Think of Provence and you conjure up images of golden sunshine, lavender fields, undulating hills with citrus and olive trees. So how do you bring the essence of Provence back home?
This collection of souvenirs arrived with family after their brief sojourn in the towns of Bonnieux and Gordes. The provençal bread basket tied with ribbon is a perfect accompaniment to my provençal tablecloth.
The lavender tea or thé lavande is set to bring the aromas into wintry afternoons and who could resist the hugging salt and pepper shakers with an olive motif?
And with the Provence Aromes soap from Entraigues-sur-la-Sorgue perfuming the air, all I need to do is close my eyes to smell Provence.

These are good ideas for sure. 🙂 The hugging salt and pepper folks are adorable. 🙂 Lately I’ve been bringing back scarves and jewelry – that way I get to wear them and remember my good times abroad. 🙂
Isn’t it a wonderful feeling to wear something you’ve brought back from travels? It’s like an instant trip back! 🙂
Not sure about the lavander tea, but I love all those deliciously smelly soaps and body products.
The tea is very light in the lavender taste. I might see if I can use it to flavour some desserts.
