Want to helps us out in naming the new Poste Yarn colors? These Valentine-inspired colors all need names, and my mind must be on a Monday morning break 'cuz I got nuthin'. What do you think? Keep in mind that Poste Yarn colors are given names that reference destinations, as in Garden District, Broad Ripple, Chicagoland.
I would love to read what you think of when you see these colors, which will be available in the next day or so. Please inspire me and I may choose your idea.
"Valentine 1" colors: Espresso, Deep Rose, Peach
"Valentine 2" colors: Black, Silver, Red Violet
"Valentine 3" colors: Pink, Red
Valentine 2 = Heartbreak Hotel
Which may not be a 'real' location, but most everyone has been there

Not sure about #2 and #3, but #1 should be "Peachtree Rd". It just looks like Atlanta in the spring to me.
Posted by: Holly Waldrop | January 15, 2013 at 09:05 AM
#3 to me screams Honeymoon Suite, in one of those old clichéd rooms in an old clichéd hotel in Niagara Falls. (I'd leave Love Canal off the list, unless you're referring to toxic waste!)

I see that yesterday Dianne had the same idea I did on #3 - CANDYLAND. It was the first thing that popped into my head.
Posted by: Jaimie Mehrbrodt | January 15, 2013 at 12:05 PM
I like either Heartbreak Hotel for #2 as with the black and gray it carries the feel of the darker sides of love, the storms, the breakups, the heartbreaks, the shadowlands...or Paris because of the sophistication and fashion of the black as in little black dress or black tie date nights in a town of fashion and romance. I vote with the "Candylanders" on #3! And how can you not name one Valentine, Indiana?! :-)
