If I were as stingy with my money as I am with my garden greens ... my husband says ... I'd be a millionairess by now ... ;)
my Juniper's just got their first trim ... and I just couldn;t get myself to throw away all the cuttings ... I love the heavy woody fragrance ... and if its my treasure then I got to have them in the treasure chest ... :)
there are some very fragrant greens in the garden ... if you try them ... some of their cutting make the room smell beautiful ... and in case of the more woody ones like the juniper and other conifers ... you can even mush up some thicker stems and branches and hide them in all that green ... the thicker ones are more fragrant at times ... then the tender ones ...
So next time you are doing away with the greens ... think of me ... :) and ofcourse please ... Oh! please share with me what you ended up doing with them ... in the meanwhile .... aaaouch! they are bloody pokey ... but I am enjoying the fragrance ...and they look pretty too ... what do you say... :)

Hi Rajee,
I know exactly what you mean by natural fragrances in the house. Summer, I always cut some branches in the evening from Raat ki Rani bush and bring it inside. If I am having overnight guests I leave a small bowl of Michelia Champaca flowers in their room. I love your brass treasure chest. What a beautiful piece!
Lovely pictures, and the chest too.
Hi Preeti,
Glad you enjoyed it ... :)
Hi Mo,

Hi Anu,
Thankyou ... grabbed that chest at the Navi Mumbai brass store ... the evening before I left for Gurgaon ... ;)
Hi Sidu,
Everything about this is all Indian ... I was told that the man who cast this brass chest was a traveller of sorts ... I often wonder myself if his inspirations were from more than one region of India... :)
Hi @ Once upon a tea time,
Guess some spur of the moment thingies turn out quite nice ... glad you too enjoyed it ... :)
Hi Sanghamitra,
Thankyou ... always love to hear from you... :)
Hi Gagan,
That chest is surprisingly very heavy and no way was I being able to hold the lid up ... kept closing over the lil' cuttings ... but I guess in the end it looks nice just that way ... :)
Thanks for dropping by and leaving me your thoughts ... love them as always ... :)
Hi Snehal,
All I can say girlie is ... fly over ... I'll come pick you up at the airport ... :)

HI Komali,
I can imagine how amazing it is to have all those fragrant flower plants around ...I too am thinking of planting Raat Ki Rani along the windows to bring in some natural fragrances with the wind ... :)THanks for dropping by and sharing your thoughts with me .. :)
