  2. Kit dearest!!! WHAT A FRENCH and fabulous header you have here! And those peonies???? I remember when I was living in Nice. Oh dear, every morning was a treat to wake up early and hit the streets and watch the merchants open up their shops, smell the pleasant odor of baked goods issue out from those little bakery windows and then go to the Saleya open market. Thank you for this lovely memory! AND thank you for stopping by to hop on the plane to Paris.
    Do come back next week to follow the links to the city of lights!

    1. This particular bunch of lavender was grown in Sault, in Provence... must be the soil! :)

      Actually I think the pH of the soil does affect the deepness of the lavender color, I will check into this too

      happy gardening and homebuilding.. I'm now a follower of your blog!

  9. Dearest Kit .... How are you and how was your incredible trip? The peonies and the lavender are stunning and so remind me of our beautiful Provence. I can't wait to see more but I know you are probably still very jetlagged and exhausted. Kit I am coming to New York in December and I don't know if you will be there but if you happened to be in the area I would so love to meet you. I have already organized with Karina to meet for a day of fun in the Big Apple on Thursday 6th December for lots of bubbles, shopping and all that New York entails!!!!!!
    can't wait to see more of Provence
    love and best wishes
    Franny
    ps I know you are in San Fran and it is a long way from New York but if by chance you might have been there at that time it would be incredible to meet you!

  11. I cannot think of anything that smells better than fresh bunches of lavender, seriously, I could almost smell them as I looked at that picture! And my grandmother always had big peony plants in the garden by her front door - wow, your post took me back to happy times and made me smile. Thank you for that :)
