About Home Accents: Celebrate!

I usually shop by colour, and need to know what's available out there today. Hopefully this pool will help :)

Certain days or events just cry out for matching home decor :) Home Accents: Celebrate! showcases seasonal accessories for birthdays, weddings, theme parties, special events and holidays, but is not meant to be a generic showcase of accessories, nor an online store.

Post accessories in the traditional colour combinations, shapes and symbols that mean so much on special days. The pictures could be of items you've made, recently purchased, received as a gift, something you've seen on the streets, or a vintage item that works with a current look.

Examples:
Valentine's: Items in pink AND red; red, hearts, lips, depictions of couples
Breast cancer awareness month: Items in pink
Birthdays: inspirational messages, names, initials, stars, cakes, candles
Chinese new year: Items in red AND gold, that have pictures of oranges or money
Chinese zodiac signs: items that carry pictures of the 12 animals that make up the zodiac.
St Patrick's Day: shamrocks, green items
Mother's Day: Matryoshkas, carnations
Fourth of July: Items in red, white AND blue, flags
Engagements & Weddings: white or clear accessories; things with mostly lace, things with mostly white pearls
Easter: Items in pastel rainbow colors (three or more), bunnies, eggs, daisies, tulips
Halloween: Items in orange AND black, skulls, pumpkins, bats, witches, owls
Day of the dead: skulls
Poppies Day: Poppies
Christmas: Items in red AND white or red, green AND white, holly, Christmas trees or ornaments, gingerbread men, snowflakes, snowmen, angels, candy canes etc

What's an accessory? Lamps, crockery, cushions, quilts, sculptures, artwork, soft toys: add them all! Furniture should be small and portable.
