I like to grow stuff, especially lavender. These lavender bottles are easy to make and nice to put in the linen cupboard.

I love lavender! I like the bags of dried lavender :) Or just having dried bunches hanging in the kitchen.

I love it too. We have a fair bit and I always take the seeds off. I make Lavender Bags with my wrinklies at Age concern on a Monday, then they all take them home and shove them in a drawer.

I have a feeling there isn't one, unless it is like the Emperor's New Clothes!!

Lavender filled products are one of my biggest sellers all year round, in fact I have just been to a lavender farm today to get new stocks. The aroma in my workshop is lovely.

I love everything lavender-growing, crafting and even cooking with it.

Oh, I remember those dark winter mornings, bringing the lavender in at four o' clock for milking.................the hardest bit was having to decide which ones were for the chop. :)

I love lavender, I even managed to buy some lavender jelly jam, it was delicious and kept everyone guessing for a while as to what the flavour was.

I love lavender - we have a huge bush of it in the back garden, but we can't have it in the house cos it's the one thing guaranteed to make OH sleep like RipVanWinkle - even after a full nights sleep lol

There's nothing to beat it is there? It speaks of 'vintage', cosy grandma's all on it's own. Lovely stuff!

Bloomin eck i just lost my post :mad:

I also love lavender and wanted to show you some fabby lavender wrist thingys that you put under your wrist if you type a lot to stop repetative strain - and some lovely pomander bags for those who don't have lavender growin - I do but it is really poor and scraggly - any suggestions as to why the three plants i have are all so misreable? Should i cut them back? I have had hardly any flowers this year and whilst I hope that they will pick up now that I have moved them, i feel sure that they are lacking in something - any miracle cures for dead looking lavender?
