My grandmother used to cut them very short and put them in a soup bowl. I remember when I got my house, the first thing I did was to get a climbing rose. When it bloomed, I cut a few and put them in a soup bowl. I teared up just sniffing them.<BR/><BR/>I'm not keen on long baths myself but I love scented soaps! I discovered skinlicious and they have gorgeous soaps made with the actual herbs/flowers. They're big, very bulky but last a long time. I'm currently using lemongrass with poppy seeds. http://www.skinlicious.ca/prod_thumbs.aspCycling Goddesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15365817168224699607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6759020785662372535.post-36466946816819556022009-03-13T07:38:00.000-04:002009-03-13T07:38:00.000-04:00Kylie: That's nice.

I just melt smelling them (after I pick them and put them in little vases, not leaning down to the ground).<BR/><BR/>Funny you would talk about soap, as Don and I have been talking about making soap here on the farm. He's into the soap making part, and reading up on it people say their house smells incredible while it's curing. Cool. Me, I want to design the packaging, because like you, I love buying soaps for how they're wrapped. If I love the packaging, and pick them up and love the smell, and if they're not $6 a bar, sold!Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14204074161539605133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6759020785662372535.post-57234561800247559202009-03-12T06:32:00.000-04:002009-03-12T06:32:00.000-04:00Geewits: I know, gets me washing up more often!Jea...Geewits: I know, gets me washing up more often!<BR/><BR/>Jeannette: Honeysuckle sounds lovely, too.VioletSkyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10222821877918680480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6759020785662372535.post-31296273504619262212009-03-12T04:50:00.000-04:002009-03-12T04:50:00.000-04:00Don't know if you have the store "Bath and Body Wo...Don't know if you have the store "Bath and Body Works" in Canada?
