Lavender
Rose and Lavender
When collecting fresh lavender to dry, it is best to pick the stems before the flowers are completely out…
A giant bundle
Rose helped collect a giant bundle.

Eight or ten stems
We gathered eight or ten stems into smaller bundles, and wrapped each in twine…they are being hung with their flowerheads facing down so they dry without drooping.

A Little bundle
But Rose doesn’t want to hang this little wee bundle in with the big ones for fear it will get lost.

A good place
They will flavour the air and look pretty drying here!

Quimper Hittys 
Ummmmmmmmm, I can smell it from here! Wonderful relaxed atmosphere…sweet happy dreams to come. Good, good life!
We love lavender, and got the idea from you!
How very sweet!
We love following the Hittys around as they admire and collect their flowers…
I would like to talk to you personally about weaving/guild stuff could you email me at mjbetts@telus.net thanks Jean
OK!
I lOVE lavender…just love it The smell the color the plants….ahhhh. I have tried several times to grow it with very limited success. Right now I have several pots of “mini” lavender. I doubt it will flower but it does smell quite nice when one squashes a few leaves together. hmmm sounds like something Hetty Hickory would advocate! Love
the photo of the girls in that lovely bed with the lavender drying…..so creative!!
Constance and Rose are quite prepared to allow the bliss to last a little longer! They wish they could send some lavender, but cross-border plant transport might be illegal.
yes I agree…the packet would be confiscated!! My girls and I will made do with our mini lavender. But thank you for thinking kindly of us here . We shall sleep well imagining all of you inhaling that aroma.
Sweet dreams to you and Hetty!
