I had a nice little crop of lavender this year and I picked and dried lots of it. I love the smell and look of lavender so I thought I'd show a few ways I use it around my house.
Don't miss another post! Follow me:
in a home made paper cone and hung from a shutter
a few sprigs in a pretty bottle in the bathroom
a bunch tied with a satin ribbon and hung upside down on a mirror in the bedroom
a bunch pre-dried and displayed in a decorative perfume bottle
broken stems, leaves and flower petals dried and put in a pretty potpourri dish
more bits and pieces in a small mason jar
A silver cuff bracelet with a mauve medallion sits on top of the petals
and a tiny beaded necklace adorns the lip.
All parts of lavender are fragrant and when dried, the fragrance lasts and lasts. My whole house smells like lavender these days and I'm loving it!!
Have a happy week.

I planted two lavender plants this summer but forget to harvest ;( I will be on it next year for sure. It was fun to see how you used yours in your home.
ReplyDeleteLove the lavender on the shutter! I'm sure it smells heavenly!

ReplyDeleteLavender is my favourite scent. It freshens any room. I like the ways you have scattered lavender around your house Anne.
ReplyDeleteI love lavender and you have displayed it so beautifully throughout the house....Love the paper cone Anne!!!
ReplyDeleteLovely lavender, Anne--I like it in the paper cone on the shutter! My lavender plants have died out over time--I only have one french lavender plant left, and it's kind of teeny. I better do something about that next spring!
