Tid Bit Tuesday Purple Power

Purple Power

It’s  Tid Bit Tuesday time to share a more intimate look at my life.

 

 

 

 

When I was about 14 years old  I was window shopping with my Mother on the High Street ( the main street that has all of the shops). We were on our way home from time happily spent wandering from shop to shop when I saw them. Purple suede shoes! ( sorry no photo of the shoes so I’m sharing my purple shoe art). Be still my heart. I swooned as I looked doe eyed at my Mother and pleaded, ” oh pleeeeease… they are gorgeous and look at that color”. She looked at me knowing she shouldn’t give in to such a plea. But in we went, and soon I had my very first pair of purple shoes. Elvis would have flipped for those suede beauties. My gratitude was expressed loudly and my favorite color was declared. From that day forward purple has been my favorite color. Mostly shades of lilac and lavender. I like so many colors when it comes to decorating. But I always choose purples for something special.

About Purple- A purple room can boost a child’s imagination or an artist’s creativity.( not to much purple though)

Purple robes are often worn by royalty

Purple often symbolizes intuition and spirituality

Purple is well-liked by highly creative and also eccentric people, hmmmm:-)

Purple is both a warm and a cool color for decorating

Purple has been used to both calm and uplift people moods.

Do you have a favorite color? How and when did you decide it would be your favorite?

    What a cute story. Purple and Aqua are my two favorite colors. I agree with you that lilac and lavender are great shades of purple. When we first moved into our home eight years ago, I painted the back splash in our kitchen “Tahitian Treat”, a beautiful, darker shade of purple that reminds me of the wine country. 🙂 I love walking into my kitchen every day and enjoying the vibrant color.

    Pink is my favorite color. I’m not sure why, or when it happened…it’s been awhile though. The color just makes me happy.

    I am definitely a pink girl but that developed as I got older because I realized that color looks good on me (or maybe it looks good on me because I like it so much?). 😀
    I like all shades of pink but my fav is a corally pink.

    Blessings to you Katie!

    I always think of it as a regal color. I smiled at your shoe story. Sometimes we mothers just feel the need to indulge our children.♥

    When my niece was little she used to tell us all of the time that “puple” was her favorite color. She has grown up to be both creative and definitly a little eccentric.

    I guess I don’t have a favorite color but I do like purple thats for sure. I had no idea that purple could boost a childs imagination. Good to know!

    I love these posts when you tell us a little about yourself! Purple is one of my favourite colours as well. I love plummy colours and usually wear it as lipstick and nail varnish. I can imagine just how thrilled you were when your mum bought those gorgeous purple suede shoes for you! Happy days.

    All colors have a purpose, but my steadfast favorite is blue. Being raised on the muddy Texas coast, I always thought the color of ocean water was muddy green, impossible to see through. My first visit to a tropical coral ocean and crystal clear turquoise cemented my love of blue for oceans and blue skys, and opal stones, bluebirds…all things blue, except blue cheese.

    Thanks for a fun read. I have been trying to figure out when and why purple became my favorite color but can have no idea. I just know it has been my favorite for as long as I can remember, although it did get relegated to second place during my teens by red.

    The color green, which to me symbolizes life and growth, has always been my favorite color followed by purple. I keep a supply of green and purple Flair felt tip pens in my desk and use them for notes and correspondence. Those two colors empower me. Thanks, Katie!

    I like many colors, it usually depends entirely on my mood.

    […] As you enter the art room you are greeted by my angel wings. A quick scan around the room and you know straight away that I like purple. It has been my favorite color since I was  young. I wrote a post about it here. […]
