Buon Giorno Tas,
Thanks alot for your contribution and feedback.
As I had mentioned, just request non sprayed with insecticide Roses of the color of your choice.
They can be found at most Farmer´s Markets and Florists or online.
This is something very light, aromatic and elegant.
Kind regards,
Marge. ------------- Volamos a Mediterraneo, un paraiso que conquista su gente u su cocina. |
