Lavender says Summer ..... fragrant, blue, violet, lilac flowers, sometimes blackish purple, borne on spikes and found in acres of fields and gardens around the world.
English lavender yields an essential oil with sweet overtones producing a beautiful fragrance.
Ooh ..... how did that get in there ?!!!! { well, it is lavender/blue in colour and very magical to me !! }
I have decided to start ' Monday Magic " ..... a collection of beautiful images with a theme. I'm not promising ' Monday Magic ' every Monday { as regulars to HOME know, I'm a bit of a sporadic blogger, to say the least !! } but, I'll do my best !!
Have a great week everyone and make it magical.

Am I right in thinking that adding lavender to any beverage makes it medicinal? The young fellow is as charming as ever, and grown so much.

Have you been to Hitchin Lavender? I went there last weekend and brought armfuls home and filled jugs around the house - smells divine!

Everything you do is magic and you saved the very best photo for the end! Love themed posts Jackie ~ I used to do quite a few for Wordless Wednesday but have not done one for awhile. Will look forward for more ~ sporadic or not. xoxo
ReplyDeleteThank you for those beautiful, beautiful photos! I have the feeling the soft lilac sends its soothing qualities right over here (and boy, I need that at the moment...). Balsam for eyes and soul.
ReplyDeleteI still have an image in my mind: a restaurant in a very old country house in the middle of Hannover, and they had thrown lavendel onto the wooden stairs, and with every step the sweet modest charming scent cracked up under your feet.
Your lavender post is beautiful!!! You have to know which photo is my favorite though! Oh yes, I would say he fits the lavender theme :)))))
ReplyDeletemuch love...
This post is full of the colors in the lil' lady bean's nursery, so I, of course, LOVE it!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful collection of pictures! That milky lavender sea is strangely hypnotizing!
