I dread some parties because of small talk. So I prefer my guests not have to endure the same if possible. My antidote whether I am hosting a small group or large is to use Conversation Starters also known as icebreakers.
I Love Lavender.
The rich purple-blue flower spikes are so picturesque sitting on a window sill or hanging from a door knob.
My passion for its scent began one afternoon 5 years ago. I walked through a door but not just any door. It was the door of a 300 year old stone villa perched on a hilltop village in the Luberon Valley in Provence.
I spotted it on my 28th birthday. I was on board a ship in the Port of Piraeus outside of Athens Greece with my husband and 18 Swedish sailors (or at least I think they were sailors.) They were a group of young men sponsored by some churches to help with preparing the vessel for sea.
