Mourning

January 15, 2010 by Mary Jane 6 Comments

Discontinued colors. All of them, including some dear old friends. I weep.

Jamieson & Smith have reduced their range to 80 colors…you’d think that would be enough. Spoiled. I was spoiled!

You know what they say, “keep calm and cast on”.

Update: as Anne mentioned in the comments Jamieson’s still has close to 200 colors, so between the 2 of them we should all be ok.

The real mourning is for the people of Haiti- Doctors Without Borders, you can specify Haiti for your donation.

    Great photo and good sense of humor. I’m going to buckle on of these days and get one of those Keep Calm and Carry On posters.

    I will sadly miss many of my “go to” colors which seem to be the ones that are always being discontinued. Those bright greens and blues being gone and I’m sure to never return. I will covet what I have left and use it sparingly.
