My New Display For The Upcoming Season

I am preparing for my first ever booth at a local event.  Please join me at The Rolling Hills General Store this Saturday, March 16th, from 9-4 for their annual garage sale.  There will be 15 other venders offering a wide array of crafty and equestrian-related items.  Hope to see you there!

Here's your sweet lavender...

"Here’s your sweet lavender,

"sixteen sprigs a penny,

"that you’ll find my ladies,

"will smell as sweet as any."

Lavender Sellers’s Cry, London England CA 1900

I am drowning in lavender, but making the best of it. (It's a tough job). Tonight Kiddo and I made these very luxurious bath fizzies. Like everything, good stuff is worth waiting for. At least I think so... Kiddo couldn't wait and is using three of them as we speak. From the bathroom I hear squeals of joy and amazement. (Next science experiment covered).

Her impatience is her own loss, however. Mine are going to dry out and last much longer. I will enjoy them on Friday night with the glass of wine I'll be allowing myself after overindulging for the holidays. I can't wait!

If they're as good as I think they're going to be, I'll post the recipe...

Hand Milled Soap With Lavender Buds

I am just crazy about lavender!  My gardening pal gave me bunches of lovely dried lavender that was harvested out of her garden over the summer.  It's so fragrant!  I couldn't resist making this hand-milled soap.  It's almost ready to go and will be included on my website when I launch it later this month.
