Go Green in Your Clothing Closet!

Continuing from yesterday's post on the symbolism and effects of wearing certain colors today I am going to discuss the color of green.

Wearing green helps to activate growth, balance and harmony in your life. It's a color of happy, healthy relationships. The heart chakra contains the color of green which deals with the higher consciousness and love.

If you are feeling out of balance or the need for a change toss a little green into your life. Especially wear this color on a day when you need the courage and freedom to pursue new ideas or trying out a new activity.

I am personally drawn to the color of green in my clothing choices and was happy to find out that another ability it has is the protection from fears and anxieties connected with the demands of others. Being a mother and a Pisces to boot, I definitely need help in that category! I think this weekend it might be time to go shop and add some more green wardrobe choices.

Right now in my eBay store I have some great options to add a bit of green to your clothing collection. So please stop by and browse.

Wear the Color of Blue to Add Peace, Stability & Calm to Your Life

Based on the book by Louise Hay, Color and Numbers that I read at the end of the year 2010; I decided to breakdown the clothes that I sell on eBay by colors. That way you can find clothes by the color that you might want or need to add to your wardrobe. Every color that we wear is symbolic and adds attributes or influences to better help us in our daily interactions.

I found a wonderful website today which details out what wearing the color of blue can do for us.

www.crystal-cure.com

"The color of blue symbolizes youth, spirituality, truth and peace.
Wearing dark hues of blue gives you a stable, calm, conservative feeling. All shades of blue will help to make easy communication, whether it is with yourself or others. Blue is the color associated with the throat chakra, which deals with communication of how we feel and what we think."

Right now in my eBay store I have some great options to add a splash of blue to your clothing collection. So please stop by and browse.

George & Lupeta Leekity Biography

Lupeta Leekity was born in 1942 and currently lives with her husband George in Zuni, New Mexico. She married George Leekity in 1970 and they work together making sandcast silver jewelry.

Lupeta is the daughter of Horace Iule who was well known for his exceptional silver sandcast jewelry designs with a specialty in handmade crosses. Both her and George learned the craft from her father and still use his designs casting new pieces from his originals. In order to differentiate from their own desgins they use the stamp "lule" on them.

George also does his own one of a kind designs and uses the stamp "G&L Leekity". Most of the crosses are made by Lupeta after the tradition of her father. Lupeta began creating jewelry in 1972 and both her and her husband started using the "G&L Leekity" hallmark in 1977.

Lupeta's daughter (Rosella) and her two brothers (Barney & Philip) also continue to create and design outstanding castwork jewelry.
