In a cloud of fragrant lilac, a rainbow...






So great to escape the city and hang out briefly in a lush oasis of friendship and calm, with the scent of Lilacs in the air and a pitcher of Pimms to share.

I'm also so looking forward to colour week, as co-ordinated by the queen of colour magic and curiosity, the lovely Lisa.

The agenda is:
~ Monday - blues
~ Tuesday - greens
~ Wednesday - yellows & oranges
~ Thursday - reds & pinks
~ Friday - purples
I can't wait to dive into all that colourful loveliness.

Sign up here if you haven't already done so and would like to play along... the more the merrier!

Lilacs are heavenly. After 14 years at this house my little bush FINALLY has a few blooms! We have terrible soil, but such lovely flowers from it. I will photograph as soon as the wind stops howling!

The lilacs are blooming here too. I just cut some white ones from my yard. It's one of my favorite scents ever!

I may play along with your color scheme too :)
