I have been busy since we got back from visiting the lavender farms. (If you didn’t get a chance to see the farm, you simply must scroll down and look at the pictures! Lavender is commercially grown on these farms; their beauty is breathtaking.) I picked lots of lavender at the U-Pick farm and am now dividing them up and making small little bouquets wrapped with ribbon. Just a few sweet, simple little gifts.
Some of the pictures turned out so lovely that I have been making cards with the photos. I bought cardstock and simply cut the photo’s out and glued them to the cardstock with ribbon tied around the top. Inside has a little lavender stamp and a place to write a note. I’ve been happy as a kindergartner with a new crayon box as I cut, stamp, and tie ribbon around each unique card. The best part is thinking how pleased friends will be when they receive a lovely handmade photo card of the farm.
The smell of lavender is strong as I work wrapping the little bouquets. My dining room table is filled with snips of lavender paper, photos, and best of all… lavender memories.
Linking with Simple Pleasures as we visit and share the simple blessings in our life.
