Thursday is Avocado?

I told my husband he could pick the fruit I base my blog post on today so he thought he would be a smart-ass and choose avocado. Well I may not have been able to find any avocado prints but the color is abundant and on some pretty spectacular pieces as I learned in my searches. I may have cheated a little bit today and also looked at olive..but they're close enough right ;) I'm sure you won't mind the extra lovelies to oogle over.

I can't picture a print of avacados being cute...at least not whole ones. ;) I love everything you picked out, especially the shoes at the bottom

i bet if you did it kind of kitschy with whole ones and halved ones it could turn out cute...in my mind its cute...LOL

Thanks for adding my skirt. I LOVE THAT SKIRT... but its SO tight on me, I cant wear it comfortably.

That green dress at the bottom, WOWZERS!

Yeah, I can see whole and halved avocados working. I think I was just picturing big weird black oval things all over a dress :)

Oh man...this post made me salivate a little! I love avocados (to eat), and I love the shade to wear. (And yep, when I see this certain shade I'm always torn between using avocado, moss, or olive to describe it.) You found some fantastic items! Thanks for including my dress.

Avocado is a lovely fruit and a lovely colour! Love the bakelite bangle and the pyrex. I'm a bit of a pyrex fan and have some gorgeous paler green 1930s pyrex casseroles.
