the rain has stopped and the lavender is ready to pick
I pick a bundle a day and bringing it into the house to dry
it hangs upside down for a few weeks - then I crumble the flower tops to use in soap, sachets, and neck pillows with flax seeds and rice
Patty at Magpies Nest has been busy making lovely lavender wands - check out her blog HERE
I bet the house smells delightful. Love that last photo!!
