  1. I had little sprig of lavendar on all our tables at our wedding 11 years ago. I remember sitting up late at night tying them into bundles. The scent will always remind me of that niight.

  2. I love the candle holder wrapped in Lavender. I'm sure when it's lit the fragance fills the room. Thanks for sharing!

  3. It is such a pretty flower with a lovely fragrance. I tried to grow it here in south Florida but it didn't do well. Not sure if it was the heat or the sandy soil ?

    This reminds me; I need to place an order with Norfolk Lavender for another bottle of their wonderful lavender cologne.

  4. Love lavender! I do regret never getting up to the Sequim area of Washington State for the annual Lavender Festival, and now I am back on the east coast. Great blog!

  6. You know I used to hate lavender, all of the artificial, perfumy scents that you typically find in products. Then I discovered genuine lavender and fell in love. :) I use it in my bath salts, one of my air fresheners and it's great to use as a mist to disinfect motel/hotel rooms. :)

  7. I agree, lavender is absolutely gorgeous! The shade of purple is just fabulous. :) And I adore that first idea, with the lavender surrounding the candle. So lovely!

  9. So many ideas! My boyfriend has lavendar in his yard that grows like crazy. This year we will have to try some of these things. I love the look of the lavendar wrapped around the candle jar!
