Dried Lavender


There are various kinds of lavender, which one is in your garden?
My favorite is  "English Lavender".




Every morning, I cut off some of them just prior to come into bloom.

To produce the dried lavender in a better shape, cutting them when their buds are about to burst is one of the keys to success, I guess.





The leaves separated from the stems are to put in a sheer paper back.
Putting it in my pillow, I drift off into a peaceful sleep:-) 





Let's hang them in an airy place...





Love this antique lace ribbon:-)




A couple of days later, let's decorate them...





with a handmade wire craft...









I'm wondering where the next batch should be...:)




Having a sweet smell, I feel a small happiness every morning to do this short time work:-)

Thank you for stopping by!

  3. Sweet crafts with lovely lavender. Love the little wire crafts. Your photos show a beautiful country garden and home. I don't see a high-rise apartment in the big city! :)
