    Default Is there any purple in your holiday decor?

    Just wondering... if any of your Christmas / holiday decorations are purple.

    Of course, you'll want to know why... it's because the 2012 Holiday Flourish line has purples in it. This is the 5th Christmas/winter collection by Peggy Toole, who designs for Robert Kaufman.

    Is this a new trend?

    All my Christmas decorations have purple in them......my whole house has purple! Now I am trying to find a certain Asian panel that has the white cranes, black, dark gray and a muted purple. I want to make a wall hanging for our family room but I have come to the conclusion this fabric may have been discontinued.

    I think Purple is going to be hot next year. I found some lavendar silk ponsettia that I made an arrangement for my mom. When I went back to Joann's there were no more of the lavendar.

    I hear you! Guys are not so into purple.

    I did see some lavender poinsettias in the grocery store tonight. (I still prefer red ones myself...)

    I have a friend at work who loves purple. I'm making her purple free standing lace ornaments and an angel tree topper.
