This 1980's book is definitely 'of its time' , but I still enjoyed looking at the pictures and enjoying the author's enthusiasm.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS BOOK!!! It is a Beloved favorite, has been in my library for years, and I review it intermittently, it is a wonderful delight in my personal development. This book fosters and nurtures the feminine memory of my childhood, before I lived through the difficult points of trauma. I enjoy meditating and fostering the inner potential of my personal identity that was not allowed to grow as a child. This book reenforces my personal recovery, wellness and creates a nurturing environment, it waters my soul!

A beautiful book full of lovely ideas and even lovelier photographs so that while I indulge my romantic wishes by browsing it matters not whether I implement the actual idea in my surroundings. I can sigh and long and then dust the book rather than the actual nosegays etc.

Beautifully produced book of potpourri recipes. I have made some myself!
