i love
the scented talc
my mother kept forever
in the round can
with orange
swirls of flowers
and a soft fluffy
powder puff
and the yellowing
waxy paper
covering
the yellowish
scented talc
kept for special occasions
she never used

Sheila! I think your mom’s talcum powder is the one I’ve been trying to find…it came in a round can with “Russell and Co.” and “Hothouse Flowers” on the can. The scent: frangipani. I bought mine years ago at an import chain, and can’t locate it. I LOVE the scent. Pls let me know if you can help me find it! I think it’s a product of Scotland….Beverly
