Lavender Sachets

I have already shown quite a few of my lavender sachets here as I have them all over my house - hanging from door handles and shelves and tucked into cupboards. Here are a few more:-
The Scotties and Westies design is by Textile Heritage, a Scottish company who have some fabulous traditional cross stitch kits for sale, as well as more modern designs in the last few years.
The second heart I made using a scrap of vintage fabric and lace and the third by sewing the sides of a vintage doily, filling with wadding and lavender flowers and adding a ribbon hanger and ribbon roses.
I usually buy locally grown (Norfolk) lavender to fill my sachets but this year I planted my own in two stone planters I have outside my back door. Since I took this photograph in April they have grown quite a lot so hopefully I will soon have my own supply of lavender flowers to use.

  4. I'll bet your little lavender sachets smell so nice, Shirley. Our lavender plants have died out this year so I need to replace them soon. I really like your little scottie ornament--always reminds me of my aunt and uncle who raised scotties their entire lives.

  5. Hi Shirley
    Thank you for the lovely comment on my blog. I am flattered to have a blog long friend and it's nice to come and visit you too. I was going to ask you about the fantastic avatar you have, but then reading on I see it is one of your own dogs, Wilberforce. He looks amazing, so very cute. He could be a model for CK looking like that. He would give Stanley a run for his money. We are not doggy folk but there are just some breeds that seem to really appeal. But I musn't leave out your other three who all are very photogenic!
    You are a very busy person I can see so I will be back to keep checking up.
    Regards
