There’s nothing like a being transported to a special time or place by a wonderful scent.

Over at Home Ec 101, Ivy received a letter asking how to keep the linen closet smelling fresh.  This brought to mind the wonderful aromas that remind her of her precious Grandma…

My grandma always had the best smelling linens. I remember going to her linen closet and standing in front of it just to smell. When I got older, I asked her why her linen closet smelled so much better than mine, and she told me she used sachets in her closet, with lavender as the scent.

Be sure to go check out Ivy’s simple instructions on how to create a sachet of your own!

What a perfect way to remember such a special person, Ivy…

…now every time I open my closet or put new sheets on the bed or jump out of the shower, I breathe deep and remember my grandma.
