The lavender is beginning to bloom in our garden.
That means Valensole, the area where the lavender fields are that I love to visit, is budding. We are about two weeks ahead. The best time to see the lavender fields is around the end of June or early July, but this year it looks like it will be earlier. It is the prettiest when the buds are fully bloomed. That is when the color and fragrance is the most vivid.
Everything you wanted to know about visiting the Lavender fields.
I am planning our next Experience in September. I would like to repeat the same things we did, but the other options are also wonderful. Surely, we will return to Mo's studio Reves d'Argile, have a drink in the gardens of Picasso's lover's home, and hit several brocantes or a hundred, More sounds better to me, but I am not the only one going.
If you were coming to the Experience, what would you hope to see or do?
French lard pots, 1800 to 1900s confit pots speak Provence. I cannot stop collecting them. The more I see of them, the more charming their appeal. Various sizes, always in green and yellow, though the blue and white ones, especially the white ones, I cannot part with. They are harder to find, and they stay inside my home.
The straw, wicker, basket-covered bonbons… oh my, I could not pass this one up, could you? If you say yes, don't tell me.
Provencal summer ware. This is why I do not have any new clothes… how can I go clothes shopping if there is a brocante in town?
