Colourful Fridays-Lavender

I think lavender is a very pretty color. It's one of my oldest daughter's favorites. Her room was decked out in various shades of lavender and white. Unfortunately most of her items are with her at university.
One of my favorite artists when I was a teenager was Cicely Mary Barker who created the delightful Flower Fairies. I think I collected pictures of almost all of them at one point and had little books with poems. Guess which one is the most popular in her garden series ............ LAVENDER :)

There is a wonderful interactive site that you can visit http://www.flowerfairies.com/home.html so hop on over there and play for a while :)
So I went rummaging through my drawers (do I sound like the armoire from Beauty and the Beast !!!), and a closet or two and found a few surprising items.

On the floor and .......

on my daughter's much loved, and almost totally shredded, lavender quillow. Seriously if you hold the quillow up the seams fall away and some areas have been completely worn through.

Look at the lavender dress on the book cover. Isn't it just gorgeous. The jewelry box came all the way from India.
High up on one of our "treasure shelves" sits this lovely pair. I cleaned the shelf specially for today. If we ever do the color grey I'll take a picture of Nashville dust :)

There's a slight change to the link for November. Robyn is out of town so head on over to http://kaingahappenings.blogspot.com/ where the wonderful Bev is being the guest host.
