i find myself coveting my neighbor these days because her gorge lilac bushes are blooming. lucky for her they are out of arm's reach, and unlucky for me they are just out of sniffing range.
NOTHING brings me back to my childhood like the scent of lilacs.
we had a beautiful bush in our yard in my very special little town and the smell brings on nostalgia overload.
i'm not a huge fan of purple but if it's just the right shade of lilac, it's a go!
especially on princess cake.
obvs.
but us commoners might have to settle for these options to bring a lil lilac into our lives.

| to leave you with a deep thought {via boomie} “April is the cruelest month, breeding lilacs out of the dead land, mixing memory and desire, stirring dull roots with spring rain.” ― T.S. Eliot, The Waste Land guess i'm not the only one feeling nostalgic.  |

I LOVE IT! I am wearing TO BUY OR NOT TO BUY right now, a lilac sweater and have lilacs in our bedroom! Great minds.... XOX BOOM
I have been stalking my new neighborhood to find lilac bushes to steal blossoms from... much like our mothers used to do on their morning walks!
