Favourite Scents

Goodbye January - ACEO art by Christine


Wow, we are at the end of January already!  It's a good thing as winter advances along.  I was at the mall earlier this week, the morning before a big winter storm hit.  Bath and Body Works had a sale on liquid soaps.  A woman was there with her small granddaughter.  I thought it was sweet how she had the little girl sniff the scents and choose the soaps she liked the smell of.  They asked me what one of the ones I had selected was.  It turns out it was eucalyptus something.  They weren't interested in that one as the little granddaughter did not like the smell of eucalyptus.  It was kind of like an educational field trip wasn't it?  The little girl was learning to choose her favourite liquid soaps by smell.  What fun with grandma!

Well scents are a matter of taste...oops, smell! That was sweet. When I am shopping or out in a store and I go past candles I stand there and smell all the scents. I don't burn candles but I love to smell them in the stores. Most don't smell that way when burning. Same with places like Bath and Body Works~ Love those scents and I will stand around smelling them till I find one I like. Cute painting. Stay warm.

That's a real nice share about the grandmother and her little girl, thanks for sharing it. I like your pine tree with the sun and that big splash of yellow. Very pretty!

that gramma sounds fun - I hope I am like that, no I am like that with my grandkids - and I miss them and wish they were around more. My favorite scent - (of all my senses my sense of smell is dominant)... of all time. are a few - Cashmere room spray - wow, wonderful and I love anything Sandalwood. Perfect end of January sketch!

Nothing like spending time with a grandchild. I must say, I would favor the little girls smells, and I love warm vanilla sugar, and cucumber honey...my sweet tooth doesn't end with food. HaHa
