This was one of my Mother's Day gifts last month from Adelaide. A purple crayon. Super, super sweet. And also? A super, super clear order from my girl: LOVE the purple, Mama. Love it.
And I do of course. And so does my girl. Oh my, does she love purple.
A few weeks ago, with her in tow at the Farmers Market, she pointed out to me all the "amazing and beautiful purple flowers!". And my goodness, she was right. We decided right then and there that we needed to carve out a little spot for her in the yard, for her very own purple flower garden.
Pansies, violets, iris, phlox, lupines, and english lavender. She can tell you all about them. It's Ada's Purple Flower Garden.
(I used the vintage pattern above, and the fabric is starling blue by Alexander Henry.)
Practical, comfortable, and purple. We should all have a purple pantsuit (maybe)...
...but definitely a purple crayon with which to color our world, and purple flowers by our bed to wake up to. Because that's quite nice. In purple.
