True Colors Thursday - Puce

Welcome to true colors Thursday once again! If you want to play along, let Blue know!
Today's color is puce, a color varying from deep red to dark purplish-brown!

This is mom's puce dishtowel! Not funny, mom!There are 3 jars of dilly beans and 1 jar of homemade tomato paste, which looks puce to us! Our friends, Pete and Laurie, make dilly beans every year from the beans they grown in their garden and we are lucky recipients!
The back cover of this book is puce! The book is called "Small Talk" It's full of pictures and patterns of miniature quilts!This is mom's Nantucket bag that goes just about everywhere that she goes! It holds her knitting projects! The brick sidewalks on the tote are a puce color and so is my collar!We promised dad we'd post of picture of his puce Indian motorcycle! He doesn't really call this color puce but it's close enough for us!Next week's color is pewter!

So until next time..............

Love ya lots,

Maggie and Mitch

  12. love the picture of the wonderful bike!

    My Jeannie wants to know whether your Mama saw the film about the Indian bike, starring Anthony Hopkins, my Dad said it was a very good film indeed. Of course my J cannot remember what it was called now, she thinks it may have been "The World's Fastest Indian".

    My two crazy peeps, lurve bikes!

    mucho love, Marvin xxxxxx

  13. Puce is really a nice color but the word just does not connote nice at all. Love that motorcycle and the collar, so sweet with those hearts on it.

  15. My mom didn't know what puce was until now. And she has that VERY same quilt book, so now she'll have a marker. So to speak.
    Woo.
    Luv,

  16. Yuck, couldn't they have come up with a nicer name for that color? "Puce" makes me think of the color of the similar-sounding word that describes what we so when our stomachs reverse gears.... Ug. How about maroon-ish cranberry instead??

  22. Nice choice of Puce colored stuff. My Auntie Ro would love the quilts. But I can totally understand why your dad would not be enthused about his motorcyle being called puce!
    luv,

  28. So that's what puce is! And what a neat-o motorcycle --- Dennis would love a ride on it, he's got a Honda Magna 550 and it doesn't run. Is that a new one?

    Love,
    Rudy
