meg and i had a huge, fun, green-tinted weekend: a trip to atlanta to visit dearest friends and see “wicked” with them one more time.  (by also taking in “high school musical 3″ (so fun, and a much better film than the slightly snarky review in the new yorker  would have you believe!) and making a trip to the american girl doll boutique, i believe that we acheived the tween pop-culture trifecta.)  as gifts for our hostesses, meg stenciled halloween t-shirts that we’d dyed green (with a mix of rit dye’s kelly green and yellow)(and yes, we’re still cleaning up the laundry room) with designs from stencil 1. 

in honor of the amazingly talented carmen cusack (above, right), whom we saw as ”elphaba” (the girl with magic, passion, and green skin) here are some greens i feel passionate about: benjamin moore’s grasslands #502, annapolis green #687 (both pictured below, chez  jones) and georgian green # hc-115, sherwin williams’s tansy green #6424, and pratt & lambert’s clover #22.20 (shown a few posts below on a table) and nurturing #18.5.

#502 and #687.  told you i loved them.

and here is tansy green, on bookshelves for a client:
