True Colours Thursday - PURPLE!

Earlier in the week I was, wondering what I was going to use for the colour PURPLE - I don't choose the Colours for this meme to make it easy for myself - not @ all, they are a wild random selection from Aileni's Rainbow!
And, PURPLE is not big in my life, though it certainly will be when the bruises from my accident emerge - LOL!
But, yesterday morning when looking for a cosy sweater to brave the cold in, I recalled my Chenille one & my Celtic Amethyst jewellery and quickly took this snap...Which subsequently, reminded me of the magnificent, ornately embroidered PURPLE Vestment Robe seen in the Cathedral during a visit to an Open Day @ Christ Church College...And, the flowers in the Master's Garden there...
My True Colours Thursday is easy to join in.
All you need is photos or text on the weeks chosen colour.
And, just leave me a comment to say your playing.
This weeks known participants are:-
Aileni, BJ, Dragonstar, Mar, Jonna,
Other PREVIOUS players, who may join in later today, can be found listed on TCT BLOG ROLL in my side bar.
I promise to visit ALL, as soon as I can.
And, I welcome newcombers & followers Lily Hydrangea, who has two interesting blogs and the Dughallmor Beagles!

The colour for next week is BLACK - my bruises may be that shade by then!

Love your purple jewellery. I hope you heal soon, that sounds very painful. It has been very icy around here up until yesterday, not nice at all.

Take care.

Mine is up now too! :-)

Mar said...

Your Celtic Amethyst jewellery is wonderful!!! love your purple choices. It wasn't easy!!

BJ Roan said...

You came up with some excellent purple offerings. I hope your purple bruises aren't too bad. I also hope you are not in pain today.

Lily Hydrangea said...

I'm playing!
Thanks for visiting my blog. It's nice to hear you have such good humor over your accident. I hope you are feeling better every day.
Have you ever heard of Arnica? It is a homeopathic remedy that you can usually get in a health food store as an ointment. It works wonderfully on bruises. I use it whenever I get a bruise.

Molly just posted her entry for today. Purple is my favorite color and amethyst is my birthstone. That is gorgeous amethyst jewelry!

Hope you feel better soon.

This is how it will go.

Black, then a horrible shade of blue (sorry but not a nice blue!), then kinda green and yellow, then grey and then gradually it disappears.........

I did mine back in November and still have one slightly swollen eye, and some greyness under and above the eye. And I did it in November.

Hope I have cheered you up!!!!!!

The Celtic brooch is lovely btw, it will go with the small sporran, shame there is not a mini Scotsman about too, to cheer you up!!

Letty ;0)

Gorgeous purples, Blue! I plan on participating today, but it will be later on this afternoon (maybe nighttime for you) as I have some early afternoon plans, and am having difficulty finding purple things.

And I love the color. Strange, huh?

I love the comment you left on Word of the Day--it really made my day :)

My Mommy loves that robe! I did the meme!

Love the brooch. Good selection of purples.

Mine's up....finally. I wasn't able to find much, but finally found a cute little bear.

Hope the purple bruises go away soon.
