    Love how Benjamin tells on himself when asked if he's been taking all the candles from the windows. He's such a sweet helper, sweeping up the cloves and pushing them in place. Darling child.
    Magnolia holds a special place in my Texan heart, as does seeded eucalyptus. Learning long ago that you ordered yours from your florist every year was a revelation. No more chasing it down here and there. Your mantel is just lovely. ~ Lisa
    Edited to add: I love Planterina! Thank you for introducing us to her. Those are some mighty fine hoyas. Lucky girl.

    The hoyas brought back memories of my mother's kitchen. She grew them and they wound up from the broad windowsills she had built just for her plants and went across the tops of the cabinets. When they bloomed, they were very pretty. Each little blossom in the flower cluster had a scented sap on it. Thank you for the memory! That's a lovely gift. 💖
