Purple is my Mum's favourite colour (could have something to do with it's links to feminism, perhaps?). Whenever we were stumped for a gift for her we'd fall back on something purple (a brooch, a scarf, a bit of pottery) and it was always a winner (either that or she's a really great actor).
I kind of get why people would love purple, but personally I do not feel passionately either way about it. I do like seeing it in full bloom (hydrangeas anyone?), and it can look kind of nice on fingers and toes. But I don't have much of it in my house or my wardrobe or my kitchen cupboard. I was a bit surprised by how much stuff I had for this collection actually!

That's an eye-popping array of purpleness my friend.
ReplyDeleteAm off to put on some Alvin Purple and see what treasures I can dig up in my happy home.

Purple you say?
ReplyDeleteLike yourself I don't think I've ever particularly liked or disliked the colour and I don't think I have too much about the place. I shall see what I can discover though. Which is the fun part! :)
I love the florals and animals in your collection and are those lollies?!
Your purple posey has me tickled pink...if you'll excuse the crappy pun! I'm a bit meh about purple too - but you've given me a great colour inspiration for my next pedicure!
