My home is a refuge not only from the world, but from my worries, my troubles, my concerns. I like beautiful things around me. I like to be beautiful because it delights my eyes and my soul is lifted up.

hummmmm.....the color purple

I think it ticks God off if you walk by the color purple in a field somewhere and don't notice it.” (or I might add a picture of such beautiful-ness)





Did you know that eating purple foods
strengthens the nervous system and mental health?

My favorite purple quote:

“When I am an old woman I shall wear purple, With a red hat which doesn't go and doesn't suit me, And I shall spend my pension on brandy and summer gloves, And satin sandals, and say we've no money for butter".

Favorite purple memory:
When I first met my husband's family and home, I was surprised to see 2 purple chairs in their living room. Mark told me his mom loved the color purple. I'll never forget that first impression.

Does the color purple stir up any memories for you?

My very favorite purple thing is "Purple mountains majesty"...the mountains that I look at every day out my window. I love it when they actually look purple. They make me feel safe and secure. Great post and great pictures!!

Purple is my favorite color. And not just because I had a crush on Donny growing up. Your photos are gorgeous!

LOVE purple! I don't wear it enough, need to change that.

So excited since it's one of the wedding colors for the kids in October. I think it will be gorgeous!

I too love purple. In fact my wedding was purple and my daughter that just got married also had a purple wedding (I was so happy!).
I bought a purple shirt last week and I planted purple petunia's in my yard.
Purple is Royal!!
