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.

Coastal Inspired Posters

These coastal inspired posters are free to download from the Ideal Home magazine website here. They have framed them in cheap A4 frames painted white (I have seen similar frames in Poundland), dont they look fab? I also thought they would work well printed onto fabric sheets and made into bags for the beach or shopping.
