The essence of Lavender


 I keep a lavender stem in my journal that my mother in law gave me last year.  It has dried by now, but the smell is still strong and every time I smell it reminds me of that beautiful field of lavender where she picked it from.  Amazing how a specific smell can make you re-live a whole experience again.  Lavender has a very special presence, one of understated and classic elegance and a smell that usually brings a lot of happy memories.  Don’t you agree?

    Julie, I do love lavender…it's way too hot for it in Texas, but we can find it in abundance in the shops. My daughter has a very laid-back kind of style (not like me at all) and loves the tin buckets with all dried flowers. Lovely post.

    Gorgeous post and I share your love for lavender, when we were in Provence last yaer…I bought these wonderful little sachets…they have long "expired" but there is still a soft trace of scent which I love and it takes me back to that incredible place everytime I take a sniff!!

    I love lavender and had so much growing in my garden before i moved and I miss it. Need to replant as soon as possible.
