With purple being my favorite color, I came up with the following:
Mask ~ Venice, Italy:
Lilac house ~ Burano, Italy:
Glass shop ~ Burano, Italy:
Flowers ~ Santa Margherita Ligure, Italy
Flowers ~ Baur B&B, Acqui Terme, Italy
Flowers ~ Sirmione, Lake Garda, Italy
shave ice & gelato 
What a lovely collection of purples. I also posted a photo of a house in Burano. I’m amazed at the color combination they come up with. The purple petunias from Diana’s place look so striking against the pinkish wall.
Purple is also my favorite color, it is the color of my birthstone.

These are beautiful! I didn’t know that purple was your favorite color – I like it a lot too. These show lots of different hues of it. I love those petunias next to the pink wall.
Hope you’re having a great weekend!

Thanks everyone!! I appreciate all of your comments. I find it pretty difficult to take a bad purple photo :)
menehune, no I have not been in Venice for carnivale. It would be too cold for me that time of year and I am working then. It must be fun though.
Mar, isn’t Santa Margherita Ligure beautiful?
candi, I also had a wonderful time! Thank you so much for the mamoul treats. They are delicious!! Lucky me!!
