*By Glenda Sage Santa Monica*

Thank you so much for running the announcement for the Green Living Workshops in Santa Monica last week. I just about lost my marbles in a stew of parsnip punch I was so excited! How lovely to mingle with interior decorators who share my passion for the most peaceful color of them all.

But when I showed up, Lord Almighty, what did I see but a bunch of those environmental folks getting all riled up about something. I was a tad bit confused about why one of the ladies kept bringing up all these concerns about air quality during our discussion of green space. Perhaps she was referring to how the window treatment might billow a bit if we let too much of a breeze come in. Oh, those curtains looked so crisp along the celery accent wall next to those elegant sconces. Yes, I do understand that a bit of foliage could spice up a holiday wreath or garden bouquet lining a window sill quite nicely, but this lady was overly excited about plants.

At least the rest of the group was able to continue relatively undistracted with our series on how to decorate our homes with the latest shades of spring green. By the way, forest green is out, hunter green is in. So spread the word to all your readers! I saw some flatware in a lovely Kelley green — simply to die for!
