Lilacs & Violets


I love the lilac, violet and purple. Here are a few lilac, violet and purple coloured items to be found around my home


One of my favourite items ewer & basin which used to belong to Alan's Aunt. The colours and the design are so beautiful.

You will also find violet soaps mixed in with my clothes. The scent is heavenly when you open the drawers. I associate the scent of violets with my Belgian Grandmother Gabrielle, her skin always smelt of violets. She used Yardley's violet soap and as her skin retained perfume well, it stayed on her all day long. Wonderful memories, it is so nice that a scent can take you right back to a specific moment or a person.
