With Christmas preparations in full steam ahead mode, one really needs
to stop and smell the pine and fir trees now and then. My dining room
table vignette was casually gathered together yesterday. It includes fresh
fir branches. I also recycled a few of my autumn pumpkins stored in
the potting shed after Halloween . . . . . my favorite grey green one,
and two golden beauties which I've spray painted nickel silver for the
holiday season.
Yesterday my special friend Jeannette and I managed to meet for a pot of
calming hot tea at a favorite coffee shop - and shared a delicious Asiago
cheese scone while catching up on news. We exchanged Christmas
gifts and one of my pretties is a candle with the fragrance named
'Tree Farm'.
Awaking to a heavy fog early this morning, I stumbled into a still dark
kitchen and lit the candle (Jeannette thoughtfully added a cute box of
old fashioned matches) on the island. In minutes I was transported
to the the winter woods of my childhood. It was lovely.
Do special scents at Christmastime bring back childhood memories for you?
