I travelled back to the exact second I stepped into the display room and found myself enrobed in the faint scent of roses, soothing like a salve and very familiar like the rose garlands children play with at weddings; but also reminiscent of the incredibly sophisticated scent of my mother’s perfume as she put me to bed by 9 pm every night.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
My father’s grandmother played a huge part in my upbringing and after my great-grandfather passed away, I shared a room with her until I was 6. After my mother put me to bed, my great-grandmother would initiate our nightly ritual- make herself a cup of rosebud tea before settling next to me and telling me beautiful stories from the past. I vividly remember the subtle yet lingering aroma of the rose perfume and stories gently lulling me to sleep.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I don’t remember what my great-grandmother’s Rose tea looked like but I like to imagine it would have looked like this.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Last year, I added her tea ritual to my bedtime routine as a way of honouring my great-grandmother and also to ground myself before bed. This simple act of brewing a small cup of tea makes me feel closer to her and generates incredible gratitude for her presence in my life and the warmth that she exuded .
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This piece of fabric took me down memory lane and I’m very excited to share this with you because this fabric is as beautiful as the cherished moments it took me back to.
