Dried Purple Flowers

Sep 26

There is something about these dried purple flowers that remind me of my grandmother. I'm not sure why. Did she grow them in her garden when I was little? I don't remember her having them there. Is it the color? Well, that could be. I seem to recall her wearing purple and periwinkle blue from time to time. Is it because they are a long-standing garden staple? Maybe that, too. Maybe for all those reasons, or none of them, they remind me of her.As I was organizing my office, putting away books from summer, notebooks, Grandma's handwritten cookbook, I decided to bundle them and decorate with dried purple flowers - Bachelor Buttons. I like the way they bought out the blue in the gray book covers. Sometimes, you just never know where or when a still life subject will present itself.
