The houses on the Greek Isles tend to be whitewashed – a kind of insurance against the oppressive Mediterranean heat. But some of these white houses have doors painted in brilliant blue – an emotional homage to the beauty of the surrounding sea & sky. I’ve seen these colors frequently translated into intricately designed sweaters & textiles offered to the (more fortunate & discerning) tourist. I realize that your pretty socks are more Norwegian than Greek in design, but they’re giving me major nostalgia for the ‘old country’! Beautiful!

Oh Blue. Wonderful!
Ravenhill says
Oh, those blues are divine… You have really captured it delightfully.
