"Mauve? Mauve is just pink trying to be purple."
-James McNeill Whistler
Now isn't that true!? There are so many shades of purple! I found this out as I was looking for the color purple for this week's Scavenger Hunt. I also realized that there are not many things that are purple. I thought it would be easy to find, but it wasn't. Sure, there were flowers, but I had taken alot of pictures of flowers recently and I wanted to be different. So, I present to you purple:
Okay, these ARE flowers, but I did something a little different with them. I like how they look like a star, too. Does anyone know what kind of flower this is? I found it in my Mom's neighbor's yard.
The second picture is a yummy treat! A grape gummi bear!:
Thirdly, I have a purple jug for you. I have a glass collection, as I have told you many times before :-). This is a purple jug I found at an Amish lady friend's craft store. It was the Amish lady that made my quilt. I wrote about her, remember? This jug has a picture of George Washington on it. It held maple syrup. I am not sure how old it is (or even if it is old at all), but I didn't purchase it for the age, I liked the color and style.:
Lastly, I have a clay picture I painted one afternoon of purple lillies. Here is part of it. It was too big to take the whole thing. It was fun!:
I have been having a blast with Matt being here! He is my sunshine!! I will be back on regular schedule when he leaves Tuesday afternoon. I hope everyone is having a good weekend! Hope you enjoyed my purple items! Sending out hugs and love! xox

ReplyDeletePurple is one of my favourite colours, it's my happy colour. I looked around my house though and could find nothing purple! OK, I found a purple charity leaflet, but that wouldn't have made for a good entry would it!!
Glad you're having fun with Matt :o)

LOVE THEM ALL VAL. I THINK THE FIRST ONE IS SOME KIND OF LILLY...BERT
ReplyDeletePurple and cobolt blue are my very favorite colors...(sshhh, don't tell the other colors) so I truly appreciate these photos. Thanks Val!
ReplyDeleteVal, Love the flower, not sure what it is. And the bottle is cool -- does it have a stopper or was it a crok? That can help determine how old it is. Glad you had fun with Matt! :-)

Stopped by 'cause I read your sister's journal and she said your having comp problems. I hope you can fix it. Sometimes, it just takes a little patience. If you write me what's wrong, I'll try to think of a solution. Just also include what kind of "Windows" you have ..... XP, Millineum? And, of course, describe the problem. : )

I alway stand in awe of the colour Green - there are so many different shades - you only have to look across the fields and meadows in the countryside. but purple is one of my favourite colours. Liked your picture of the purple flower was it oil colour ?......Ally
ReplyDeletewas it oils on clay - shone so well ?
ReplyDeleteMiss you, Val! Love, Penny
