Sunny days, and seeing everything in the garden come to life reminded us of the lavender we dried last year at Cow & Ghost Towers. It's always been a favourite plant with both of us, and the smell brings back many happy childhood memories.
Does anyone remember the black and white film 'Arsenic & Old Lace'. This is the updated Cow & Ghost 'take' on it.... 'Lavender & Old Blankets'.
As many know, we love a Welsh blanket. Sadly over the years many become damaged beyond use. We enjoy recycling them and giving them a new lease of life as cushions. There are often offcuts, and we can't bear to throw away even a tiny piece. We now have a box of 'bits'....
Had the idea of making them into lavender bags. Great for use in drawers, and on pillows as lavender is a great aid to good sleep. Didn't take long to find a few small pieces in the store box.
Some folding and sewing
Hey Presto. A collection of lavender bags ideal for storage,
and pretty enough to display.
We'll be bringing a selection along to our next fair in Newport, Pembrokeshire. Hope to see you there.
