Ah, violet. Or purple. Or lavender. Or lilac. Or plum. Or any shade in the purplish vicinity. I like it. And I used to hate purple. But somewhere along the line, sometime last year, I woke up and loved purple. It was weird. Any of you have a similar change of heart? Or have you always been purple people?
So, um, still thinking about your favorite color? Let's say you had to race in the Color Olympics, and you had to pick a color to run for... is purple your native land? Would you proudly race for purple? ;)

ReplyDeleteoh lovely lovely LOVELY - i do like a bit of purple! i love this series of posts very inspiring indeed :o)
ReplyDeleteDon't forget aubergine, eggplant and perrywinkle. I am a floral designer and lately every design has been based on some hue of purple. I love spring for all it's beautiful purple hued flowers. I'm not much of a purple person in my personal life, but some of my favorite sweaters have been purple.
ReplyDeleteI used to despise purple until I had a daughter :)
ReplyDeletewhat pretties!
I love the gentleman in the mustache!
ReplyDeleteI was the exact same way! I used to HATE purple and slowly over the last year or so, I've come to actually kind of love it. I'm still not huge fan of the lilac color, but I just LOVE the deep purples and the plums! Too weird...
ReplyDeletePurple is my absolute favorite! I'm a newbie embroider and haven't done much embroidery in purple hues, but it is such a deep, juicy color.
ReplyDeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteMany thanks for including my purple tree.
Purple is a colour I use frequently...one of my earliest memories, is pale purple walls and a patterned purple blanket I had in my bedroom, as a very small child.
Lov the Purple!!
ReplyDeletePurple has always been my fave! Purple is my native land haha!
ReplyDeletethank you for putting one of my pictures into your inspiration post!
