| I've never posted to this forum before, but thought I could get the answers I am looking for here.
I've got the best bloom going on my Lavender. Best I've had yet. I want to do something creative with it, but I'm not sure what. I've done a couple dried arrangments in the past, but I want to utilize this awesome fragrance.
What kind of things can I do with fresh lavender? Or can I?
Dani :o) |

| Dani, I've tried using dried lavender in soap and it turns a ucky brown. Potpourri is the only thing that comes to mind. |

| Have you cut the stems real close to the ground, bent them at the bottom of the blooms, brought the stems way up & over the blooms, & wove ribbon through the stems & then made a bow? You'd have something that resembles a sock darner. I wish I knew what this is called! |

What about making it in bath teas?
just google bath tea recipe (lavender)
I bet you find a ton of recipes.
They would make great gifts!! |

| Another nice use for the dried buds is drawer sachets. You can put them in pretty organza bags or simple muslin ones. |
