I just started a lavender blog here in Perth Australia and my friends are amazed at how much you can do with the lovely lavender. I enjoyed a lavender Devonshire tea recently and am planning on more culinary delights as I source more lavender recipes. I am meeting such lovely ppl as I check out lavender sites. Lavender lovers sure are keen on this aromatic herb and it's great to be meeting you all in cyberspace.Patriciahttp://www.lavenderuses.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2634969979683449053.post-24533304193544485422010-07-01T07:31:41.107-04:002010-07-01T07:31:41.107-04:00How cute!

I think I tied the rubberband, pulled the stems over the buds and then tied the ribbon at the bottom. I couldn't figure out the weaving thing and I wasn't sure how many stems to use so I grabbed a handful. I'm glad I got some clarification while reading this one.Jaimehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00081121933082347062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2634969979683449053.post-52761499036269019652010-06-23T07:24:13.004-04:002010-06-23T07:24:13.004-04:00Nance, with so many good friends, how could my day...Nance, with so many good friends, how could my days not be sunny?
