second hand store and I love them muchly even thought the dog chewed one.
Our tupperware/plastics cupboard is the only cupboard we don’t have child locks on also – I am forever finding things under our kitchen table!
I’m loving your nature table. Just posted a link to here from a blog post I did on collecting nature – hope you don’t mind!
No don’t mind at all I like sharing. Your Mum’s nature collection is great I love the lizard well worth a look

Love all the yellow….so fun and cheerful.
Oh, gosh I just LOVE teaching with Letterland! We have a CD of the songs too – kids are mesmerised by it! Wendy xx
Hey Wendy, Letterland is great isn’t it. It’s such a cute and simple to understand program, the kids have no problem differentiating between letter names and sounds and the stories that they use to explain all the blends and digraphs are so helpful. We have the CD’s too and the kids like listening to them in the car as well as teaching time.
I once renovated an outside laundry using a combination of white with yellow . It turned a dark and dingy ‘add-on’ into a fairly pleasant room to be in (well I could stand to stay in there long enough to get the washing done!) Also, sometimes when I have been quilting and wondering why the fabrics didn’t ‘sing’, a touch of yellow just fixes it .
I understand your aversion to yellow. I too was a victim of yellow overload, courtesy of my mother. When I moved out of home she repainted my purple room yellow. We are talking an almost fluorescent yellow! Plus that room was flooded with afternoon sunlight so you can imagine the glare!! Ah mum’s questionable decorating brings a smile to my face, or maybe she was right all along and it was the yellow that made me smile!
