Purple Lilac

Lilac Find

While growing up in Spokane, Washington, the lilacs heralded spring and the Lilac Parade and the crowning of the Lilac Princess. The blooming bushes wafted a sweet fragrance that could only be topped by the roses blooming come summer. Lilac was my favorite color and my bedroom curtains, bedspread and rugs where all handmade by my mother in a lilac plaid.
