I've always loved the smell of lavender. It is above and beyond one of my favorite smells in the world (the best is toasted peanut butter and fluff sandwiches - I'm nostalgic). We recently started growing cherry tomatoes and basil for homemade bruschetta. While watching these plants grow has been somewhat fun, I miss the smell and color of summer gardens (which just isn't possible to attempt in a small apartment). Yesterday morning we ventured out to a local farm and greenhouse to pickup 2 lavender plants. We are going to put the lavender in a deep window frame above our bed, in the hopes that the scent will fill up our bedroom. I didn't want to simply buy a pretty pot to showcase the lavender, so I decided to make one. I bought 2 terracotta pots and went to work painting them a deep forest green overlaid with vertically sponged gold columns.
Yay for lavender!
ReplyDeleteand um, "tea journaling" only conjurs up "tea bagging" when I hear it in your voice... because I am weird and when I read things I hear it in their voice... and I know you would start to snort over that one!
