Melody F says:Oooh! Love these colors. I wonder if the violet ribbon will fit through the lattice filigree beads. That would look so pretty. I may try it. I think I have both in my stash.

dolllady aka Pam says:I went to the University of Northern Iowa and our colors were purple and gold. When I moved to Texas to teach the colors were purple and white. There were 4,00 high school students. After a few years they decided a new high school. My elementary campus sent our students to the new high school whose colors are purple and black. I love your purple and gold pick.
