I'm another purple addict, plus lilac and dove grey.

I should think my coffin will be covered in what my GSs call 'Nanny's colour' but let's hope that is a long time off.

When I had my colours done, I was told that everyone can wear purple which is a good job as I love purple, pinks and blues.

We have incorporated purple into our bathroom, the 'playroom' has a deep purple wall and pink and grey curtains and our bedroom is 'very pink' as described by my niece.

However, our lounge has dark red walls with gold curtains and the dining room has the same red on the ceiling with red, black and cream curtains. I think DH must have had an influence there!

I like the blue spectrum best. Indigo, purple, lilac and all blues are my favourite. These are reflected in the garden, in my clothes and jewellery. Not in the house though as this is mostly shades of green.
I dislike yellow and orange and never wear black as it makes me look like the walking dead

Would it be...........
In your home,in your wardrobe or possibly in your Jewellery Box?

I love,love,love purple and all colours of the sea from a deep jade,to aqua marine and whilst coupled with cream I have used these colours within my home to great effect and many a compliment may I add .........

Whilst these colours always take precedence in my wardrobe.

The colour purple is often associated with Royalty,nobility,luxury,power and ambition.Purple also represents meaning of wealth,extravagance,creativity,wisdom,dignity,grandeur,devotion,
Peace,pride,mystery,independence and magic.

Jade is a talisman of peace and serenity.It calms and restores,like a veil of slow moving clouds covering the moon.It is spiritual.It ranges from pale to mid blue,sometimes a pale bluish-green,and is widely used to temper emotional upheaval!

Aquamarine enhances creatitivity and inspiration,it calms and balances the mind and emotions,often referred to as “water of the sea”.

(Please don`t judge me, by my outfits or my home by these descriptions.............although I do find many of them to have much truth within them!!!)
