Before the Spring Breeze begins to appear, I must ask her to apportez-moi
some fragrance of France.
Lavender bouquets, mimosa, verbena and fresh linen.
Suddenly, doing the Laundry seems to be an enjoyable task.
I do wish I could hang the bedding from the window, but I will have to wait
until my return.
I do think I will start my Spring Cleaning. My little bottle of Lavender Essential Oil
seems to contain a little genie inside that puts me in the right state of mind for
doing mundane tasks, such as cleaning. I find it so amazing the effect that
smell can have on your brain.
For some cleaning recipes with Lavender you can go here and culinary recipes
If you don't feel like cooking and cleaning visit the Musée de la Lavande in
Provence.
Or maybe you would prefer to dream about that Maison in Provence you are going to buy.
Enjoy...I'm going to do laundry.

Oh I adore Lavender. It grows wildly around my home and I often add some lavender water or oil to my laundry and bath.
That home in Provence left me breathless. Isn't it truly a dream come true? I could go insane longing for a place like that to call my own lol.
Thank you for brightening my morning!

Hi Shawn ~
Lavender is one of my favorite scents! I loved seeing those lovely pics of this wonderful herb. I can't seem to grow it down here in S. Georgia ~ I guess it is too tropical. I have to settle for purchasing the dried kind for sachets and a bit of potpourri.
Ah, Provence in the Springtime....what a delightful dream!
Hugs, Bebe :)
Thank you Shawn,
This is my very special take me away place.
Yes, I would rather dream about the maison we are buying in France where our Great Pyrenees will not have to go through quarantine, because I can't live without him for a day. I'm off to tour le maison.
Yes, lavender certainly works wonders mentally. I keep saying this, but one day - I'm spending a Sunday here dreaming. I love your header by the way!

Shawn, you can shop for my home in France anytime. I want one just like the one you featured, surrounded by fields of lavendar, and, ahem, (whilst I dream) please include a laundress! What-a-post!!!!
Gorgeous Shawn! These pics evoke a beautiful feeling....pretty soon the weather will be warm enough to hang clothes on the line again.
Can't wait!

What a lovely post, with stunning photos! I love lavendar, too...and you've inspired me to start my spring cleaning!
I love your new banner, too. Everything is always so beautiful on your blog.
I have lavender and rosemary in my planters outside the front doors of the store. It is such a lovely scent to be greeted by and I use a linen spray on my pillow for sweet dreams. And now you have become a real estate broker of our fantasy homes. What a multi tasker! How do you do it all Shawn? lol
