Autumn brings bunches of lavender, freshly dried once the heat of Summer is past. At the ScreenDoor in Asheville there was a delightful booth filled with fragrant lavender offerings.
I couldn't resist buying a couple of bunches, one for a friend, and one to place here.......above my kitchen sink.
More lavender bunches, exquisite crystal chandelier.........
.......delicate lavender sachets to tuck in drawers or a pillow case.
Clean wrapped bars of sweet smelling lavender soap.
An expensive ticket to Provence not really required (but of course if you have the opportunity go, it's so beautiful there!). A trip to many places right here in the USA offer beautiful lavender in all its many perfumed forms.

I've just been taking all the dried flowwers off my lavender. It's been gradually drying in paper bags for a while. Soon I'll be using it in my Christmas present making.

Hi Mary, You know I love lavender. Your pictures are impressive. Actually, stunning. I wish I was there to shop, shop, and shop some more. My favorites are, well, all of them. I love the huge beautifully shaped jar filled with the sachets. I also love the soaps! I must remember to visit you more often. *hugs*
ReplyDeleteThat was such lovely lavender there. If we hadn't been leaving for Florida I would've gotten some.
ReplyDeleteOne can never have too much lavender!!
ReplyDeleteFor some reason I can't grow it.. I am mad for
ReplyDeleteYardleys lavender soap. We always had it as I
was growing up. Yes in Texas 1940's That company
also has a rose soap. Devine...
