I like these unusual taste.<br />Like that Postcard. Violets represents always something a little bit vintage and old fashion.<br />Perfect in this case.Catherinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10916324312194538199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2191732056240004567.post-16853142897406808442009-04-18T10:51:00.000+02:002009-04-18T10:51:00.000+02:00Sorry, Marie,It's late for posting my PFF.It's because I'm on holydays.<br />Bye and happy PFF.Eddyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08898287532319478710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2191732056240004567.post-82056892584947183822009-04-18T04:02:00.000+02:002009-04-18T04:02:00.000+02:00Interesting postcard!

I purchased a tin of Violet candies. They were hard and shaped like the beloved blossom; were purple and heavily frosted with sugar. No matter how much I Love Violets, I never was able to "like" those candies...<br /><br />Thanks so much for sharing this Lovely image!<br /><I>~blessings~</I>Pearl<br /><br /><A>April ~ AUTISM Awareness Month~</A>Pearlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13005230621938925963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2191732056240004567.post-32047510658734823172009-04-17T09:29:00.000+02:002009-04-17T09:29:00.000+02:00Lovely violets!
