A Simple Pleasure

As I was toweling off after my shower the memory of
pretty boxes of flowery talcum powder with lamb skin
puffs came to mind.
Every girl from 14 on had a box and used it after
a bath or shower.
Oh the pleasure of the cloud of scented talc
settling on your skin.
Where have all the pretty boxes of talc gone?

I remember when we were little and stayed with you and Grandpa after bath you would give us a little puff. It smelled so nice and felt so special.

Crabtree and Evelyn has some deliciously scented talcum powder...I have some sparkly scented powder from Victoria's Secret! :)

I opened a gift hsop last May, and we actually have 3 of those pink plastic powder boxes! So fun to hear a little story about them, and taht memory from one of your grandkids.
Thanks for sharing.
