The Power of Scent
I LOVE candles! I have them in EVERY single room in my house, except my son's room, he likes diffusers! Our sense of smell is extremely sensitive and provocative. A certain smell can send you back down memory lane in an instant OR it can make you run for cover! However, the wonderful smell of a burning candle should not be underestimated,it can change your mood quickly. I have scented candles burning for me as I arrive home at the end of a very long day (thanks to my considerate daughter.)The smell welcomes me and quickly ushers me in to have a seat. We all know what a warm bath surrounded by candles will do for our bodies. Try keeping a candle and a candlelighter in your front entry and light it as you arrive and notice how that smell seems to melt your worries away just like the melted wax of your candle.

Babies as Accessories???
I couldn't resist, I don't know if I am getting the "Grandmother" craving or what, but when I saw these little babies in these baskets, especially since I have some of these baskets on my wall! I had to share them with you. This is the BEST use of a basket accessory that I have ever seen, I hope you enjoy!

My favorite flower of all!
I am just begining to garden. I love hydrangea's. I have planted 4 bushes so far. I think that it is such a beautiful classy flower, with it's full mop head and lush green foilage. I was introduced to this flower by one of our local artists Ms. Otis.
This time of year makes us naturally want to spend time outside, gardening is, the best exercise, my thighs still hurt(don't ask!) and there is NOTHING like cutting your own flowers and displaying them in your home. I have some amazing pics of some flowers that may "inspire" you to get out and plant your own.
