Summer of Color this week is purple~ When I think of purple, lavender comes to mind, aubergine like eggplant, grapes, mountains from a distance, the sun setting, Jim Hendrix and yes, Donny Osmond.
I love the song "Purple Haze"; Donny, I believe sang a song, all dressed in purple. I can't find the clip; I remember it though, my best friend went berserk. Purple was her favorite color and she was in love with Donny Osmond, like a lot of us were. Funny list, huh... My kids would have a different one, but I'm not going there, lol. Yes a dinosaur might be listed~
I struggled with this piece; first I was going to do cards. Then I found this house, I made out of a paper bag a month ago. I found a quote and went from there. It is different, so if you comment different, I'm fine with that. I thought of home being where you can be yourself. I also thought of Dorothy saying, "there's no place like home". I decided to go with this quote: "There is nothing like staying at home for real comfort"~Jane Austen. When I went away to camp, I did have a great time, but I missed my home; my routine. I thought like Jane, I missed where I sit and write, my books, my journals filled with ideas. Purple is a color with many meanings, but peace of mind and calm attracts my attention. This is why I wove purple with home.

Yes, I added some dried lavender, it calms me and I am thrilled my plant is thriving this year. Be sure to check out Kristin's blog, Twinkle, Twinkle to see more purple inspired art. What do you think of when purple comes to mind?

I think of purple as royal but also of simmering passion, too.
