Harvest time

As the summer starts to draw to an end, I am busy collecting petals and lavender from my garden for our little lavender bags.

I'm currently sat in the garden with my coffee, and the smell of lavender instantly takes me back to summer holidays in the south of France, sat outside a cafe with the warm sunshine on my skin.

I have made lavender bags for years and it's amazing how the smell of these little organza bags will linger long into the winter months when the blue skies disappear and you start to think that the sun will never return.
