v i o l e t at the market place

When I read  violet was this week's theme, I thought of lavender and the beautiful  lavender fields. The closest image I have  is the following shot from a market place last summer in France,  featuring lavender soap and the Provence cicadas.

And another favorite violet found at the same market place:

    I bought one of those violet soaps at the Coustellet market in France last year! You make me long for sun, France, Provence and holliday. *Looks outside at the rain falling down and sighs*

    Lol... it never really occurred to me before... violet/lavender really does seem like an old lady color ;-)

    Those are beautiful shots Mar. I should have participated in this one since I grow lavender although it's dies back for the winter. I enjoy seeing what you come up with for these themes.

    I think my camera, my taste buds and I would like to go shopping with you -- though my pocketbook quakes at the thought!

    Takes me back to when I lived in France and makes me wonder why I left. A truly delightful post.

    Before I read what you had written I thought that first picture was a bunch of wedding favors.

    Old lady or not, I love lavender. :) It's one of my favourites, especially growing in the garden. I love cutting it back after it has flowered, just for the smell that lingers.
