Errands in the local town this morning.
Thundering at the moment as rain comes in.
I saw them and the scent - always pleases me.
Usually wait until after Christmas and find
a pot on sale.
Looking at them the clerk stepped up
and I commented how I liked them
but too expensive.
She said "if you would like them I will mark them half price."
I replied "you will do this?"
So they were purchased
and I put them in my bedroom on my desk.
Narcissus Paper Whites
they smell heavenly...
A Christmas present
to myself.....
Baking a cake soon
and not planning on leaving the woods
until next week.
My idea of Heaven...

Such a nice clerk! Almost like being gifted twice!
One kind act can make such a difference. Every time you smell that scent you will remember this gift.
That was so sweet of the clerk to do that for you.
I love that picture of your desk with the paper whites and I see some hearts too.
I would stay in your woods too. I'm staying here in our little haven until I have to go to work. I love being at home.
Love and hugs to you dear Ernestine.

Charlotte, Sharon, Lorraine,
Tabor, Pienosole and Sandy,
thanks for visiting :)
Oh yes--I love PaperWhites--the smell is divine!!! So nice to have something actively growing this time of year.
i love them, too! lucky you to find such an accommodating sales clerk. glad you are going to have a quiet week exactly where you want to be!
Lovely thought, lovely gift, lovely price.
I bought myself this large pot of daisies with a tiny poinsettia in
the middle. Something about flowers.
Though given my druthers I would have chosen narcissi.
I'm hunkering too, Ernestine, let's keep in touch.
It is soooo cosy...
