After Twelve Days of Christmas and however many months that the retail markets try to sell anything related to what it labels "The Holidays", I feel like I've seen enough RED and GREEN to last a lifetime. My eyes yearn for a restful palette.
Violets on an antique lavender rimmed plate to hold my chocolate covered cherries.
Hershey's Dark Chocolate Kisses wrapped in royal purple light up the reflections in the swirly round oil globe.
Even the sunlight shining through a prism casts cool soothing lavender and purple splotches on my blue area rug.

ymmm, chocolate covered cherries, one of my favorites. Run Forest, run...
Love the purples, violets, etc....
Beautiful post! yeah, we need some different colors right now...LOL
I just put the green and red yarn in my knitting basket away because I was tired of those colors too. I'll be ready to start thinking about what to do with them around October or so, but for now purples and violets are much nicer.
See? Now I need a chocolate. . on a lavender plate. . .and I'm thinking of Easter. . .so pretty.
Talk about overload...there's too much RED here, every corner, shop, mall, loud new year music blasting away and well..an overload of red. Those chocolates look real yummy and that burst of colour on the rug is so cool :D
I sooooooo love purple!!!
Those chocolate kisses made me drool, I'm trying to loose some weight here!!!
By the way, would you drop by my blog? I have an award for you!
LOVE that rainbow on your carpet, Willow! Chocolate and lavender...wonderful antidote to the holidays just past...mmm...Happy Day ((HUGS))
Good morning Willow. Thank you for your visit yesterday. So you are a fellow Portlander....though currently residing in California.
I am enjoying looking around your site. Purple happens to be a favorite color of mine also. It is a color of hope and joy to me.
Those chocolates sure look tempting too.
Blessings to you.
Yesss.... That's better. I'm ready for something other than red and green myself!
restful colours - and of course a little chocolate is good too!
How very appealing! Love your little violet plate :)
Love all the purples! I'll make sure So. Belle looks at these, since it is here favorite color! :o)
Those are some restful (and yummy-looking!) photos for frazzled eyes. And perfect for looking forward to spring!
Those chocolate covered cherries are making me yearn.
What flavor are those purple-wrapped kisses?
Such nice, soft shades of purple. Soooothing!
Beautiful photos -- especially the chocolates on the violet plate...of course.
What a beautiful rainbow on your carpet! Here the sun is still too week for me to swing the crystal shapes and have rainbows dancing on the walls.:-) I'm looking forward to Spring.
That is my fav shade of purple!
Hope you are feeling better.
That second shot is beautiful.
