Fellow Purple Fanatics, You’re Going to LOVE These Dishes

November 11, 2020 By Joi Sigers

There are some things in life that kind of define me (cats, coffee, old movies, chocolate, more cats, strawberries, baseball…). One of the most beautiful definitions I have associated with me is the color purple. I’ve been a purple fanatic long before I could even spell it.

A while back, I did a post about purple in the kitchen and heard from quite a few people through e-mail echoing my love of purple. That’s why, after seeing (and falling head over purple sock-covered heels in love with them) these dishes on Amazon, I knew I had to share them here.

This gorgeous stoneware square 16 piece dish set is absolutely stunning. While I love the color, I love the shape just as much. They’re simply gorgeous… but I said that already, didn’t I?!

My dilemma is the fact that they’re also available in my second-favorite color, red!

While I’m adding these to the Christmas Gift Ideas Roundup, if you’re anything like me, you’re thinking more about your own table setting right now than anything.

These beauties are microwave and dishwasher safe, making their appeal EVEN greater. Click here (Amazon link) for a closer look.

Fill Your Home (and Life!) with Colors You Love

Purple Placemats

Purple Placemats

The beautiful purple (“Eggplant”) placemats (Amazon link), above, are a recent gift from me to me. Purple is my favorite color and, since it makes me deliriously happy, I color as much of my world purple as I can.

Purple is a recurring theme in our home and yard. I also love red (What is it with me and loud colors?? Don’t answer that…), so beautiful jewel tones of red an purple accompany one another frequently.

2020 has been a bust, to say the least, and it has all but drained me emotionally. As someone who is INSANELY empathetic, I cry as I see or read stories of sickness and loss. I’ve also been extra, extra worried about my family – 4 of us are in the “high risk” group (health conditions such as asthma) and one is pregnant! My third grandbaby is due any day and worrying about him and his mommy (my oldest daughter) has been a full-time job.

Recently, I ordered the gorgeous placemats, kind of as a mood lifter I suppose and they have brought so much happiness to me. Sounds crazy, I know, but each time I see them, I feel good. In a year like this one, we all need MORE of these kinds of things in our lives.

After I ordered these placemats, I saw the purple and white dish towels pictured below. I pointed them out to my husband and, because I married a sweetheart who just manages to get sweeter each year, he ordered them for me and surprised me with them a few days later.

Purple and White Kitchen Towels

Purple and White Dish Towels

The dish towels and placemats each come in a wide variety of colors and are very, very reasonably priced. I’m very, very impressed with the quality of each. You can mix and match the beautiful colors or do as I did, and simply go with your favorite color in the world.

Here’s the thing… while these are simple, simple purchases, the effects they have on your psyche are anything but simple. Every now and then it’s absolutely magical to do something out of the ordinary, completely self-serving, and fun. Not only does it make your world more colorful and fun, it lifts your mood and makes your psyche dance.

How are you going to beat that?!

See dish towels on Amazon.

See placemats on Amazon (The things I love the most about these placemats is the perfect size and the fact that they’re round! You can easily fit six on a table, without worrying about the edges touching… I’m just anal enough to be bothered by such things).


EDIT: I just found matching dishcloths on Amazon – and they’re available in even more colors than the beautiful towels are…. the yellow and red ones are just gorgeous!
