The Scented Linen Cupboard

The Scented Linen Cupboard-For centuries, the old fashioned woman has lovingly tended to her herb
gardens, not simply for the delicious flavor they impart or for the healing medicinal
properties they possess, but for the delicious fragrance herbs lend to
her linen cupboards and clothes closets. In old homes where romance still lingers,
the pleasure of setting glorious bouquets of fragrant herbs and scented florals among lovely
white linens is still a revered and beloved tradition, and is favored by those who take pride in deliciously
feminine touches so redolent of days gone by.
In the linen cupboard, cinnamon sticks and dried vanilla beans are carefully tucked between the folds of
favored linens and blankets, while sachets and little bowls of scented potpourris are nestled in cupboard drawers
and placed upon cupboard shelves to impart a delightful fresh scent. Made from a host of intoxicating herbs,
dried flowers, whole spices and cedar chips, sweet smelling potpourri’s are particularly favored for chasing
moths away and for imparting a delicious fragrance to the linen cupboard and its delicate contents.
