the scent of the sea
*
a new lipstick
*
olives & wine
*
the loyalty of a dog
*
the soft perfumed skin of my mother
*
standing out in the garden watching the stars on a frosty night
*
the smell of a tomato stalk
*
laughter...and more laughter
*
a perfectly ripe pear
*
the smell of old books
*
a flying swan...so beautiful..
*
blowing bubbles into the sky
*
sunset
*
sunrise
*
wandering with no purpose
*
a freshly ironed pile of linen
*
dinner in the oven
*
fresh flowers every week
*
walking...anywhere

the promise of a new book to read

I love your list, but you know which item I loved most? The smell of a tomato stalk. Yes, indeed.

Wishing you a beautiful February! xo

Hi Gigi, thanks for the comment...the smell of tomatoes always reminds me of my grandfather..his grrenhouse was filled with them and pinching a tomato stalk and smelling that fragrance transports me immediately to that place!!
