My best friend Rhonda Thompson and I gazed blissfully at the TV screen. It was 1971, and we were in 3rd grade. David Cassidy of the Partridge Family was singing “I think I love you” and we were in heaven!
Rhonda’s sister rudely interrupted us and announced that I was to go home “right now.” WHAT? In the middle of the show?!
As I stomped outside to walk across the street to my house, the most gorgeous thing stopped me dead in my tracks. There was a beautiful, brand-new purple and blue bike with my name on it!
I have always loved all shades of purple.
I thought it might be fun to do some “color” posts. I will start with the best color. 🙂 Since periwinkle is not all that prevalent, I am including other shades of purple and blue for your enjoyment. If you have seen some of these images before, grant me grace. I hope you will take the time to click on them to see their beauty up close.
Ready, set, enjoy all the periwinkle with me!
Stunning purple seascape!
Good reminder…
I love how there is both purple and blue on some of the petals
Fun-colored towels

Found this chest o’ drawers in a driveway with a “free” sign on it. Brought it home and painted it to match my walls!
Quite possibly the coolest plant ever. Seen at Myriad Botanical Gardens in Oklahoma City.
Saw this giant geode in Estes Park. Not sure “who” was taller, me or it!
Magical!
Perhaps the best periwinkle-colored flower

These flowers are striking!
Wow! Even a periwinkle house?! I quickly snapped it as we drove through Leadville, CO
Part of a perfectly “periwinkled” room
Surprised to see a periwinkle mailbox on my walk!
That is all of my periwinkle I will share for now. I have to save some for other posts.
By the way, I loved that bike…almost as much as David Cassidy. 🙂
If you have a color post that you would like to see, let me know.
This is “Periwinkle Pam” signing off with…

Glad you’re here!
Max has a stuffed cat named “Periwinkle.” The cat is a character from Blues Clues! Thought you’d like that! Love that color as well!
Love that! 🙂
Love all your periwinkle pictures! My personal favorite is probably the castle!!! I am a Disney lover and have a similar picture on my iphone home screen:)
Thanks, Jane. Yes, that castle is stunning with the night lighting!
I swear you’re an angel. I came across your post on fb in the midst of an extremely stressful situation so I opened it. Like you, my favorite color is any shade of purple! Within seconds I was in my “happy place”. Needless to say I loved this post. I’ve also found many treasures at what I call “curb sales”. Thanks for inviting me back into your world! I am also a huge red, white & blue fanatic. Maybe an idea for the future!
Jewels, I am glad my posts are helpful to you. 🙂 Thanks for the idea! I will see what I can find. Actually, I got a great pic of some red carnations today. I love carnations!
I loved the pictures!!
Thanks, seester! 🙂
