I've been doing a lot of puttering, decluttering, simplifying and organizing. I just cleaned up my garage and reorganized things a bit. I decided to put little lavender bouquets on the nightstands in the master and the guest room, so you get that lovely relaxing lavender smell as you drift off to sleep. I'm enjoying using my lavender spray in the bathrooms. I spray it on after I've cleaned. I think it would be nice to put a little lavender oil on a cotton ball and push it down into the bouquet as this lavender is old. I'll replace it with new lavender when it blooms this year. The lavender scent never seems to go completely away. I had this bunch in a storage box and it smelled lovely when I opened it. Putting your old lavender in drawers would be very nice and everything in that drawer would smell so good. I love lavender. Using the oil in the bath is a great way to relax too.

Sounds like you have been getting some productive things done! Pondering.
How beautiful! Lavender is so relaxing, and it looks so beautiful in your pretty little pitcher! I can hardly wait until we actually have something growing here - maybe after THIS storm passes?!
A few years ago, I made lavender honey, it was delicious - I just cleaned the lavender and poked a few sprigs into a small bottle of honey. After a few days the honey took on the flavor and was so good.

Barb, I haven't used the stems like that, good idea. We made lavender sugar with the buds. My lavender doesn't bloom until later in the season. Also the landscapers just pruned it a few weeks ago. I should have done it in the fall. Linda
Wonderful post Linda! I love lavender and it does a wonderful job of retaining it's scent. I love your idea of having it on your bedside table, as it is so relaxing! Your vignette is very lovely! Love, Paula
