It details the history of the development of a particular shade of purple which at one time, as you said, is worth even more than gold. <BR/><BR/>I love the colour purple too, ever since I found out as a kid that it is obtained by combining blue and red. To me it represents the perfect balance - if red represents positive energy and happiness; and blue denotes sadness and yin; then purple to me is like the colour of life - a beautiful mixture of both. Its elegance to me stems from the fact that it does not refrain from either sadness or joy, but embraces both and in the process turned them into the most beautiful shade known to mankind. <BR/><BR/>Btw, I love Louis XVI chairs also :) I envy you that you have pieces at home that look like this :)Snowdropshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15962700356638572864noreply@blogger.com
