Lilac is the colour which suits me the most when it comes to clothes. As if you need to know that! (Insert a big grin, okay!)<br /><br />Thank you a million times for that link to Downtown Abbey. I have not had the privilege of watching it yet. I adore Maggie Smith. She is such a commanding woman in the roles that she plays. I adored her in The Secret Garden. It seems to me she was born to play all the roles she is assigned to. <br /><br />I shall certainly explore that link!Lucillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08216586118985900266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1978095106041835284.post-80933158302724509882012-03-01T05:50:31.277-08:002012-03-01T05:50:31.277-08:00Hello Terri,

My grandmother Lynch loved to hunt for violets every Spring, they bloomed usually in March where we lived in Alabama. Some flowers would have soft darker colored petals, she called these "velvet-eared violets". Thanks for sharing the pretty china cup.<br />DorothyAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13897188995077538371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1978095106041835284.post-60642482058461521042012-02-28T16:37:52.724-08:002012-02-28T16:37:52.724-08:00We all have violets on our minds..horticulturally ...We all have violets on our minds..horticulturally and culturally!

And at one time or another have grown them in my yard (until the destroyer pulled them up, my husband - the man can't tell a flower from a weed, sigh). The only thing I left are 3 lilac bushes. <br />I love that cup, I actually have a few of them. They belonged to my husband's grandmother. She gave them to me years ago, and they are so very pretty. I treasure them especially since she gave them to me instead of to one of her granddaughters.<br /><br />Elaine AllenElaine Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10596719938318233062noreply@blogger.com
