There is a princess, we are told, of indescribable wealth, who is fascinated by the mixing of garden scents. "A touch of lavender for sleep," she muses here, in an ornate gown and stole trimmed with "Wisper". "And rosemary, that's for remembrance." Rumor has it that she has captured her favorite scent, that of old English roses, in a rose-amethyst vial to carry with her wherever she goes. While you stitch, consider the effect of fragrances in your life, and resolve to surround yourself with those that bring you happiness, too.
