shades of purple

 i e-mailed the bob in a panic the other day because i found myself loving this necklace.  which is purple!  and if you know me, you'll know i strongly dislike purple.  the bob told me it was okay because it's lavender or some other BS.  anyhoot, i still want it and i'm still having an identity crisis.  maybe it's okay if i add a teeny bit of purple/lilac/lavender to the 'drobe?  





but what kind of message will that send to c & p?  those impressionable little naughties will want even more purple than what i've allowed thus far.  C insisted on the eyelet gap dress below for her Easter dress.  despise.  i was so happy when she spilled her bubbles on it early in the day and had to change into something pink & lovely.









i think i just need to spend a tad extra on this stella mccartney adorbleness below.
C would worship!



LOVE.

loverly lilac

i find myself coveting my neighbor these days because her gorge lilac bushes are blooming.  lucky for her they are out of arm's reach, and unlucky for me they are just out of sniffing range.

NOTHING brings me back to my childhood like the scent of lilacs.
we had a beautiful bush in our yard in my very special little town and the smell brings on nostalgia overload.



i'm not a huge fan of purple but if it's just the right shade of lilac, it's a go!
especially on princess cake.  


obvs.

but us commoners might have to settle for these options to bring a lil lilac into our lives.

“April is the cruelest month, breeding
lilacs out of the dead land, mixing
memory and desire, stirring
dull roots with spring rain.”

― T.S. Eliot, The Waste Land

guess i'm not the only one feeling nostalgic.
